    Seriously OP. Iv seen your thread on the role of president aswell.

    I dont wanna sound like a prick but anything you get on boards will not be sufficient for your studies especially if you are doing a law degree. Surely you have notes and books in which you have access to. Constitutional interpretation is relatively straight forward so your text books would be a good place to go for it.
    If you are seriously stuck consider getting one of the FE1 manuals from griffith. Might set you back 30 or 40 quid but they sumarise the course fairly well and would be more than sufficient to get you a 2:1 in an undergrad exam. But tbh you really need to do the work yourself. Trust me from experience nothing sticks in your head more than reading a case over reading a summary of it.

    I agree with Hogzy'z remarks about studying case law.

    If you can find time to study the full report of the case, and perhaps look at some of the cases relied on by each side in their submissions you will get a good idea of the law on that particular topic. You can make your own summary for revision purposes.

    While notes and study guides have their uses at revision time, they do not give an in-depth understanding of the law. You need to read the cases.

    Good luck with it.
