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.

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. Saturday, November 7

Should I charge for use of this LawsBlog? With over 200,000 visits a year, it has been suggested that I should charge a fee for use of this blog. Basically, the suggestion is to charge visitors an annual subscription of say £10 (that's cheaper than a law book). Currently, I simply invite visitors to donate to the Royal Institute for the Blind. Give your comments on the suggestion that I should charge for using this blog. Friday, October 16

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.

I asked Laws students to email me if they felt they had too much homework and wanted to defer the January examination until June. Only one student made the request, so I can confirm that Laws students will be facing examinations in January 2010.

I am impressed by a range of quality resources called 'Issues' from a small publishing company called 'Independence'. Please follow this link for a list of titles (cost of £7.45 each). The subject areas range from: Abortion to Sport. These books could help a student doing an Extended Project. We carry a small stock of 'Issues Books' in TRA-15 (bookshelf), but books cannot be taken from the classroom. There is a fuller supply of 'Issues Books' in the Library. There is also an 'Issues Online' facility within the Library - see the Librarian for a password. Friday, August 21

The 'Roll of Academic Excellence' lists Laws students who have "excelled in effort" over the last month or so. If you have excellent attendance, have submitted all of your Laws Homework on time and to an excellent standard, and/or have shown excellent effort/progress in your work, you may be placed on the Roll of Academic Excellence by your Laws Lecturer/Teacher. more » Tuesday, August 4
