I was at 20 topics for Cons before I cut it to 16. The questions are so mixed too so you end up having little tag alongs on the main topics. It’s like Criminal Law on steroids for the mixing! What have you left out? The major ones I’ve left out are Religion, Association & Assembly, Interpretation although I kinda use a sliding scale when studying so the likes of Locus Standi wouldn’t be getting as much attention as say The Family. I don’t know what you think about the case note Q but I’m looking at that for a guaranteed Q. The course is that long that surely it will work with us for that Q.

Constitutional is my final FE1 and if I pass I’m off to Blackhall but I swear doing it after something like Company is like day and night - twice the amount of topics to study and mixed at that whereas company is just so clean.

rickmatt wrote: » Very same, so hard to break down in comparison to Company (I sat yesterday too) I'm thinking covering a few essay areas like - Const. Interpret. - Pres - AG - Due Course of Law - Referendum law - Equality Then have a good general knowledge of the rest for Pq's Leaving out Case note q, don't know how to focus that Otherwise I'm leaving out Findings of Unconst., Remedies, Right of Unborn, Inviolability of Dwelling, Association Any tips for what else to cover on essays, as the exam format is 4 essay 3 pq's and a case note - I feel covering the essays is a good chance of getting the pass
JayFE1 wrote: » How did Company go for you? Yeah, I see where you’re coming from but I do have to say that AG / President and Interpretation are essentially the one question. They’re definitely due a run however it’s a bit like Schrödinger's cat - at this moment in time all possibilities are simultaneously alive but on the day only one may exist. I’m just saying from your 6 topics the absolute maximum you would get is 4 (TDC, Referendum and Equality plus X from the trio above). I’ve done The Family, Children, President / AG, Referendums, Trial in Due Course, Livelihood / Property, Int. Relations, NDD, Duty to Give Reasons, Equality, Privacy, FoE inc Journalist Sources, Right to Die, Access to Courts, Fair Procedures, Bodily Integrity. I also have other topics like Locus Standi mixed into past questions e.g. it came up with Int relations one sitting. In terms of focusing a case note - you’re talking 1-2 lines on the facts, the arguments advanced and then the main legal principle that came from the case. Then what it affected e.g. if your case note is JC then when finished talk about it overturning Kenny and so on. When I done EU, I wasn’t bovvered with it but I feel it could be a god send in Constitutional. Imagine getting something like McGee in a case note. Aw, man, that would be a right touch! Aside from what you’ve mentioned, Article 42A, Uncons evidence, NDD (although the last sitting got one) would be something to look at for an essay. There was a general essay on Trial in Due Course in one of the past sittings that would be horrible if we got it - maybe my sense of foreboding is strong or maybe it’s not but I did prepare for that worst case. 2020 be like that.

Thanks for the heads up with regards Interpretation and PRes/AG, I'll take it on board. I take it you are doing the Case Note Q? Do you mind telling me what cases you are covering for the case note? It does seem a bit easier than EU but I feel it can be a but random all the same.
Jeremiah25 wrote: » Constitutional case note q is probably the trickiest to predict on the course. I think the same case has only come up twice on one occasion. Here are some recent ones that would be worth knowing, the examiner does tend to include recent significant decisions: Kerins/O'Brien/Mohan/Zalewski (vs. WRC and also vs. Adjudication Officer)/Jordan/Simpson/Rowland/McKelvey/Nolan. Hope its of some help
Lawlaw12 wrote: » Thanks a mil for sharing that! I just have Zalewski down once (challenging both the order made in their WRC case and the constitutionality of WRC), do you know is Zalewski v WRC just an appeal of Zalewski v Adjudication Officer? Sorry if that's a really stupid question, my brain is absolutely fried
