So many cases, so little time!!!!

I have not even begun to glance at criminal law and the case load from contract has my head twirling. I stay up until odd hours of the night and I can barely finish a subsection of my subject guide. Over 9 hours and no breakthrough, OH MY GOSH!!!!!

Maybe I am going about this the wrong way. I shall not fail even if it means no sleep for a year, onward must I trod. Peace.

things are always overwhelming when you just start...relax....law can be puzzling and indeed boring when you are unaccustomed to the manner in which it is written...Don't think about getting to the end point, think about where you are now when you sit to study/read for this degree.....I have faith in you

Good to see your words! i was beginning to wonder if you had deserted us in BlogLand. Thanks for the faith and the advice. These things you know but sometimes it hits home harder when you hear it from another source.

First of all I believe in you. When feeling the head twirls step back, breath and then re-focus.

Please let me know you and yours were spared from Dean. I am overly concerned with all I am hearing from the weather forecasts.

hi! I came across your blog when trying to find out when the london external LLB results are out. THought i'd drop a line to say- "don't worry"!! I've been where you are and at first the case load seems HUGE! You don't have to read every case-you'll go mad, specially with subjects like crim, ctt and tort. You won't have time to write it in the exam anyway! Just understand the principle behind each. Seriously, whatever the subject guide wants you to do is usually quite an exaggeration. Study smart: read just the really important cases fully though. Read the rest from the text book and note the commentaries about them. Contract law cases are pretty straight forward and i don't think i read a single one fully though (and i did alright at the exam :))-criminal may need more case reading, but even then, extracts should be fine. Proviso: this applies to first year only: second year subjects like land and trust needs more work and this is even more so in third year. Relax. Enjoy it. Studying law is challenging - but interesting. Good Luck!
