Can anyone shed some light on what case law would be mentioned in this. Secondly, the Jordan v min for children seems based on referendums with regard to article 42a what case law would you refer. I've done a little reading but not sure if I'm on the right track just need someone's opinion ....thank you in advance !

I haven't registered for a prep course yet and dont know if they would take me at this stage.

Equity, Property and Contract have the least amount of learning and they also share cases so there's less to remember in that sense. I would recommend Criminal or Company as a fourth; they're some of the nicer ones.

I recently graduated from Maynooth with a PhD in history but the job market in academia is fairly bleak and besides I don’t feel ready to go all corduroy pants and tweed coat wearing crazy academic on the world just yet, so here I am. I’ve always had an interest in law which increased during the course of my PhD due to the nature of my topic and as changes in disciplines go it doesn’t seem to be such a big jump. I suppose it would make sense to sign up to one of the prep courses but unfortunately this isn’t an option for me due to financial reasons. However, there seems to be a lot of information online, this thread is great and as I’m in part-time employment in Maynooth I have access to the library and its online resources. Considering I’m not a law graduate (I see that many of you are) and have no formal education or work experience in the field, it might be too big of an ask to successfully sit three or four exams in October but I’m motivated, I’m used to putting long hours and as I see it I’ve got nothing to lose. So again, where to start? I have a decent grasp of constitutional due to my background in Irish history although it seems to be considered one of the tougher subjects? What do people generally think are the easier subjects or what would be good ones to take together? Contract, Equity and Company? I realise that this is probably a matter of preference but I don’t even have enough of familiarity with the other subjects to have a preference. So, generally speaking, what would you recommend? Your thoughts on this and any other advice would be much appreciated.

In relation to those sitting the fe1s for the first time - I planned to sit four in my first go last October, ended up dropping Constitutional the day after my first exam when I realised there was not enough time to cover enough for the others and pass the magic three on my first go. It worked for me and I passed all three, but if anyone is only planning on doing three from the start, make sure you cover enough topics in all them so that you're not panicking in the exam. It's an awful feeling knowing that you don't have any room for mistakes because you're only doing three but it can be done. For me it was tough trying to get it all done because I was/am working full time on top of the study, but hoping it will be all worth it in the end!
