- LS President, December 2020.

It’s difficult to feel valued or engaged with after yet another self-imposed deadline passes without explanation. Hoping for more engagement in 2021.

Hoping for even the most basic professional standards from the LS, as one would expect from an incredibly wealthy organisation, really is just self inflicting pain at this point.

The only hope I'll be allowing myself with the LS is that in the not too distant future their monopoly is relinquished over our qualifications (realistically, graduates in 5+ years time).

Can anyone tell me if an Essay Q came up on the AG or the President in the Constitutional Nov sitting?

Would anyone have a recent enough pdf Griffith College Constitutional manual ? Can swap as I have most of the others, thanks.

Does any one have 2019/2020 papers/sample answers for constitutional? I only have up until 2018

Constitutional November paper was:

• Essay on Standing - specifically jus tertii (with reference to Mohan v Ireland and P v Judges of CC)
• PQ on FO Expression (journalistic sources) I think it was mixed with a bit on exercise of judicial power/SOP
• Essay on Kerins v McGuinness and O'Brien v Clerk of Dail Eireann re SOP
• A PQ involving an Act of Oireachtas re fishing in Irish waters – (didn’t do this Q)
• Essay on Right to Earn a Livelihood
• PQ involving delegation of powers to a minister (I think! didn’t do that Q)
• PQ involving someone with mental health issues detained in hospital against his will - Q asked to advise on challenging the process which led to detention . (I answered on liberty, Art 40 applications & right to life but not sure if that was 100%)
• And the usual case note question

No question on AG/ President or Interpretation

Anyone else having trouble logging into their law society account? I’ve tried the last two days and it just keeps loading for me.. getting worried I won’t be able to get my results next week

It was the same for me yesterday! I just tried logging in on a different browser and it worked no problem

Curious if anybody knows do we access results via the account we applied for the October sitting in?

Any relatively recent grids going for property?

Where would I find my candidate ID? I was registered with the website separate to the FE-1 so I used that account to apply but I see now that there is a different account for FE-1 students which I hadn't noticed till now.

I’m not too sure then sorry. You could try logging in on the homepage of the website and then go to the FE1 page where results will be and you should still be logged in, but I’m not too sure!

We were supposed to get an email a week in advance of results, which presumably would have explained how to access them, but as usual no communication from them. They still haven’t even finalised a date which is so frustrating

Hello all. I was thinking a while back about how the Law Society is incredibly vague on actual data that pertains to the results of the exams such as pass rates and average results so I wanted to try and compile my own data set. Obviously, if I just use my own results it won't be much of a sample so I created a Google form in the hope some other people might be willing to share their results. You can find it below:

https://forms.gle/3XLbC4RGkmr9qNYH9

This form is totally anonymous and I cannot see any data beyond the result a person submits. I am hopeful that if I got about a hundred replies per subject it would be a decent sample and probably give us an indication of the curve that each subject uses.

The results of the survey will be shared on my own website and I'll obviously share them here when that happens. I would also appreciate it if this could be shared in any Facebook groups, group chats, or just with other people who sat the exams in November to try and get as many replies as possible.

If you have any questions just lemme know!

Hi, can anyone tell me if the application dates to write the March FE1's have closed?

Has anyone ever applied for a recheck in recent times with success? I have read experiences from other posters further back.

With our results coming up, sitting on the fence if the scenario arises where I may need to consider it and as of right now I'm on the fence if its worth it.

Some have been jumped up considerably to a pass. Which I'm not surprised about, they make so many errors with various things and are so unorganised. On the other hand forking over 115 quid for maybe 30 seconds of their time to recount marks (when they should have done it correctly for the fee paid the first time) doesn't sit well with me.

Hi I had Company Law rechecked March last year and it went from 41 to 52! I would definitely recommend getting a recheck. Each of my 5 questions I picked up an extra few marks in the recheck and it pulled me up to the pass rate.

the applications for March haven't opened yet! Presumably it will open this week after results

Thank you!! I've been on the site and couldnt see them, hoped I hadnt messed the deadline!! Appreciate your quick response.
