The criminal law seminar, combined with my revision, was very helpful indeed. I took the exam on Friday and was surprised at how much I could remember from the course. Overall I would rate it as an excellent course. Darren Wadley, LLB, Nottingham Trent University (2009)

I thought the Criminal Law session was brilliant; if BPP had taught all year the way you did, I would not have been as worried about the exam as I was before the seminar. I appreciated the way you used a range of approaches to demonstrate your points. I also very much appreciated the emphasis you put on answering problem questions. My only regret was not finding out about QED Law sooner. Matt Green, GDL, BPP Law School (2009)

With the help of Norman Baird and the QED Revision course I went from a guaranteed fail to a comfortable pass in just five days. All the tutors were polite, patient and extremely knowledgeable. I would reccommend QED to any student at whatever level. Dominic Haywood, GDL, College of Law (2009)

The QED seminars were very useful indeed and helped me get a clear understanding of all subjects covered. Eleni Simillidi, LLB, University of Leicester (2009)

Norman, my exams went very well thanks to QED. I have been studying the CPE by distance learning for the past 2 years and as I work as well I just never find enough time to do all the reading necessary. Last summer I found the exams quite tough but this year I did so much better and was very well prepared and much calmer and more confident going in thanks to the QED revision sessions. I wish I had known about them for last year. I will definitely pass the word on. Margaret Fitzgerald, GDL, Middlesex University

The Criminal Law Seminar helped me engage with the subject in a way that made it seem more manageable. The way in which it dealt with the topic whilst getting you to envisage exam answers was good. Having notes separately so you don't have to take notes helps the students engage with the concept on the day, rather than keeping your head in your pad.

The EU lecturer made what seems like a daunting subject much more do-able, and his demeanor and excellent communication skills helped get the messages across. Elliot Tubbs, LLB, University of Sussex. (2009)

I thoroughly recommend the QED revision lectures for anyone studying for the LLB and related courses. I am a first year student at Hull University and had a thoroughly enjoyable couple of days. The Criminal Law lecture was very informative and reinforced the knowledge I have learnt in my university lectures. Norman Baird made the lectures fun and memorable. Fiona De La Cour, LLB, University of Hull (2009)

Thank you once again for providing this much-needed service. See you next year......! Fizza Kadiwal, LLB, University of London (External) (2009)

“I was extremely happy with the QED revision seminar. The notes were well-structured and clear, and the seminar itself was extremely useful. I was slightly apprehensive about spending 60 quid on it before I went, but found it great value for money! As I say, the notes were good, and the advice on planning the answer was also good. However, for me, the thing that really helped was getting an insight into the way law lecturers'/examiners' minds work” James Coupe, LLB, Open University (2009)

I found the land law revision session extremely useful. Very focused and well taught. It was very practical and put a structure on the whole course and how everything related to each other and gave me confidence to tackle the revision. I would definitely recommend it. Public was also very useful and interesting and again helped pull a few things together. Fran Wild, GDL, College of Law (2009)

The EU lecturer was very effective at sifting out the most important facts and cases from a lot of information. He was very methodical and thorough, and obviously very interested in his subject which was reflected in the high teaching quality. Ingrid Featherstone, GDL, Kingston University (2009)

Thanks so much, you gave very good advice on ways to approach Criminal Law exams. Very useful thank you. The notes were very thorough and helpful and good for consolidation. Ingrid Featherstone, GDL, Kingston University (2009)

I attended the land law revision lecture today and have to say it was the most comprehensible 5 hours of law I have ever sat through. What looked like an impenetrable subject was broken down into a formula that can be used to answer all manner of land law question. I am now looking forward to the exam rather than fearing it! James Heron, GDL, University of Westminster (2009)

Thank you ever so much for the Land Law and EU Law seminars, I found them both extremely useful, and do not think I would be adequately prepared for my exams without them. The Land Law seminar helpfully cleared up confusing principles and concepts putting them in understandable blocks, and the EU seminars covered a lot of relevant materials and cases which will be of great help when I come to do my exams. James Lindley, LLB, University of Exeter (2009)

I found the Law of Contract seminar extremely helpful and it fulfilled all that I hoped to gain from the day. It helped me clear up some of the tricky details of this subject which now means I find a lot of it pieces together much better. It was clear and concise and to the specifications of my course. It was helpful to be taught by a different lecturer to my one at Reading. Jessica Connelly, LLB, University of Reading (2009)

I attended the Law of Trusts, Tort and Land revision seminars and found them excellent. I would recommend them to every law student as they really give you confidence to tackle the exams. Jennifer Lowe, GDL, Holborn College (2009)

