You can spend weeks studying administrative law and still freeze when you open the exam.

​

You've learnt the facts of a pile of cases. You remember something about procedural fairness, irrelevant considerations and merits review.

​

But then comes the difficult part:

​

• What are all the legal issues in this long and complicated question?

• What test do I use? 

• How do I convert pages of notes into a brief summary of law?

• What order should I discuss everything in?

• How much law do I need to state before I start applying it?

• Which facts actually matter?

• Have I missed anything?

​

That uncertainty costs time, creates stress and can leave you writing everything you know instead of answering the question you were actually asked.

​

The solution is to change how you prepare for your exam. 

​

Most students spend weeks preparing for exams without ever really knowing what they should be preparing for.

​

They reread textbooks.

​

Rewrite lecture notes.

​

Make tables of cases.

​

Try to memorise enormous amounts of law.

​

Order their notes by week (e.g. week 7, week 8).

​

But very little of that tells you what your exam is actually likely to ask, which topics deserve the most attention, or how to turn everything you have learned into an effective answer under time pressure.

​

This seminar is designed to change that.

​

Instead of simply teaching you more Administrative Law, we will look at the subject from the perspective of the exam itself.

​

Presented by a former university lecturer in law who has marked thousands of law exams, the seminar will show you how to prepare strategically, identify the areas most likely to be assessed, recognise common fact patterns and structure your preparation around the questions you are actually likely to face.
