FE1 Exam Thread (Read 1st post!) NOTICE: YOU MAY SWAP EXAM GRIDS

Definitely not. Think it makes a more rounded answer. He might not give you an extra mark but certainly won't deduct.

i mentioned 231 in the conclusion just to round it up... think he'll dock mark for that since its not in the q?

Yeah its usually 6 weeks from the last Friday of the exam/last exam.

Last sitting it was 7 weeks after the last Friday for some reason. So either 3rd of May or the week after I reckon.

Is this enough? They seem to be the big ones

First timer and hope this is not a silly question but do we bring the form of identification into the exam along with the most recent letter from the Law society with our Candidate ID and do we keep them on our desks while doing the exam?

Ok so just to clarify sorry - before or at the fact, tried as principle under 7(1)? And after the fact accessory under 7(4)?

Yes, they checked my id and letter when I was signing the attendance sheet.

yup you could definitely pass with that I reckon.

I talked about SLP a bit in the problem question with Sean on consequences of incorporation...

I did the same thing, went on a tangent about slp . Dont think he was looking for that though. Oh well

Just trying to get defences (criminal) into my head, is there any particular ones I should focus on or should I know them all??? There is so much....

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi guys what is everyone doing for property? Really want to cut a lot out for this one as I feel its a bit easier than others. Would I have enough in doing succession, adverse possession, finding, registration, easements and mortgages? Also can anyone explain to me the situation with prescription? Is it just the pre 2009 position now? v confused!

Thats exactly what im doing except im not doing mortgages but co ownership. I say we should be fine like my guess is 2x Succession, 1x Adverse possesin 1x easements then a toss up of the other 3??

True but property is like the only one where its always the same i.e succession... so they cant just change that? then like land reg is another certain id say going by the grid... easements might only be a maybe if they wanna spice it up a bit ive a feeling it might not come up.

I really don’t know how I’m going to pass criminal. Is there anything I should focus on? I have covered a bit but not half of it yet

For Criminal, going by the legislation would an implement in the anus be aggravated sexual assault as opposed to S4 rape? Does that makes sense?


Aggravated sexual assault.

3.—(1) In this Act “aggravated sexual assault” means a sexual assault that involves serious violence or the threat of serious violence or is such as to cause injury, humiliation or degradation of a grave nature to the person assaulted.

(2) A person guilty of aggravated sexual assault shall be liable on conviction on indictment to imprisonment for life.

(3) Aggravated sexual assault shall be a felony.

Rape under section 4 .

4.—(1) In this Act “rape under section 4 ” means a sexual assault that includes—

(a) penetration (however slight) of the anus or mouth by the penis, or

(b) penetration (however slight) of the vagina by any object held or manipulated by another person., am I right in thinking any implement (sorry for this grimness) put into the anus

Does anyone know if I hand in the property acts before criminal tomorrow can I just complete them after the exam? Or si there particular times etc. And also anyone who's taken an FE1 exam before in the red cow, is there usually enough parking spaces?

I think at this stage focus on offences against the person, particularly sexual offences, property offences and have even two cases for each defence. Good starting point for problem questions

The legislation office will be open from 9-1 so you can leave it in before or after. Whichever suits.

Yeah there's plenty of parking.

Yeah hopefully it's finding, succession X 2, adverse possession and registration. V doable

Very rattled after Company and worried about Property now.

Have:

Finding
Equity and Notice
Land Reg
Succession
Co-Ownership
Easements
Adverse Possession
Family Property

Is that enough? Half thinking of trying to add mortgages or landlord and tenant law. Really don't want to have to do the latter though.

Right so anyone think it's possible to pass on 3 decent qs and two very dodgy ones haha? Actually feel so baffled by that company exam - no normal director duties, restrictions, shareholder protection, share transfer, SLP...just don't understand it are they trying to make us fail?

Very possible. I sat Ocober 2017 which was a shambles and took 2 of my questions straight from the legislation

I have the same minus equity and notice and add in licenses. I have a very basic note done for mortgages also but I doubt I would be able to answer a question on it, it's more for an emergency situation! Hoping it'll be enough!

Constitution

What are people covering? After hearing about the first two exams it very nervewrecking as to what to cover.
Does anybody know what came up in the last exam or what should be expected.

I am trying to cover as much as possible to start revising condensed notes first thing in the morning

Also due trial I think il leave out is that silly. Covering a wide range.

I'm terrified as well, the sample answers have so much detail about everything and every case, theres so much caselaw.

I'm covering:

Property Rights
Religious Freedom
Personal rights
Sovreignity (just knowing Crotty/Pringle)
Freedom of Speech
Unconstitutionality
Const. Interpretation
JR (vaguely)
Family
Due Course
Separation of Powers
Attorney General

Like i'll probably have to start culling topics somewhere - it's so content heavy

What are other people thinking?

Anyone know the sentence for burglary? Cant seem to find it anywhere

Vegetarian2017

I know!! Panic like when is too much too much ..Nobody could learn the whole
course. I really would like to be in a position to pass this, even if it is a really tough paper.

Does anyone know what came up on the last paper in terms of reliables the president /sop/ag/interp?

That’s reassuring! I could remember tiny bits about the doctrine of UV but my god not a single case for the S238 and S239! Copying down the legislation haha
