FAQ — Law College
How should I organize my revision for a Law degree?
For a Law degree, prioritize case law flashcards and thematic course summaries. Organize your notes by branch of law (civil, criminal, public) and by semester. Dedicate each session to one subject and alternate between re-reading course material, practicing case studies, and reviewing key case law. Start revising at least 6 weeks before exams.
What are the most important subjects in the first year of Law?
The fundamental subjects in the first year of Law are constitutional law (functioning of the Fifth Republic, constitutional review), introduction to civil law (sources of law, evidence, legal personality), and judicial institutions (judicial organization, distinction between administrative and judicial courts). Legal methodology is also crucial for succeeding in university exercises.
How do I succeed in a case commentary in a Law degree?
A good case commentary follows a two-part plan with two sub-parts each. Start by identifying the facts, procedure, legal issue, and the court's ruling. Your introduction should include a hook, the case summary, and an outline. In the body, analyze the decision by comparing it with previous case law, scholarly doctrine, and legislative texts. Pay attention to transitions and the significance of the ruling.
