The guidelines for returning to higher education were published today. I don't see how the FE1 exams can operate as normal adhering to these.Particularly the requirements relating to limiting contact group time to two hours and also bringing together such a large number of students for all over the country.

Thank you for posting.

Thanks for posting. It's worrying with only 3 weeks to go there has been no letter confirming exam number/ venue details for the August sitting. Considering that this period is where we are all in the swing of intense study it would be really good if there was some sort of communication as to what is planned for the next few weeks at least. I had a quick look over the "guidelines" they have not mentioned anything in relation to exam settings.

Lallers96 · 23-07-2020 07:24PM

They can't cancel these exams, I wouldn't worry. There's people who are starting training contracts in September that NEED to be able to sit these exams to complete their FE1s. Cancelling or rescheduling isn't an option.

There might be some lobbying efforts going on behind the scenes from big firms that need their new cohort of trainees - whether the exams happen online or offline is the bigger question.

do people not think online is the only viable option at this stage? With those guidelines and the rising cases surely the law society will have to follow in universities shoes and adapt online

Its almost too late at this stage to change course. I'm going on annual leave for the next three weeks for these exams. If they were to change format to online it would require giving students more notice to prepare just like the Bar did and the CAI.

Too late? They cancelled tort the day before, three days after guidelines were issued. I wouldn’t put anything past them.

I personally just can’t shake the feeling that there going to have to be online/cancelled or take another form ... doesn’t help with the motivation unfortunately

Ya I’m the same. You really do need the last 2 week push. I feel like it’s all short term memory.

legallyginger · 24-07-2020 09:20AM

Would anybody be able to tell me what came up for property/contract this year, grid only goes to Oct 2019

Rising cases? We've been sub-40 cases for months and sub-10 deaths.

That was in March when they could viably do so. These 2 exams, particularly Tort has to be held for those starting training contracts in a matter of weeks.

EAA123 · 24-07-2020 01:05PM

Hi

Does anyone that has passed tort have sample answers?

i can swap for anything in any other subject.

Thanks in advance.

Lcork23 · 24-07-2020 07:39PM

Just wondering if people think its ok to leave out Free movement of Establishment and capital for the exam?

lsheehaneire · 24-07-2020 09:10PM

Yeah i am. Very infrequent on exam grids.

iamanengine · 25-07-2020 10:25AM

Guys I would recommend putting any idea that they exams might be cancelled completely out of your head. It doesn't do you any good. It just distracts from your study and when they ultimately do go ahead all that worrying will have been for nothing.

Get the heads down, it's getting close to cram time

My favourite time of the year

ihatethesea · 25-07-2020 02:30PM

Does anybody have a copy of the recent March sitting of the EU Exam? I would be so very very grateful if someone could email me one? Any papers/answers someone needs in return I can swap for?

Debarramike137 · 25-07-2020 02:58PM

Anyone got a March Constitutional paper and recent tort please, can trade etc..PM me. thanks a lot

Anyone know where I could source sample answers for tort ? Finding it very hard

Apparently you can get them on adverts.ie. Didn't buy them so unfortunately not able to tell you much more about them.

MrAlex123 · 25-07-2020 08:17PM

High chance they will be moved online. The Kings Inn exams have been moved online and they are also in August; https://www.kingsinns.ie/cmsfiles/entrance-examination/Entrance-Exam-2020-Notice-for-Applicants-MH-23-June-2020.pdf