I found the Criminal law revision seminar very useful and has provided excellent guidance in approaching topics in this subject for exams. The seminar helps you focus on how to answer questions in a concise, logical, and organised manner. I recommend the QED criminal revision seminar to all law students as it is definitely value for money. Jenny Madalura, LLB, Croydon College (2009)

I thought the Criminal law session was really interesting. I liked the lateral approach - it really helped me get a bigger picture of the whole area. In lectures we tend to learn in bitty stages so it just feels like a list. But your session helped me connect the dots. Jessica Arczynski, LLB, Kings College London (2009)

The Criminal Law revision materials were amazing; a good reference guide for checking my written work with good advice about tackling problem questions. Joseph Appiah, LLB Law with Business, University of Brighton (2009)

Contract Law: The professor explained really well how to approach problem questions in general. The notes were sufficiently detailed and have helped with reducing my revision work load by highlighting necessary information.

Criminal Law: I found all the materials provided for this lecture exceptionally good. I especially liked the guidance booklet on how to approach questions in the exam. The criminal notes - just like the contract notes - were extremely helpful because of their simplicity and detail.

Tort Law: Once again the materials provided were good and useful. I enjoyed the lecture as its simplicity made me realise that I would be more than capable of writing a good answer to the considered problem questions. I am confident that I now have embedded in my brain how to approach a problem question on negligence and what issues to raise. Karen Shaw, LLB, University of Hull (2009)

I found the contract session very beneficial.The lecturer was well informed & prepared. The lecture was relevant,helpful & interesting. Katie Bryce, LLB, University of London (External) (2009)

It was a pleasure to attend the Criminal Law seminar. Even though I knew the material, I was not able to grasp the exam technique. After this session, I feel more confident. Karen Butler, LLB, University of London (External) (2009)

I found the Land law course very useful, it touched on all important subjects and was a good summary of the examinable topics. Lauren Atkins, LLB, University of Westminster (2009)

The Criminal Law seminar was very helpful. It summarized the relevant topics very well and provided an excellent understanding of how everything is tied together. It was a great review of the most important aspects governing Criminal Law. Lauren Atkins, LLB, University of Westminster (2009)

I thought the Public Law seminar was brilliant. The professor was great and explained things with good, real life examples. It clarified a lot of points that I couldn't get a full understanding of just by reading the books. Liam Scully, LLB, Open University (2009)

I found the revision sessions in the Law of Contract and Public Law to be very good. They brought together my knowledge on the two topics and both tutors were excellent. I hope that there are some revision seminars that we are able to attend next year. Definitely the best money I have spent towards the exams. Thank you so much for arranging these seminars and hope to see you again next year. Lisa Walsh, LLB, University of Huddersfield (2009)

Land was all a blur to me before, however after Gianni's session it all became clear. The lecture was fast paced, clear, precise & well structured. Cramming a whole module into 5 hours is not an easy task however Gianni did a great job. I feel much more confident about sitting the exam now than I did before. Well worth it and would highly recommend this session. Mandy Jutla, GDL, University of Birmingham (2009)

Contract was great - well structured and disciplined. Scenario, legal terminology, followed by case authority. Hilary was able to cover all of the salient points, discuss exam technique and summarise, all within the time constraint in depth. I feel very confident sitting the contract exam. Mandy Jutla, GDL, University of Birmingham (2009)

I thought the way the QED days tackled the topics was very worthwhile; Crime, Land Law and Tort in particular.Thanks for again for a very informative and worthwhile set of revision weekends over the last two weeks. Matt Green, GDL, BPP Law School (2009)

Thanks again for the support. The revision tutorials were very useful, particularly the Tort one with Tracey. All the best, Miles Turner, LLB, University of London (External) (2009)

I found the Criminal Law session very useful. It focused on application, which is certainly one of my weaknesses at the moment. Thank you once again. It really was a beneficial session. MG, LLB, University of Birmingham (2009)

On the whole I have found the seminars (Contract, Crime, Public and Tort) good value for money. My experience was that all of the lecturers were more than happy to stay after the lecture to answer any further questions. I intend on returning next year. MG, LLB, University of Birmingham (2009)

I found the Contract and Crime seminars to be highly informative and a great way to consolidate everything. The exams feel a lot less daunting now. NA, GDL, BPP (2009)

The Contract and Criminal Law revision seminars were very good and covered a wide range of issues. The logically structured approach helped me understand different issues in problem solving questions and was clear and precise to the point. Nathan Ramanathan, LLB, University of London (External) (2009)

