Hey, what are people revising for the EU paper in March? Any predictions? Thanks in advance

AlexTG356 · 26-01-2021 1:19pm

If your grade goes up to a pass on a recheck, do you get your recheck fee back?

26-01-2021 1:43pm

Anyone manage to source any sample answers for Constitutional? Panicking at this stage!

2. Separate Legal Personality/Advantages & Disadvantages of Incorporation
3. Corporate Authority
4. Director's Duties/Types
5. Shareholder Rights and Remedies
6. Corporate Borrowing/Charges
7. Winding Up
8. Distribution of Assets upon Winding Up

Any suggestions on other topics to cover?
Thanks!

I’d throw in examinership/receivers - receivers came up last March b it it’s sort and easy to learn

Thanks everyone for your patience. I haven't quite worked out the bugs with the software I'm using to make a full breakdown of the results yet. Effectively I'm trying to do the following:

Mean results
Pass rate
Correlate the exams people have taken and trying to work out what combinations of subjects are most successful

In the meantime I have uploaded very raw data to the link below so everyone can see a bar graph that shows the results and the distribution of same.

I think 4 subjects in 4 months would definitely be doable! Especially if you're a law graduate so you're not starting from scratch

Thanks for the input! Checking to see if this would be overly optimistic

examsfe12021 · 26-01-2021 5:31pm

does anyone know what topics came up on the equity paper in November?

FE1Hopefully1 · 26-01-2021 6:11pm

There was a note question with the rule in strong v bird, Hastings- bass and one other and you did two Problem q on estoppel Problem q re undue influence Essay in trusteeship Problem question on donatio mortis causa Problem q on charitable trusts and cy pres

I can’t remember the other two but I think there was a specific performance question

Coopie · 26-01-2021 6:52pm

What do people think will come up for Constitutional?

lawgrad49 · 27-01-2021 11:16am

In 'pre Covid times' what was the general timeframe for the Past Papers & Examiner reports to be released after that sitting and available on Law Soc website?

I assume the examiner writes his report shortly after correcting all scripts...given November results are now out would the examiner reports not be done and easily put up on the website for sale? Do they wait for rechecks or something?

Wondering is there any chance we get the recent reports before the March sitting.

P.s. Trying to get my hands on the Nov Company Law Paper if anyone has sourced it? Thanks!

They can be slow at the best of times. I have faith they will be out before the next exams.

Matheson are still open for applications for TC but not sure what year they are recruiting for

Philip lee are recruiting for 2023 currently

But also keep an eye on the law society website for vacancies smaller firms recruit there and a lot of their internships are to move into training contracts

FE1s2021 · 28-01-2021 11:29am

Has anyone received a copy of their script yet ? Was hoping to have it by now

Easons or any local book store most are open I think.

Is it just if it goes to a pass or if it goes up at all do you get refunded?

No , nothing.

examsfe12021 · 28-01-2021 3:39pm

Anyone else deterred from paying the cost of recheck before seeing their scripts? - dont really want to pay over 100 euro and then see my script and realise it wasnt worth the recheck..
