It was my understanding that proof of intention to cause serious injury is not secure a conviction for attempted murder? Would you mention it and then say that there is no proof of intention to kill so a charge would not likely be successful?

From what i can gather from this thread: We cannot use rough paper to draft/plan, We cannot go to the bathroom during the exam, We will not have to give a walk around of the room before the exam but our eye movements will be monitored by proctorio software, invigilation will be automated, We get an extra half hour, i have done the mock and the system seems grand - bit of a nightmare not having a place to scribble rough work but it's better than waiting in purgatory like we had been0. i know how poor the Law Society have been over the last couple of months so i figured it was best to clear is up here - i've gone through a fair bit of the thread and couldn't find answers to everything. i hope someone can help and that everyone is well!

If anyone has any suggestions or would like to share what they're covering I would be so grateful - I am doing 4 subjects and running out of time to cover things.

I think the best approach is to just write a small amount on each issue. Really just mentioning the key cases/statutes. That also means you don't need to be studying every single case on each topic, so it should help you to cut down your study notes. I tried to study every topic for criminal, but just in very basic detail. Realistically as there are so many issues in each question you may only find yourself writing a couple of paragraphs on any given topic so there's no point in learning pages and pages of notes - just the absolute key cases, maybe a recent case, the statutes, and if there's an LRC report that can be good to throw into your conclusion. In one or two of the questions I answered I didn't address all of the issues in the question and then in hindsight after the exam they seemed like such obvious and important issues to address, but I still passed even without discussing them. That's not to say that you'll be able to just pick out one or two issues per question and ignore the rest and expect to pass, but there is definitely some leniency there. The examiner is a really nice marker and will give you marks wherever he can so just try to make sure you're naming the key cases and relevant statutes and you'll get marks for them. I also found for criminal you don't need the facts of the cases, just what they decided.