The Criminal Law seminar was a very helpful revision session and I will personally recommend it to the next year’s GDL students. In fact, your method of teaching is outstanding and the session exceeded my expectations. Clement Ehijiator, GDL, City University (2009)

Saturday's Criminal law seminar was very useful. I now feel much more confident about what I need to know and how to tackle a problem question in the exam. Sarah Davis, LLB, Oxford Brookes (2008)

I found the Land Law Seminar an enormous help in consolidating my revision. The lecturer gave us a great structure for answering any sort of question. Rupali Gill, GDL, College of Law (2008)

I found all 5 of the QED seminars which I attended to be well worth the time and money. It was also most useful to have answers and other handouts sent after the seminars. Anne Taylor, GDL, City University (2008)

"I attended the Revision Courses for Equity & Trusts and Land Law. I received a First for these subjects and a First overall. Time and money well spent." Tony Sheridan, LLB, Open University

Please let me thank you for yesterday's Tort and Contract lectures. I had very high expectations but I must say that my expectations were far exceeded.but I must say that my expectations were far exceeded. I noticed that all students were transfixed during the Tort lecture. Tracy Aquino's schematic approach is nothing short of brilliant. I came out of these lectures feeling completely re-energised. I really appreciate your efforts. Stephen Lewis, LLB, Open University.(2007)

I managed a respectable 60% in my Land Law paper and have passed the GDL with Commendation. The revision seminar was certainly worth attending (indeed, having seen my marks, I wish I'd attended the Criminal Law one as well!). I signed up for the revision course because I was not confident about passing an exam in the subject. Where the revision course helped is in putting Land Law itself into context and in seeing how it all fits together. Afterwards I felt I knew more about the subject as a whole than I had done before, and that made me more confident going into the exam. Mark Harris, GDL, London South Bank University (2008)

The Tort lecturer was absolutely marvellous.! Concise, straight to the point and more than I expected! Aurore Profumo, LLB, University of London (External) (2008)

I found the criminal law lecture most valuable and certainly worth the experience. Was also refreshing to meet students from various other universities and chat through the issues with them. Having also purchased your recorded lectures I am well used to your lecture style and find it both clear and engaging. Val Crawford, LLB, University of London External (2008)

I found all 5 of the QED seminars which I attended to be well worth the time and money. It was also most useful to have answers and other additional handouts sent after the seminars. Anne Taylor, GDL, City University (2008)

I found the Criminal Law seminar very useful and have recommended it to someone for next year. I thought the combination of materials, seminar and answers worked well. One of the things that I have found most difficult in criminal law is the amount of detail and the seminar helped to prioritise it and sort it into more manageable blocks. Jacqueline Gartland, LLB, University of London (External) (2008)

I found the seminars extremely interesting, particularly in separating the wood from the trees. Many thanks. Annie Simpson, GDL, UWE, (2008)

"I will certainly recommend these seminars - [Public Law, Law of Contract, Criminal Law and Land Law] - to fellow students for next year. They have been invaluable." Angela Dack, LLB, University of Essex (2007)

I thought that the seminars for all three subjects, Trusts, Tort and Public Law were extremely good and well worth the trip over from Gibraltar. The tutors were amazing. Leanne Turnbull, LLB, University of London External (2008)

The Land seminar was excellent! It drew all the areas together in a simple way and made the subject easier to understand. Lilian Zihni, LLB, University of London External (2008)

Both Tort and EU were fantastic. They really helped me get to grips with the subjects I needed to concentrate on. The lecturers were very clear and good at explaining difficult areas. I will be back next year for more classes. Victoria Cornwell, LLB, University of Kent (2008)

I would definitely recommend the Criminal law seminar it was excellent, I was impressed with the amount of material covered and found the notes provided were very useful for revision. Summer Khan, LLB, University of London External (2008)

I found the Land Law seminar useful. It set out the main components of Land Law in a logical fashion. Sarah Bains, GDL, College of Law (2008)

I attended the law revision seminars this weekend. They were fantastic and I was particularly impressed with Tracey who took the Tort sesssion. I will be back next year for my next two course components. Victoria Leek, Open University

"The Land seminar was excellent. Very well structured and thorough. Contract was also excellent. I left feeling I had a very good overview of the syllabus and how to go about tackling my revision. EU was very informative. Previously this subject was merely a mass of unconected facts and dates so I found the contextual explanantions in particular useful and informative. Anthony Evans Pughe, GDL, College of Law (2007)

