I'm running through exam answers from the top of the list down, and I am on Remedies at the moment. This is so I leave myself plenty of time to practice, practice, practice to get the timing down.

I'm finding it difficult to decide how much I need to memorise as some questions lend themselves more to a problem structure, i.e. Occupiers Liability & Product Liability so I don't feel I would need to rote learn them as much as say Res Ipsa or Damages that you'd expect an essay on.

Would it be critical to leave any of the above out? TIA

If you're advising someone you can say that you would apply to have that other person can be added as a party to the proceedings, it might save your client a bomb if the plaintiff goes after them for damages as well or instead (theres an Irish rail case on this)! So you're showing that you're really trying to help your client get out of a sticky situation Even to say that on the facts there isn't an issue of concurrent wrongdoers it shows you know your stuff. Also look into the crime of conspiracy e.g R v Parnell (links into concurrent wrongdoers). It is basically what it says on the tin, two or more people planning to commit a tort together. Really surprised it isn't in your manual!

The main thing to remember is that you have lots of time so use it wisely. Those are two good subjects to start with. I would say for both of them, do out notes of your own on a topic e.g. succession in property, keep reading over them and look at as many exam questions as you can for each. By that, I mean seeing how you would answer the question in an exam. You will find that questions can repeat themselves so it is really important to be familiar with the questions and know how you would approach them. For contract also, the examiner writes quite good exam reports. She tends to highlight areas where students did poorly so I made a note of these points in my notes. This is quite important as you don't want to stumble over something previously flagged. After that, it just comes down to reading and rereading notes. Personally, I don't start to rote learn until nearer the exam. That's just my take on it. If I am familiar with my notes and what's written down, then 2-3 weeks generally is fine for the rote learning. That's just my view on what you should be doing. Best of luck with the study!
