Thank you for confirming, I didn't think there would be anyone answering. Any more information? Screaming/angry disappointed and relieved all at the same time

LawStudent1234

Just got through to the Law soc it’s definitely cancelled she said they will be held at the next earliest opportunity and students who hadn’t originally applied for eu or tort can sit them in summer

L.E.D

Wish the would out on contract again too, I didn't sit it cause of this whole thing!

iamanengine

Absolutely sickened, after doing 3 exams and them going well felt I was really on roll to passing all 5. Now I don't know how to feel, so deflated by everything...having to do EU in the summer I could have dealt with but having both EU and Tort is brutal

Keep reading so your not starting from scratch again. See it like this with the extra time you'll be guaranteed to get remaining two, at least we will be getting the tort paper that was due tomorrow. It is an absolute disaster all the leave gone to waste but there are much bigger problems right now. Id be happy if they put them on in the month when all this has died down and more precautions in place but not from June il die.

Surely they’ll email us by 1pm?

iamanengine

Does anyone think when they have the exams in the summer that they will be on the day after one another? That would be so rough

When I spoke on the phone they said they were having an issue with their system that was delaying them or something to that effect

Thanks for this. I’m just worried about being sure it’s canceled without the official confirmation they defo told you this on the phone ? Then it’s cancelled

Yes confirmed by phone. I don't blame you for waiting for official confirmation though

Emails are in! Cancelled

Wow

Great shot at passing at least. Not ready to think what this means for my traineeship at the moment

bobsyourbrief

This was the correct decision to take from the start and I'm happy to see they've put our health and safety first.
I don't know what this means for people like myself who need to know when the next sitting is with regards to September - hopefully we get some clarity on that soon. Best of luck everyone.

What happens to us who are meant to do a pre seat

nmurphy1441

I’d prefer if they didn’t say they’ll give us a refund and just told us the new date!!! Have to apply again now!

jewels652

Although am not sitting tort I am happy they cancelled them. I sat Eu on Friday and since last night started to feel a bit off. A cough and blocked nose with headache is probably a normal cold but very hard not to be paranoid at the moment. I am trying to think we’re I have been the last few weeks and for the last two weeks I have been at home studying went out to supermarket to get some messages but that’s all. I sat constitution and Eu . But again hopefully is just a normal cold.

No doubt the incoming global recession that's definitely here post-COVID is going to seriously effect the availability of TC's with firms now.

Lower numbers and greater competition I'd imagine. It's going to get harder. Hope you guys already have TC's lined up!

rightytighty

Exhaustion is setting in now haha what a rollercoaster

channing90

Anyone here like me who’s in need of a job having completed 6 fe1s to date 4 passed and awaiting results of 2 more, looking for a job ? Seems a scary prospect not having a job with the possibility of a recession and the uncertainty at the moment, finding traineeship going to be tough

Guys, at the end of the day we will adapt. The firms will adapt for those who were relying upon results for traineeships etc. These were unprecedented times, but they will not be fatal. We got this far, we will go further still. Thanks for all the help and laughs along the way, shall see a good few of you back here when the new dates are announced. For now, get a nights sleep, think we have all earned it after the stress of the last few weeks.

Agree 100%, it has to be worked out and so it will be. For now let’s hope the country can get through this with as little hardship as possible!

So true it’s not the end of the world we can just resit it and go with it until then

Will the Tort re-sit be available to everybody? I have three left and I've never sat Tort. It would be handy to be able to do one exam and then leave 2 for October.

I’d say it’ll be just for the people that didn’t get to sit it yesterday! But I’m only guessing

yournerd

Anyone have any good notes for EU?

I spoke to the Law Society and they confirmed that it will be open to anyone who wants to sit it. No dates as yet though.

lawDani

law society will have dates of rescheduled sitting by this Friday 20th March

nmurphy1441

Thinking of sitting EU when the extra dates are released!!! Can anyone give me some sort of guidance as to what topics to cover?

lawDani

Hi All,

is the rescheduled sitting going to just be Tort and EU?

Or will this be a full exam sitting?

thinking of doing Constitutional on its own in the Spring if i have the option. haven't began study yet so advise welcome.

It may be worth sending an email and ask the law society. I have a friend who didn’t sit constitutional as she was being cautious because she has a condition that compromises her inmune system. So although at that point the law society were still holding the exams there were people who didn’t show up because they have to think of their health.

ah thank you for the input. i hope your friend is ok...
the lady on the phone said it may be more or less an Extra sitting. id say we find out on Friday anyway.

would it be illogical to attempt constitutional in two months?

You said they’d know by Friday in a previous message. Is that a guess or were you told this?

I think two months should be enough time for one exam you can squeeze another exam and you should be fine.
When you spoke to the lady in the education centre did you ask her if the dates to be release was for all the 8 exams or just Eu and tort?