"Thank you for providing a really thorugh analysis of the areas of Criminal law covered. It was superb." Daniel Osei-Kissi,, LLB, Birkbeck College, University of London (2007)

The Criminal Law revision seminar was spot on, loved it! Really useful, I feel a lot more prepared for the exams now. Thanks! Linda Hudson, GDL, BPP Law School (2007)

I want to say, I'm glad I had attended yesterday the Torts and the Equity & Trusts revisions. I'm more confident now that I may pass exams in my Uni. I wish they had a similar approach in my Uni. Yulia Bolton GDL Holborn College (2007)

"The Criminal Law seminar was an excellent tonic in calming my nerves. An invaluable revision course. Thank you." Nazma Miah, LLB, City University (2007)

"The Tort lecturer was brilliant. I walked away from the seminar feeling uplifted and surprisingly confident as this is certainly not my favourite area of law. I was highly impressed with the Law of Trusts lecturer, and I shall certainly recommend this seminar to my friends. " Alex Bell, LLB, University of Kent (2007)

"I thought that the Criminal law seminar was outstanding. The information about how to tackle Criminal law questions was so well presented and easy to follow. It complemented perfectly the very clear recorded criminal law lectures which I have found to be absolutely invaluable" Lilian Zihni, LLB, University of London (External) (2007)

"Land law is an incredibly difficult subject to understand and probably more so to make someone understand. That said... it was done amazingly well and very succinctly. I found it to be very useful and would recommend it to others." Adam Powley, LLB, Sussex University

"The Land Law and Equity & Trusts courses were excellent revision. They helped disperse the fog that lurks across those subjects and explained what is required in an examination. All this and great value for money! It no doubt helped me to achieve a distinction in those subjects last year" Kevin Danes, LLB, Open University

Geoff Jones, LLB, Anglia Polytechnic University

"Thank you very much for allowing me to attend the courses at such short notice. I found the teaching to be of the highest standard." Diane Thompson, GDL, College of Law, London

Josephine Nonyelu, GDL

"I would like to take the opportunity to say thank you for your time and consideration in relation to the Criminal Law revision seminar. I found the seminar most informative and helpful for my course of revision. The seminar also helped to relieve some of the anxiety that I've had preparing for my exams." Edith Stuart, LLB, Birkbeck College, University of London

"I am studying with the University of London External programme, and am independent. I do not attend any university, so these lectures, and the Law in a Box... were SO important to me. In previous years, I have attended the University of London’s revision courses. I found your format so much more beneficial than the two hour format offered with the UoL. The Tort revision seminar proved to be (by far) the most beneficial lecture that I have attended during my 3 years of study. I found the lecturer's style and delivery excellent, and her revision technique has enabled me to consolidate and revise in a more relaxed way. Best money I have spent. Many thanks." Jane Webley LLB University of London External

[Attended all seminars except EU] "I thought all the seminars were excellent." Mark Reckless, GDL, College of Law

"I found the Tort seminar extremely useful. The lecturer was excellent and made everything incredibly simple to follow." Katie Gannon University of Birmingham

"I thought yesterday's seminar in Criminal Law was terrific. Admittedly Criminal is my preferred subject but, that aside, yesterday’s lecture flew by, and was most useful." Barry Shaverin, GDL, University of Westminster

Land Law - The lecturer brought the subject together and helped provide a "birds eye view" of it which is often quite difficult to get when you are the studying the individual topics of land law throughout the year.

Trusts - This was probably the session that helped me the most. Prior to it I had not begun my revision for equity and it was a subject that I was perhaps dreading the most. Although the courses are essentially to supplement revision you have already done, it really did help break me into the subject and I went into my revision with a lot more confidence than I would have otherwise.

Contract - I thought the session was excellent - in particular the way that Hilary was so receptive to focussing the session on what the students wished to concentrate on. The key issues were explained clearly which made the subject matter all the more accessible. It was so useful to be given suggestions on how to approach an exam question.

Tort - Tracey was excellent. Again she helped put the subject (and in particular the tort of negligence) into perspective. What I thought was great was that she gave out her email address at the beginning and said that anyone was welcome to email her with questions etc and that she would get back to QED students as a matter of priority. I took her up on this offer the night before my exam in a bit of a panic (not really expecting a reply at such short notice) and I had a highly detailed email back at 8am the next day!

Crime - The criminal law session was equally excellent. Two things stand out in particular. Firstly, the way that you explained issues by analogy, which just made the topic easier to grasp. And secondly, the defences flow chart towards the end. I had never thought of it like that before and often got confused when trying to get to grips with voluntary/involuntary intoxication etc.

