This is Vital. If you haven't started revising already then you are weeks behind! Luckily I have drawn up a revision checklist in order to help you prepare for the exam. Print it out- and get a cover for it. It is the most important peice of paper you will have this year. We will use it to record our revision and it will show us the questions that might come up in the exam.

Stop reading this and start printing it now! Why are you still reading? Print it.

This month we are focusing upon answering the question. At the end of each sub-heading paragraph(s) you should relate back to the essay title/question. In the conclusion, you MUST relate back to the words in the title.

I have marked essays in which students gave 100 words and 103 words in a sentence. Plain English editors, like Whitesmoke, mark out such sentences as showing a poor writing style. The modern trend is to average around 14 words per sentence. Some authors give much less. Proof read your work please.

Strode's College Students in the UK Supreme Court.

Students from the Department of Laws really shined at the Opening Ceremony of the Supreme Court on Friday 16th October 2009. They demonstrated a clear ability to present a moot and argue points of law before nine Supreme Court judges. Questions flowed from the judges, but the students responded with confidence and charm.

The Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, David Cameron, and others complimented them on their success. They spoke with the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Archbishop of Canterbury and even John Roberts the Chief Justice from the US Supreme Court.  The number of senior Judges and dignitaries who stopped me to congratulate me on the success of the students is beyond counting. Well done to all of the students involved. You are stars.
