This book deals with the major hurdles that all students must face: examinations. To overcome this barrier, it is important that the exam process is fully understood by students and that the techniques used by successful examinees are thoroughly mastered. Written in a clear, accessible style, Exam Skills for Law Students demonstrates how good students can do themselves justice in examinations by using the knowledge that they have acquired to full effect. The authors suggest ways in which legal arguments can be marshalled and identify methods bywhich both essay and problem questions can be tackled. Examples are drawn from the core subjects of contract, criminal law, public law and the law of torts, although techniques illustrated can be applied to many other areas of law. This will be an invaluable aid to any students taking academic lawexaminations.

What do the people say about this book?"I will say a must-have course for anyone interested in improving his legal research skills. This course conveys in few sittings what books will tell in hundreds"."The course is excellent ... explains everything in a plain language. Thank you." "You cannot afford not learning legal research skills if you are a law student or in the legal profession. This course makes things clear and easy". 'Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information about it'. James BowelLegal Research Skills is considered as a fundamental and core skill for the law students and budding lawyers. More and more law schools are concerned about developing this skill for their students at the initial stages of their legal studies.This book is aimed at the law students undertaking their undergraduate or postgraduate law courses anywhere in the world in any jurisdiction. The book teaches essential and practical legal research skills you need right from the start of your legal career through to the completion of it (I hope that is retirement from your professional life if you wish so!).The book discusses strategies for undertaking legal research for a particular assignment and discusses, supports and encourages well established practices and practical approaches towards carrying out effective legal research. The book covers all stages of the legal research; from the point when a student or a lawyer is handed an assignment through to presenting the final findings of the research to the tutor or supervisor.I have been involved in carrying out legal research extensively during my postgraduate degrees and then in my legal practice for around seven years in total. The course also reflects my personal experience of undertaking legal research during my legal practice.The book also includes useful Latin terms, abbreviations, practitioners' texts and contains wide range of invaluable and free online resources which will be helpful in finding relevant resources for research purposes. The resources include material from independent organisations and also include resources from number of legal jurisdictions for you to explore them further.

'Until we can manage time, we can manage nothing else.' Peter F Drucker And if you are a law student, lack of time management skills may simply have extremely disastrous effects on your academic and professional career. This book that you may (or are about to) read addresses the specific needs of the law students and those of the law teachers who constantly worry about poor time management skills of their students.From academic life to professional career, law students always complain about the paucity of time and their continuous struggle with the time management. From day one of the law school, students are expected to read and absorb, learn and retain, research and resolve, prepare and argue books, case law authorities, journal articles, legal problems and scenarios, and the technical wording of acts and statutes. In my experience of learning, teaching and practising the law, I found that the requirements of the law students are different from those of the students of other disciplines. While a common approach is always available to a student of any discipline, a specific approach is not very common.I found further support for my book in a research article "Time: An Empirical Analysis of Law Student Time Management Deficiencies" by Christine P. Bartholomew of Buffalo School of Law published in the University of Cincinnati Law Review* and also in the article written by Camille Lamar Campbell, "Timing is Everything: Teaching Essential Time Management Skills for "Real-World" Legal Writing"**.In legal studies, time management is not just about attending and managing class time. Increasingly, the law students' time is being spent on out of class learning and on the activities which have become essential along with the normal studies. Better time management is supposed to encompass every aspect of the law student's life including sleep, travel, exercise, and social activities.The need for addressing time management issues of the law students was also supported by my discussions with the law teachers and also with the law students, who are struggling to manage their time and are constantly looking for solutions to their time management issues. This course/book is not the result of any overnight thought. This has taken time to develop and finally resulted in an opportunity for me to offer law students some useful tools and techniques. I now leave you to read and explore this book and I hope that you will make deliberate and continuous efforts to apply the skills that you learn from this book. *Christine P. Bartholomew, Time: An Empirical Analysis of Law Student Time Management Deficiencies, 81 U. Cin. L. Rev.