General: All in all I though the sessions were great and well worth the money. I would definitely recommend the courses to any law student. Alasdair Hall, GDL, Plymouth University (2009)

Thank you so much for yesterdays lectures. I found them both to be extremely helpful - enhancing my overall understanding, and a great contribution to my revision. I am very pleased I made the effort to come back for them! Annabel Bowen-Hopkins, LLB, Newcastle University (2009)

"Never have I learned so much in such a short space of time - I gained a real understanding of the topics covered , an impressive number in the available time, as well as invaluable exam focus. For the first time I actually feel I know what examiners are looking for - amazingly, never spelt out before by my course providers. The latest case briefings were invaluable & the course materials were of such quality & explanatory in nature that (unusually for me) I continue to retain the information." Tara McHale GDL BPP Law School

The courses I attended; EU, Tort and Land have really helped me to focus my revision and I am much more confident about sitting my exams in a few weeks time. I will be back next year. Annemarie Higgins, GDL, Kingston (2009)

I found the Land Revision course very helpful and felt it nicely consolidated my revision so far. Thanks again for the seminar. Ash Menon, LLB, University of Westminster (2009)

The revision sessions (Trusts, Tort and EU) were really very useful and added something extra to my individual revision programme. My friends and I thought the lecturers were clear and very approachable in answering any queries we had. The course content itself and the lecturers were brilliant - well worth a trip from Southampton! Clare, LLB University of Southampton (2009)

I really enjoyed a productive day with the tort revision this weekend. The lecturer was extremely thorough and related the questions block by block to the areas of law and cases, which in essence was much easier to understand and apply. Many thanks and I look forward to taking advantage of the QED courses next year. Ashley Shokar, LLB, University of Kent (2009)

The Contract course was particularly good. The tutor had exceptional knowledge. She identified the most important principles and key authorities for revision. Her presentation style made the five hours pass quickly. Martin Brown, GDL, College of Law (2009)

I found all the classes very helpful in preparation for my exams and appreciate the quality of instructors, lectures and materials provided. Prof Black-Branch was also excellent at dealing with the CLRI yesterday. Busuyi Aroso, LLB, University of London (External) (2009)

Thank you for hosting the QED revision classes. The revision classes were exactly what I needed right before exams to help me put things in focus and solidify my knowledge of Tort and Trust Law.

Tort - Tracy Aquino is a dynamic lecturer. Her guidance and approach towards answering exam questions was invaluable. One of the very best lecturers. Excellent revision, excellent coverage.

Trust – M. Ramjohn is a brilliant lecturer. He provided much needed guidance on tackling difficult topics and issues both in answering problems and essays.

I am so glad I attended and I do look forward to next year’s revision classes. The quality of the lecturers and the materials provided was superb. Again, many thanks for hosting this for us. Liz Cuff, LLB, University of London (2009)

I thought the seminars in Land and Tort were very useful. I shall most definitely be back for next year. I really do think the revision seminars last year helped towards my high 2:1. Emily Hayes, LLB, University of Kent (2009)

I thought the Criminal Law semnar was absolutely fantastic! I feel I learned so much and you explained it in a way that was easy to understand. It was well worth the money and it was very beneficial. Also, the breaks every so often helped me digest the information and kept me alert throughout the seminar.

I also attended the Tort revision course the week before with Tracy Aquino which I was also very impressed with. Claire Byfield, ILEX Professional Higher Diploma in Law, Distance Learning (2009)

Thanks once more for the revision seminars. They were exactly what I needed before starting off with my own revision. Clement Ehijiator, GDL, City University (2009)

I found the Criminal Law seminar very useful. It was easy to understand and exactly what you need before the exam. I have recommended all my friends to join. I am very impressed by the course materials and additional materials you provided after the seminar. And the way the lecturer conducted the Land Law seminar was perfect. Thank you very much. Regards, Devendra. LLB, University of London (External) (2009)

The Tort seminar was extremely useful. It made a few things that I was unclear on much easier to understand - mainly how to go about answering the exam questions without panicking. Tracey was also very clear and concise in her presentation. Jamie Phillips, LLB, Kings College London (2009)

Law of Contract and Tort: Both seminars and tutors were fantastic. It was easy to follow, well structured and illustrated. I will certainly recommend them to my fellow students. Alexandra Poutoux, GDL (p/t), College of Law (2009)

I found the Law of Contract seminar very useful for my revision. I shall be attending next year. Rachel Ruiz-Savidge, LLB, Open University (2009)

