Sat 4 FE1s in October and passed the four. I am delighted however I am now worried looking at the sheer amount of chapters in both Tort and Constitutional. Looking at the grids and nothing seems TOO predictable. How many chapters would people recommend covering. For example there are 28 chs in my CON manual! Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated!

Would you post a link to where I can find this please? I can only see the Autumn 2018 Exam paper on the Law Society's website, not the Examiners' Report!

Hi I have a pdf of the Constitutional Manual from 2015 which I can send on if you PM me your email address. I could do with the notes or slides etc from the Constitutional Conference in UCD last Thursday if you can send them on in return please?

I came up 12 per cent as well! Guys....always get the recheck I was so shocked, felt so ****ty coming out of that exam on the day and got less than 5/20 in 2 questions but apparently they thought it was worth bumping up.

Guys what are the topics one can 'reasonably' cut in constitutional, tort & criminal?

I am just not advancing working full-time. I am a little bit scared about this session. I need to cut down things as reasonably as I can.

Just have a question about trainee applications and references as applied for A&L's they had an early one cause they need more trainees at the moment, is it after the whole interview process they contact the referees/references or could it be any time? I'm thinking it would make sense that they wouldn't contact them until after the whole interview process but just want to check what ye think?

I'm 99% sure I'll get a reference from who I put down but I don't really want to ask them until I'm sure I actually have it.

Moderator: FE1 people, we don't want to have to return to a zero tolerance policy on trading here, handing out bans left, right and centre. It's not pleasant for anyone.

I also don't want or need to be posting a mod warning every page or so in this thread.

Do not engage in trading. The only exam materials that are excepted are exam grids and tbh, if we have to go back to zero tolerance, these will also be banned as we do not have the moderator resources to fully monitor exactly what is or isn't liable to give rise to issues.

This probably should be on the Milkrounds thread but my understanding is that firms will only contact referees around the time of finalising offers. Companies do sometimes call referees early on for more senior role recruitment, but I can't see HR in law firms calling up the referees of every trainee programme applicant until it's narrowed down to the final batch.

If anyone has up to date exam grids for Tort and Property I would be very grateful for them!

I have grids for every subject, but they are only up to October 17/March 18.

Anyone know where I could find a reasonably priced 2014 Companies Act? And must it be brand new for the exam?

It can be second hand as long as its not marked in anyway and there are two versions i believe, an annotated version and the act itself with no explanatory memos or the like. it is important to get the correct one for the exams. I think you can buy it from Bloomsbury but I am not sure as I borrowed a friends.

You cannot mark the Act however under the rules, you are allowed underline the Act and highlight the Act. I have done this for every exam with legislation.

An easy way to fly through the exam is to highlight the Legislation in a number of different colors and have corresponding tabs. Similarly I also underline in different color pens and then color in blanks tabs to correspond with the underline color. I have never had any issue with this. This is especially handy for the Companies Act or the EU Legislation.

See rule 1 of the following; https://www.lawsociety.ie/globalassets/documents/education/fe-1/legislativesources.pdf

YOU CANNOT PUT AN ASTERIX OR BULLET POINTS OR OTHER MARKS BUT YOU CAN DO THE ABOVE.

Hi

I have manuals for Griffith and Company from City and exam grids but for 2017. I also have condensed notes for all subjects except for EU and Equity.

Mod deletion. Pls do not discuss the various courses nor manuals

Anybody have any information as to what topics are certs to appear on the Constitutional Exam i.e similar to Succesion in Property or Directors in Company.

Yeah I think you're fine. As long as you posted it with the money, don't think they will refuse even if a few days late lol.

I'm trying to cover the unenumerated rights/personal rights for constitutional but struggling with the amount of cases involved. Any way of narrowing them down or could someone tell me the key cases to learn?

TIA

Can anyone give me a hand with constitutional.. I'm completely confused as to what level of detail to go into for each topic and what to cover!! Any help at all would be greatly appreciated

I genuinely said about 8 cases in the whole constitutional paper, based 3 of my 5 questions on the same case. I didn't know a thing and got 55. Have an idea of all of the chapters to be honest as there are some mixing. Don't be worrying too much as I know it can look really overwhelming.

Hi all,
I have Blackstone's EU Treaties book from my college course, but it is 2015-2016. Do you think that would do or should I get a more recent one?

thank you, you seemed to ace it! Yeah its the one that is worrying me the most, every topic just seems massive and there's so many cases.
