Did anyone here view their paper? Was pretty useless I thought, but expected as much, didn’t have my hopes high. I viewed criminal and he just had a few ticks and then the mark. Anyone other examiner give any more notes?

Tort was the same, just the mark but at least you can see which questions the examiner thought was ok.

No just the overall mark out of 20 at the end of the question

I checked my Contract paper yesterday and both the internal and external examiner marked mine. I got a 46 but the external brought it down to 40! When do the external examiners step in or is it just a random selection of papers that they review? Was considering getting it remarked but having had the external examiner review it already it's probably not going to change?

And no reason written for that? Surely a record would need to be taken of why that decision was made. I've heard external is a random process.... That's just a guess though as absolutely no material whatsoever is provided by the law society on how they mark exams.... Will never understand why they cannot just publish an agreed marking scheme??

My 45 in Property was the only fail checked by the external examiner - maybe they check the exams that are close to a pass?

Random question but does it matter if you write in black or blue pen in the exams?

Hi all,

Apologies if this has already been dealt with but looking for some guidance.

I plan to sit tort, eu, equity and property in March 2019 and was wondering do I need to get new manuals or will my march 2018 manuals be ok?

Also, looking to sit a 5th exam also. Unsure whether to pick criminal or contract. I want to pick whichever one is easiest or less difficult haha.

Thanks in advance!

I didn't go to the viewing but the Law Society have emailed me a copy of my Equity paper. It was just marked by the internal examiner and there's literally not a mark or tick on my paper except the grade at the end. I suppose it's useful to know what marks you get in each question but that's about it.

can I ask when you requested a copy of the paper? I'm waiting on the law society to send mine, they told me they're doing it in order of when the request was received!

I requested it on 3rd December. Just received the email this morning.

Has anyone ever attended the UCD Constitutional Law Update in January, would it be useful for anyone sitting Constitutional Law next year?

samd123

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could give some advice on what they look for in the tort paper?

I passed my other 3 exams and had always done pretty well in tort in college but only got 40% in the exam and, as others have mentioned, when I viewed the script all that was on the paper was each question's individual mark.

I got 8 in each question so obviously the answers were below the standard required but I'm not entirely sure how, I came out thinking I'd done quite well.

Thanks

I was wondering the same, I have heard it is a good thing to go as the paper changes a lot and reflects what is going on and what is covered in this talk.
Any idea when it is on?

Does anyone know which of the following three has the least work load involved:

Constitutional, Company and Contract


I have to repeat Equity in March. I'm going to sit one other exam with it. People have said to do Contract but they're on back to back so I don't really want to do Contract, but if the workload is less than Company or Constitutional then I'd consider it.

Thanks, I booked an early bird ticket.

Guys, about the constitutional law conference, my FE1 lecturer in that subject couldn’t recommend going highly enough. He said it would be essential for the exam and he would recommend going even if it were on the day before the exam. So I’d say either going or getting notes from it would be a good bet if you’re sitting constitutional.

Thanks for that, I'm leaning towards company anyway, because I hate contract!

It has got to be contract even if they are back to back .

Does anyone have any idea how long this is? I know it starts at 2 pm, but just wondering what time it will go on until as I must book a train. Surely it won't be longer than 4 hours?