Contract, Crime and Public: I have to say that the seminars were excellent, and I think that many people felt the same. Khandaker Rahman, LLB, University of London (External) (2009)

These are the 'missing links' that my university fails to provide. They summarise and bring the different strands within the topics together in a very useful manner which cements a great deal of the material in the mind. It was a worthwhile use of the time, and I would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone who does not feel 100% on top of their game. Rhys Hopkins, GDL, City University (2009)

I found the Contract Law session very useful. It was very clearly taught and has increased my confidence in the subject. Sarah Newton, GDL, University of Plymouth (2009)

I really enjoyed the Trusts seminar. The lecturer was very interesting and we managed to cover quite a few issues. Thank you so much. Lana Konyukhova, LLB, University of Westminster (2009)

The QED Revision lectures were excellent. I attended EU, Land, Tort and Trusts. The tutors were all very knowledgeable, current in their analysis and dealt with students' queries and problems very well. I felt through all the sessions that the tutors had a real desire to help us and had an excellent grasp on common problems for students within each syllabus. They approached the subjects from the point of view of what's important for the exam itself. This was very refreshing and much needed. Val Crawford, LLB, University of London (2009)

The class on EU was fantastic. The lecturer tackled the topic from a practical, real life perspective and everyone was very keen to hear his analyisis. When I did the exam itself, a lot of what he had discussed came up on the paper - this off course was true of the other tutors too. Val Crawford, LLB, University of London (2009)

As an University of London External Student, I felt that the analytical, tutorial style approach to the subjects was very effective during the QED sessions. I know that many of my peers agree with me when I say that on the whole the QED lectures are more useful than the University of London weekend classes. They were very well organised and well worth the money. Val Crawford, LLB, University of London (2009)

Thank you for your power packed revision on Criminal Law. It was very refreshing getting exposed to a mature perspective on some of the major topics and issues underpinning criminal law, as well as some exam techniques other than the ones back at my Law School. Vasileios Klianis, LLB, University of Kent (2009)

The Criminal Law revision seminar was really very helpful. The explanation of the difficult points was clear, always getting to the core of the issues without losing sight of the big picture. One of the aspects I like of your class is that you are very sensitive to students needs and it shows in the way you address the topics. In short, learning doesn't stop at revision time, there is always an opportunity to capture some new aspect in a different light and to add some colour to a grey area... this is the healthy balance that your course brings about. Thanks! Vicky Rebori, LLB, University of London (External) (2009)

I am very pleased that I was able to attend these seminars. They are of great benefit to students. Victoria Dinham, GDL, BPP Law School (2009)

The Contract revision was excellent. The lecture was very clear and useful and I will recommend the course. Vicky Rebori, LLB, University of London (External) (2009)

I attended the recent Contract and Crime revision seminars. Both sessions were very good, and worth the trip from Plymouth! Zhanna Tomashevskaya, GDL, University of Plymouth (2009)

I am so happy I took the time out to attend these seminars (Criminal law, Land law and Trusts). I have learnt so much.Thank you for putting together these revision materials and seminars. I have recommended them to other students to try and attend next year. Pat Wisdom, LLB, University of London (External) (2009)

The seminar on Land Law was, to use a contemporary expression 'awesome'. The lecturer brought a huge amount of energy into the topic and I will be recommending the seminar to anyone who will listen. It was by far the most productive hours spent on land law this whole year. Brian Putman, LLB, Oxford Brookes, (2008)

I found both courses - Law of Contract and Public Law - very helpful. Many thanks for a very worthwhile weekend and all your assistance. Ian Bethell Bennet, LLB, University of London External (2008)

The seminar was a great help in tying loose ends and giving important pointers about exam technique. I was a bit sceptical about attending a revision session outside my college but it was worth it - especially because it offered a new perspective. Camelia Burn, GDL, College of Law (2008)

I found the Trusts seminar really helpful and the lecturer was good at responding to any questions. It clarified areas that I was having problems with and was very beneficial. The accompanying lecture notes were really good and helped point out some main judgements. I also found the Criminal Law seminar really helpful. I understand most of the law relating to this area but was having problems applying the information. I found the seminar helped at a lot in this area - in providing clarity in what we should be aiming to do when answering problem questions. The handout accompanying the lecture was similarly helpful. Gemma Haley, GDL, BPP Law School, (2008)

I will recommend the seminars to others as I found them very useful and helpful. The lecturers were very clear, easy to understand and easy to approach. I am extremely pleased I decided to attend them and they have made me feel more confident about the exams! I will definitely be coming back again next year. Caroline Brooker, LLB, University of Kent (2008)

