Simon Says Played Well
The Univ. of London is to be congratulated for allowing Old Bailey Press to publish their LL.B. external examination questions 1998-1999 for the law of tort. The purpose is not to provide model anwers, but to provide answers which illustrate the identification of pertinent issues and the application of legal reasoning in articulating a solution. The format is to present the question, provide brief general comment highlighting the legal issues which the examiner likely expects the examinee to identify, followed by an illustrative solution. The Univ. of London format is to require four questions to be answered in three hours and fifteen minutes, and these are handwritten answers rather than computer entries. Handwriting is slow, neat handwriting takes time, and the student may be left with a conundrum of having to provide adequate subject coverage without adequate time for review of entries or for maximizing readability. The suggested anwers which the author provides are excellent study tools which allow the reader to receive guided instruction in identifying primary issues and in reviewing a well constructed and appropriately full resolution without providing wholly exhausting detail. However, it seems questionable that a student could provide one-third as much detail in handwritten form and still be able to anwers the questions in the alotted time. It seems questionable that one could handwrite four questions in three hours as answered here even if they copied them from the book, much less write them in a form that would be readily legible. It is recognized by the author, and presumably, by the examiners, that the solutions provided are much more than an answer achievable under examination conditions. However, this small book provides an excellent research guide and revision aide that should be a helpful tool in the preparation of anyone contemplating sitting for an exam in the English law of tort. This is a quite well done offering.
