    I know most people got letters today but given that indoor gatherings were restriced to 50 people this evening, are there likely to be further changes to location / rules about when to arrive etc?

    Indoor gatherings have been restricted to 50 for the last two months. I’m assuming they worked on the basis that they can only have 50 people in each pod and meeting. I haven’t got my letter but I’m assuming it tells you where to go or puts people in groups. I’m sure there’ll be clear signage at the venues however and people there to tell you

    Hey folks, does anyone have sample answers for any of the more recent Tort papers that they can send me. I have really good notes for EU/Tort/Contract/Cons and Property that I can swap. Thanks

    Sent you a message!

    I'd reckon they were working on the basis that phase 4 would have been given the green light today and indoor gatherings increased to 100. Defo chasing their tails now making 'pods'.

    Yeah I definitely think they were hoping for phase 4. But no matter what they had to make pods of some size

    Half thinking it could end up being cancelled but there’s so many people relying on it to go ahead it’d be very disappointing.

    Just have to stick with studying and let them sort out what they’re going to do. They’ve two venues already so they had some sort of a plan to spread people around

    Hi all, not sure if it's a corkist thing 😉 but have anybody in Cork got "the letter" re exams next week. Could anyone from the pale let us poor culchies know what the letter says in general. Thanks.

    They are probably alphabetically done. I'm "s" .
    Yeah hopefully we will all get them tomorrow. Very hard to see how" physically" the exams will go ahead in October.

    Really hoping they don't get cancelled. Considering people won't be 'mixing' and social distancing will be possible I think we might be ok?

    But either way I hope the law society will clarify tomorrow to avoid any added stress/uncertainty. Already a bit of a joke letters getting sent out so late with new venues and procedures - I don't understand their aversion to email and technology in general.

    Yeah every other exam went online - barrister entrance exam and chartered accountants exams.

    Although tbf online exams do not work for everyone as there’s loads of people with bad internet and all.

    My cork location is Rochestown Park! Really dreading the face mask, as a glasses wearer it’s nothing short of a nightmare. Nothing at all against face mask wearing - I’m 100% on board but it will make the exam that bit more difficult and I think it really would have been a good idea to go online for the exams.

    If we have seating 2m apart why do we have to wear masks. We all signed forms saying we dont have it. I've taken 14 days off work so I'm not coming into contact with a soul and I don't want to wear a mask for 3 hours when I'm going to be sweating like f*ck anyway.

    I wear them at work for 8 hours and sure they're uncomfortable, and I could wear them for 3 hours but I am going to be unbelievably distracted by it during the exam, constantly itching my beard, pulling it up or down as it moves around on my face...Just a general pain in the backside. Don't see why we have to wear them if we socially distance.

    Because I ran out of colors pretty quickly with EU I have used symbols on some tabs so for example I have used a pink tab for all the institutions. Plain pink for the parliament and then a pink tab with zig zag for the commission and a pink tab with horizontal lines for the courts etc.... I hope this is ok ??

    No, I marked a single dot on some pink tabs as ran out of colours and they snipped them off before the exam. plain tab or they will remove. Fell foul of this myself last October.

    Yeah does that mean that we don't have to hand in our Blackstones beforehand?

    I presume so. If we are hand it in the day before it's just creating more social interaction.

    It is obvious why legislation has to be submitted the day before so it can be santised.I think online exams with a time extension are a much better option than 3 hours in a mask.

    I wouldn't want someone flicking through and breathing on my Blackstone Articles after flicking through 100 others. As far as I'm aware you can't sanitise paper without wetting it!

    EU law

    Can someone please clarify:

    Indistinctly applicable rule (indirectly discrimatory)
    Can these rules be justified either on the basis of Art 36 TFEU, or pursuant to the mandatory requirements in the general interest.

    Or is it just the mandatory requirements?

    I don’t think it says anything but not allowing us to rehydrate when already sweating from stress and exams would be borderline inhumane!

    This must be your first rodeo with the Law Society. Borderline inhumane is par for the course lol.

    I would say they will allow it. Rules have always stated no drinks etc in the exam hall, have never seen it enforced. Once the distance is being kept it should be ok, fairly safe to say not allowing candidates to rehydrate during an exam in August could be a step to far.
