Deadlines and Coursework, Happy Days

Land: 7th March
Tort: 30th March
Criminal: 21st March
As you can see there are many coursework deadlines that need to be met and no easy task is that. Land: well, that is about rights over land, covenants, restrictions, burden of promise, successors in title, LPA 1925 and much, much more. This particular coursework is divided into three parts, you think that would make it easier but no actually, it is not. Part of being a solicitor/barrister involves independent research, lots of reading of cases and keeping up with the latest authority and law. So this year, the law department set us the wonderful task of researching dwelling houses and restrictive covenants. And, yes, I do realise that this just sounds like jargon but don’t worry when you reach this level or perhaps even if you’re doing A Level law you will understand all this eventually. This is not to frighten you; it is just a tiny glimpse into the world of LLB Law. And some may feel like it is a waste of time but truly  you learn many fascinating subjects which do have an impact on everyday life such as mortgages, which at some point in everyone’s life they will get.
Criminal law, now who isn’t intrigued by the world of crime?? Admittedly, I have not yet begun this coursework but I will soon, this piece is centred on manslaughter and murder. At first glance murder, manslaughter may appear to be simple but it is not.
Finally, the law of torts. Torts covers such a wide variety of subjects that although, I am half way through the year I find it difficult to summarise in one point. I can, however, tell you that it covers areas such as drivers, doctors and patients, even extends into battery and assault, defamation, employer and employee liability. All such fascinating subjects.
Don’t worry it is not as bad as it sounds J
Now that I think I’ve completely scared you here is something that to cheer you up:
