Hey guys...

For criminal I'm reading notes now feeling I've either too much or missing something?

Assault
Intoxication
Sexual offences
Classification of crimes/courts of jurisdiction
Theft/robbery/burglary
Murder/manslaughter
Omissions
Provocation/duress
Attempt
Insanity/diminished responsibility

Note these have to be learned yet 😖

Hiya! I'm those ones but without classification of crimes

I'm also doing arrest, detention, bail and legal rep

Ok might give a look at them too thanks. Surely that's enough dribble to secure a pass...

For criminal, if you define something in one question that may come up more than once, say murder or attempt, can you just refer to it again in a 2nd question without defining it, providing a case example, etc.

I know that things won't usually come up twice, but just in case

Yeah of course, you'd only be wasting precious time otherwise! I've always done it and just referred back to the question and paragraph I had previously discussed it in.

Good luck to everyone starting tomorrow and over the next week and a bit!

7/8 done, last is EU. You'll get there lads, it's worth it when you're on this side. Can't wait for Blackhall, EU depending! 😱😄

Have you contacted the law society? Ring them to find out if your application has gone through. They might be able to fit you in even if it hasn't.

I had the same problem a week or so ago.I rang them and they confirmed I was in the list. I did get a letter a few days later though

Hmmmmmmm....???

Why are all the articles in my copy of Blackstones numbered differently to the article numbers in my lecture slides????


Curious, and unnerving

XxMCRxBabyxX

Good luck to everyone sitting the exams. I hippie that they go well! :-)

Okay criminals,

looking forward to hearing how you all got on today

Thought criminal was a fair paper?
PQ 1 - assault S3 offence and explain classifications of a crime - summarily/indictment difference
2- attempt with duress
3- DPP 4 scenarios (assault/robbery, harassment,property damage and public order offence, contempt of court / perverse the course of justice)
4-Intoxicaton/manslaughter
5- sexual offences- rape/minor?
6- strict liability essay
7- false inprisonment /incitement
8-arrest/detention/right to silence/bail
Few other little bits like failure at act etc but seemed a good paper : )
Now just 7 more this sitting : (

I wanted to slap those Q5 boys. So many offences!!

HappySlappy123

Any word on how the poster who hadn't received confirmation of their application got on with regard to being allowed to do the exam? I've procrastinated brilliantly all morning due to the suspense of waiting to find out!

(On a serious note, hope it all went well)

Oh my god. Accessories At and After, sexual assault, rape and consent all wrapped up in one giant mess of a question.

I unfortunately picked all the questions where there were multiple strands to acknowledge. My answers were so unstructured...I hope he goes nice!!!

I threw in common design abandonment and false imprisonment for good measure...

I somehow decided the exam was over at 12. So I only wrote two pages for one of my answers - the assault manslaughter q and was belting through the advise on 4 offences question. Was so confused when he said "1 minute to leave the exam hall". Felt like such a tit!

Hoping he's nice too! I'd two good ones, one decent and two vague disasters.

Criminal was really nice! I messed up the property offence in Q3 stupidly but mentioned about the traffic obstruction! And i think question 4 was about the defence of provocation too no? The "whole picture" needs to be considered..? Intoxication could not have been a defence so spoke about thin skull rule and voluntary (assault) manslaughter ?

in q 4 I threw in provocation as my intox part was iffy as I didn't think it was a defence to murder just something to be taken into account when sentencing, but some guy told me after it was all about basic and and specific intent arrrrrgh....2 parts of q8 weren't great either as he was charged with non fatal offences not under the offences against the state act!

oh well on to equity! ðŸ˜

Ah, didnt do False Imprison but did mention nothing short of total abandonment with positive steps. I spent 1 hour accidentally on my first question and spent the rest of the time playing catch up and failing miserably....let's hope we've done enough!

I did voluntary manslaughter, the defences of self-defence/ reasonable force in relation to an anticipated attack and voluntary intoxication and threw in a tiny bit of crime of basic intent...and LRC recommendation that low level violence be prosecuted as assault not MS when completely unforeseen (DPP-v-Byrne)...thinking now I got it wrong!

This might be a nice addition to a question on vicarious liability for those doing Tort. Just came up on my Facebook.
