Revision 2008

Introduction.

There are a number of reasons law students perform below their potential in coursework and examinations. In addition to difficulties with understanding some of the more complex rules and principles of law, many students are uncertain about what their examiners are looking for.

Promoted by Consilio, the QED Law revision lectures will address these issues. The most important topics in each subject area will be explained and effective methods of answering law questions will be demonstrated.

"I will certainly recommend these seminars to fellow students for next year. They have been invaluable." Angela Dack, LLB, University of Essex [Public Law, Law of Contract, Criminal Law and Land Law]

The revision lectures are for students on university LLB and GDL / CPE courses who require:

  • clarification of the key issues and most frequently examined topics in the core law subjects
  • advice on technique in answering problem questions in law exams
  • guidance as to what examiners are looking for
"The revision seminar was the perfect complement to the final stages of exam preparation. I think we all emerged ready to tackle our revision with increased confidence and enthusiasm. I thoroughly recommend it." Simon Ramsden, GDL, BPP Law School
Lecturers Our lecturers are subject specialists and have many years experience in teaching and examining on university LLB and CPE/GDL courses.


Open to all students on university LLB and GDL / CPE and ILEX courses

The courses were brilliant; energetic and focused and got me on the right track." Joanie Solaini, LLB, Southampton University

"Thanks again for organising the seminars - I found the three I attended ( Criminal Law, Law of Trusts and Land ) extremely worthwhile and excellent value for money." Deborah Mayo, College of Law, GDL
"I found the revision course for Criminal Law immensely helpful. It helped me understand what examiners are looking for. The tutors are extremely knowledgeable (obviously) and they teach the subject to you in such a way that you can actually retain, in that overcrowded brain of yours, whole tranches of the subject weeks later rather than forgetting everything the next day!" Matthew Lawrence, LLB, Open University