"I just wanted to drop a note to say how grateful I was for the revision courses on Land Law and Equity & Trusts. Undertaking my law degree through the Open University, which starts in February each year, meant that the revision courses were early in the course, but hugely useful. I ended up with a distinction for the year which I would not have done otherwise, and a 2:1 which was fantastic. Thank you for making the subjects interesting and actually enjoyable." Marion Shipman, LLB, Open University

The Criminal seminar last Sunday was really fantastic. The class was very informative and I would without hesitation recommend it. Atik Kitani, GDL, City University (2008)

I found the Criminal Law seminar to be presented in a clear, coherent and organised way. The lecturer did a brilliant job condensing down the most relevant issues and conveying them to us in such a short amount of time. Providing us with additional materials was an added bonus and helpful with revision. I would highly recommend the seminar. Heidi Cook, LLB, University of London External (2008)

The Tort lecture was excellent. Extemely useful information on exam technique, it gave me much more confidence on how to tackle questions. Very clear and detailed notes too. EU was also excellent. It was so refreshing to have EU Law delivered in such a coherent manner! Trusts was a fantastic lecture with extremely useful exam technique and advice. It was very clear and well worth attending. Many thanks for organising the lectures, I will recommend them to friends. Jane McGarrell, LLB, UEA (2008)

"I found the Law of Trusts seminar extremely useful. As a student with the OU, we only started this subject in February, and as such some of the topics were new to me. The tutor, nevertheless, guided us through the more difficult parts extremely well and made the concepts easier to digest. It was very much based on going through the questions, but he also went into more detail than the question required to give us a thorough understanding of the topic. I would recommend this course to anyone, whether they are nearing exams or not.

In relation to the tutor, he was enthusiastic about this subject and I found this contagious!

I also liked the idea of getting the notes to read through before the course and I'm sure I will be using these as a referencing tool during the rest of my course." Nia Thomas, LLB, Open University (2007)

The Trusts seminar was fantastic, very informative and the lecturer was very approachable. Lucy McEntaggart, LLB, University of Kent (2008)

The revision seminars were extremely useful and they helped consolidate the year's work into manageable revision blocks. Diane Jackson, LLB, Birkbeck College (2008)

The Tort session was outstanding! It was clear that Ms Aquino knew her stuff and delivered it superbly. She remained really focused and presented the information in a really helpful way that I'm sure will improve my marks at exam. Best money I've ever spent! Jane Miles, GDL, Oxford Brookes University (2008)

I found both the Contract and Criminal sessions to be exactly what I was hoping that they would be. The topics covered were well chosen and delivered at the right pace for me. It was money well spent. John Thorburn, Senior Status LLB (Hons), Teesside University (2008)

I'd just like to drop some feedback about this year's revision seminars. I felt that your Criminal Law lecture was exceptionally useful - in particular, that run down of s. 47, s. 18 and s.20 offences plus the various burglary - related offences was very clear and I could remember it well during the exam. The CLRI and Public law lectures by Adam were also good. I'm pleased with my exam results for these subjects - a big thanks to you and Adam for brilliant lectures. Karin Kuhlemann, LLB, University of London (External) (2008)

The seminars were all geared toward what I was looking for. It can be unnerving to approach all of the GDL exams and not know exactly what's expected in the exam, so hearing directly from experienced examiners really helped. It was especially helpful going to another source and getting another perspective on the issues. I do thank you very much for offering the seminars and for calming my nerves!In terms of venue, time, etc., I found them to be very well organized, and the location was central, very easy to get to. I will recommend the seminars to anyone interested in this valuable exam preparation! Erica Griebel, GDL, City University (2008)

I found the contract revision material and lecture very helpful. Shereen Hafeez, GDL, University of Westminster (2008)

The seminars were all excellent and I would indeed highly recommend them. A, GDL, College of Law (2008)

I found the Public Law Seminar to be very useful and would certainly recommend it. Steven Brading , LLB, University of London External (2008)

The Criminal law seminar was fantastic. It really helped to pull the whole syllabus together just before the exam and allowed one to get a "birds eye view" of the rather large body of work - something which is sometimes difficult when one is stuck in the detail. Miles Turner, LLB, University of London External (2008)

"The Land revision seminar was extremely useful. It helped to clarify particularly difficult areas and also gave excellent exam tips. The revision materials and example questions were really useful. The same applies to the Trusts seminar. I would recommend the course to anyone. " Jenny Hawrot, LLB, University of Brunel (2007)

