Hi everyone,

back to this again and already tired.
I would much appreciate some advice please, I am sitting 5 in October and I hate EU law absolutely terrified.
I tried as much as I could do to shorten Competition Law and still going at 19 pages.
Some people advised that they left it out.
I am doing all usual topics and Brussels 1 on top.
How many of you that passed EU left competition out?

Thank you

Mayo91 · 15-08-2017 03:29PM

Lumi77

List the topics you're doing and I'll tell you what ones I'm covering. I'm doing 5 as well so Im right there with you

Lumi77 · 15-08-2017 03:44PM

ok thank you so doing:
1. sources
2. institutions
3. state liability
4. all the free movements all 3 of them
5. citizenship
6. equality
7. brussels 1
8. judicial review
10. preliminary reference
11. direct effect
12. general principles
13. supremacy
14. competition law which i am thinking skipping

Lumi77 · 15-08-2017 03:45PM

and case notes sorry i forgot

Username1994 · 15-08-2017 03:48PM

Hey is there a specific list of cases that can come up in the case note question in EU?

randomchild · 15-08-2017 03:49PM

I passed EU without even glancing at competition law. I can't guarantee you'll do the same, but it is a very isolated part of the course.

Lumi77 · 15-08-2017 03:51PM

Thank you, yes i did hear some people did and it is very very big.
Cant cut down more than 19 pages

Lumi77 · 15-08-2017 04:19PM

The main cases that keep repeating and new cases. I am compiling a list at the moment so I may be able to help in a few weeks

Robbie25808 · 15-08-2017 05:05PM

For EU I am thinking of studying:

Institutions
Sources of Law
General Principles of EU law
Impact of National Legal Systems
Member State Liability
Judicial Review
All the Free Movements
Union Citizenship
Equality
Competition Law (possibly skip mergers or are they always asked together?)
State Aid and State Participation (because its topical)

So basically I am thinking of leaving out:
Preliminary Reference Procedure
Infringement Procedure
Mergers
Private International Law

What do people think about this?

OMGWACA · 15-08-2017 10:19PM

Bit random but I'm looking for some relevant podcasts that would be good for constitutional? Looking to utilize my commute time and listen to something as I travel. Taking constitutional, property and tort - any and all suggestions much appreciated!

I know some people who recorded their own notes and played them back to themselves repeatedly - good way to learn material apparently!

LexJura2737 · 16-08-2017 09:41AM

Does anyone have a copy of the Constitutional Paper from March 2017? Or could anyone tell me what came up?
TIA!

He didn't examine Competition Law at all in March 2017. Mergers is its own chapter right? There was a general question on the development of merger policy.
So maybe Mergers won't come up in October. If I were you I'd study the rest of Competition, I'd say a question on it will come up.

Thanks for that. I have not looked at the past papers but I heard that Mergers and Competition can be mixed into one question? I could be wrong though.

Mod
Pls do not discuss examiners or their form here. Post amendeMy other piece of advice is to really focus on the last four papers, , and for study don't get too bogged down on detail, just get a good broad knowledge of a topic like Competition Law.

I can see how this would work and saves tiring the eyes.

supersaint3 · 16-08-2017 04:21PM

Guys, I'm only starting studying now- I do have all the past sample answers and a grid of frequency... my question is... if I simply learned let's say the past 5 years of answers per topic with a little reference reading here and there, not touching a manual, could I get myself over the line? I'm talking about a manual style regurgitation approach I suppose

with a pass being the goal

I passed Property and Equity with just Sample Answers, didn't even look at the manuals!

AislingB92 · 16-08-2017 08:16PM

Anyone have sample answers for EU and Constitutional...just looking for March 2017 sitting?
Thanks in advance!

Lumi77 · 17-08-2017 12:59PM

HI everyone,

LexJura that is exactly what I wanted to hear... How far back you go?

yournerd · 17-08-2017 02:39PM

Is anyone leaving out any topics in company law?

Lumi77 · 17-08-2017 03:04PM

I am leaving out Corporate contracts
auditors
torts and crime
only doing around 12 topics if that helps

Dsalmon91 · 17-08-2017 07:13PM

Would anyone have an up to date contract exam grid that they would be willing to send me, would be much appreciated. Thanks

It's not really about how far back you go... Like for example for Equity there were only 2/3 possible questions she would ask on each question (pretty much) obviously read more than 3 sample answers per topic just in case there's one minor detail different in one of the questions.
So I would identify the three questions I needed to learn from the past papers, then learn them from the sample answers.
Be a bit more strategic (for Equity and Property anyway) for studying the sample answers, rather than just reading through each sample answer paper for each year.
Having said that, I'd say 8 papers (so four year's worth of papers) should cover enough to pass.
