Thank you so much this is very helpful! Also a non-law background and teaching myself EU so I’m happy to hear people have got by even with cutting a lot of topics 😂
Same as yourself and I've also covered the Preliminary Reference Procedure and Enforcement Procedure for a PQ just in case. I can't really tell if that is cutting it fine tbh, State Aid virtually never comes up so the only thing we'd really be cutting is Competition? I might be naive though!
Sat it in March and passed first time (non-law background). I studied:-
Eu Institutions
General Principles / Fundamental Rights
Direct/Indirect Effect and MS liability
Judicial Review
FMOG x2
FMOW & Citizenship
The scrapping of a mergers Q if I was very desperate.
I had 5 questions and that was with Citizenship not appearing on the paper. Perhaps just got very lucky but I went through every year of the exam grid and always could have answered 5 questions based off just this.
I’m leaving out competition law… I’m definitely cutting it quite fine with topics I’m covering:
-institutions
-sources of law
-general principles
-Impact on MS legal systems (Direct/indirect effect)
-member state liability
-judicial review
-free movement of goods
-free movement of services, establishment and workers
-citizenship
-equality
I think this is the bare minimum you could cover to get 5 questions on the paper from looking at exam grids.
What else are you covering? Hopefully we can escape competition law!
I was considering undertaking the constitutional revision class but wasn't sure if it would be worth it. Thanks for the rec!
Hi guys
I have Companies Act book for sale 50€
I also have Griffith College manuals for contract equity EU constitutional and criminal for 40€ each ONO. The manuals are from 2016/17
PM me!
Anyone have any advice for EU Law with regards to studying Competition Law? I know its an almost guaranteed topic but its so broad, is it possible to leave out or would that be unwise?
On that basis, would anyone be able to provide/point me in the direction of where I might get these reports? Have plenty of material for most of the subjects and more than willing to trade
The best approach towards company, is look at his examiners reports and do up your sample answers and learn them off.
His questions are repetitive and he sets out exactly in his examiners reports how he wants them answered.
I don't have an up to date exam grid . I don't think people are too fussed about an exam grid for criminal as he takes such a broad approach across the course that you just cant pick out any trends. Know your offences, defences, murder/manslaughter, comp of courts, class of crimes, right to silence, presumption of innocence, sexual offences, property offences inside out and take an outlined approach to offences against the state, public order offences etc.
As u cant bring in any legislation into this exam try to incorporate the act when your learning off your cases ie... Jason BROWN from no 12 burgled Collins house etc.... i know then that s12 is got to with burglary
if u get what i mean it helps as u have to remember so much different acts/sections for this exam
You can do a one-day revision course with Law School and the handout they give is great!
Thank you for this Katie!
It's just mainly to see the most relevant cases to I can narrow them down per topic. I haven't looked at the reports before you suggested and they look great, thank you. Would you potentially have an up to date exam grid for criminal. Again, I can send over anything I have in return!
Thank you
Does anyone have a copy of the Tort paper from the last sitting (Spring 2022)? Thanks!
Anyone on here doing company? Finding it really hard to wrap my head around don’t know where to start
The constitutional revision course is on next weekend with lawschool would highly recommend doing it. (im currently doing the full course with her)Maura Kelly the lecturer is top of her game. You get a revision guide also.
Company law the questions are repetitive, it is just a case of doing up sample answers using his examiner reports and learning them off.
What sample answers are you looking for? His examiners reports are the best out of all of them and are sample answers in themselves.
Is it sample answers for the typical qs that come up ie comp of courts, bail etc...?
I would recommend looking over previous exam scripts and see how others approached the pqs that have loads of different topics in them
I would really recommend doing the lawschool revision class think its about 50euro, it is on next weekend. Val Corbett is the lecturer and he is honestly brilliant. You get a revision document with it stating how to pick out the issues and how to answer qs. He also ranks them in importance to least importance. I didnt do tort law in college as i have a business degree and i am very confident going into this exam the only thing im worried about is getting memory loss in the mean time hahaha... Spotting the issues in the q is not an issue with me as Val has given us some brilliant tips for recognising the issues.
Does anyone have any advice on studying for the Tort exam? Finding it really overwhelming and having difficulty even identifying some of the issues in the past exam papers. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hi All,
Can anyone with up to date criminal law exam sample answers please share them with me? I'm happy to share anything I have in return!
Would anyone have the March 2022 paper for criminal? Thanks!
DM me your email - your page is on private! ill send you one.
Hey I was wondering if anyone has done the Griffith one day exam prep courses? I'm struggling a bit in my constitutional and company study and wondered if they'd be any help
Thank you!! The help is appreciated as I sit here on a beautiful afternoon reading my Contract manual, wanting to be doing anything else right now except studying ;)
Does anyone have exam scripts for Contract law? I have a company one if it is any good to people.
Seen a few people looking for equity bits so I've decided to make a google doc. This doc has everything you need to pass x3 (those people fleecing their notes on fb would have a field day with this one lol).
This is free to access, just DM me your email for the link.
In return, I would really appreciate any good sample answers/notes for literally any other subject (not Griffith ones as I have all of them).
These exams are expensive and hard, I hope this will make things easier for someone.
Thank you so so much, really appreciated
This is my exam script from the last sitting. I got 57% and this was the breakdown:
Q1 - 11
Q2 - 12
Q3 - 13
Q4 - 13
Q5 - 8
i would advice doing the law school revision class its 2hrs long, think its 50euro and think they are next week, just to give you some guidance on what to cover etc
You have more than enough time.... you just need to be productive and disciplined for the next couple of weeks and you should be fine
Neg gen principles, causation, vicarious liability, defamation, trespass to the person, land based torts and damages
Although Criminal does feel so overwhelming and I thought I was v unprepared, I ended up doing better in it than other subjects I felt confident for! So I wouldn’t throw in the towel too easily. The main thing is to cover a large range of topics but it isn’t necessary to cover them in a lot of detail. He is also a really nice marker- I answered a 4 part q without having covered 2 of the parts and he was so generous in his marking that I got away with it. Even if you miss a small issue of a q he doesn’t seem to punish you too badly.
I ended up just doing:
Actus Reus and Mens Rea, Complicity, Homocide, NFOAP, Sexual Offences, Inchoate, Defences (not all- look at predictions for these), Offences Against Property (again not in huge detail) and I was fine! I can send you notes/my paper if you need :)