I would certainly recommend the seminars (and I have done so!). They are helpful and provide one with that last minute insight in how to actually structure the exam script. Thank you for organising them! Fizza Kadiwal, LLB, University of London (External) (2008)

Both the Land and Contract seminars were very helpful and mad everything much clearer than the numerous revision books I've been purchasing this summer ! Lauren Marett, LLB for Graduates, University of Birmingham (2007)

"The Land Law tutor was excellent and went at just the right pace for me to understand things etc... He explained the topics which were relevant to what I am revising so well. I really feel I understand them now. I am really pleased I went on the course." Katherine Goatly, GDL, BPP Law School

Thank you Norman I really was very impressed with the Tort seminar, I enjoyed it very much and found the tutor very approachable.Same goes for Land Law. The seminar was brilliant; excellent tutor who went just at the right pace for me. Helen Wilson LLB University College London (2007)

The revision seminars for Law of Tort and Law of Contract were excellent. I intend to use the materials and recorded lectures to revise for my exam in October instead of my Open University manuals. I would recommend the seminars to all law students. Cherie Hill, LLB, Open University (2007)

"Tort was truly wonderful. I wish the lecturer had been a tutor at my College. We covered a terrific amount of material and she gave us a framework for answering any question.Contract was great, excellent on the cases and very helpful on exam technique and the lecturer for Trusts was superb. These weekends have been worth every penny, made me inspired to get on with my own revision and confident that I do know the subjects." Anne Mannion, GDL, College of Law (2007)

Tracey Aquino had a fantastic delivery, and it was clear from the ease with which she clarified and explained the controversies of tort law, that she has had many years of teaching experience. This enabled her to transfer her knowledge in the most effective and student-friendly manner. I certainly gained a sense of confidence and a fresh outlook as to how to approach problem questions in exams. Thank you for such a great opportunity! Alexandra Bamban, LLB, University of Surrey (2007)

"The Criminal Law revision seminar was excellent. The way that it was taught was very impressive and the materials are very useful. The Contract seminar tutor was excellent and the materials were also very useful." Jenny Leung, LLB, University of London (External) (2007)

"The Criminal law seminar was very good indeed. The lecturer was excellent. I would be pleased to recommend any of my acquaintances to attend." Stuart Dixon, LLB, Birkbeck College, University of London (2007)

The Law of Tort seminar was very useful. I really liked the lecturer's approach and style; it was very down to earth and practical - you could tell she'd taught lots of students.

Brenda Gvozdanovic, GDL, Nottingham Trent University (2007)

The Land Law session was good. It was very useful to have the syllabus presented in a diagrammatical format. Shadia Anderson, GDL, College of Law (2007)

"The Equity & Trusts course was excellent revision and really helped to clarify the difficult concepts in this area. Being taught how to answer examination questions was also really helpful. I came away from the course feeling that the rather daunting subject of Equity & Trusts was actually rather manageable and I would highly recommend the course" Katie Harrison, LLB, Exeter University (2007)

I found the lecture really helpful, easy to follow and enlightening. I feel a lot more confiedent about the subject and not so worried about the exam. The lecture is very knowledgable and approachable. I now understand trusts a lot better and know what the examiners are looking for. Georgina Patrick LLB, Nottingham Trent University. (2007)

"At the start of the courses I felt a million miles away from the subject and by the end, I felt that I knew where I was going and what I had to do in order to cope with the exams.

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

"The revision courses gave me so much more confidence when it came to my exams. They provided a much welcomed overview of the core subjects before I began my revision and helped to provide much more of a structure to my knowledge. The courses focused my mind and highlighted those areas which needed the most revision. It was useful to have a different perspective on each subject from that which I had had from my own tutors during the GDL." Sophie Albinson City University GDL

Thank you again Kind regards " Victoria Boast University of Surrey in Guildford

"I found the Criminal Law revision session very useful, especially in terms of the correct structure of answers, which I had been struggling with previously. I found that in the Criminal, Tort and Trusts seminars the information was concise and helpfully presented, particularly as to how to approach problem questions. Thanks also to all the lecturers who seemed happy to stay late and answer questions when they must all have been pretty tired! I will definitely be booking courses/getting lawinabox titles etc. next year if any of my third year electives are covered... I've literally just taken my Criminal law exam and, thanks to the course, felt completely confident... See you next year!" Eleanor Midwinter, Newcastle University

"Without the fantastic in depth tutoring I received prior to my exams I would not have passed my LLB Law exams nor gained my training contract ". John O'Donnell, LLB, University of Essex
