    How many cases would you normally quote in your exam essays? For instance in constitutional law, you have an hour and a half to answer three questions. If you were going to aim for a 1.1 how many words and how many cases should you do per question?

    You will never get an exact answer to this. It will depend enitrely on the question asked and the area that you are discussing. My approach would be to set out the area in at least a basic level of detail before beginning your analysis. Never throw in a case just for the sake of it at it might look like you didn't have anything to say about; an unfinished argument. You just have to quote enough cases to support your argument. Your starting point should be to have a point or view or argument and then support this with reference to the case law. Don't just write down every case you can think of and then made some weak argument in your concluding paragraph.
