Hi

I start the OU W100 course in Feb 2013 too!

So far, I have found the following resources which I have found useful, and assume they reflect some of the W100/LLB content:

If I find any others I'll post them here!

Hi Ian,

I am also starting the same course in feb 13

Ive been reading on forums and have found a number of books which might interest you including: letters to a law studen (Nicholas j macbride), the law machine and learning the law (by glanville Williams)... I've finished reading these books and they are incredible; they give you an idea of what to expect, how to organise work, note taking tips and much more. And a book that I've also read is: use your mind (by tony buzan) this book teaches you to read faster, retain more and learn more effectively (it's already helped me in work)

I hope that helps.... Let me know how you get on and if you find any other good reads

Ps I would invest in a law dictionary aswell (I've got a longman copy)

Starting Feb 2013 also - read an interesting article, relevant too I think, by HLA Hart Concept of Law It discusses the nature of 'rules' versus moral obligation/habit etc. That apart, I seek further pre-course reading, but beware to ensure it is relevant.
I have just finished the w100, 1piece of advice i would give for the course is to not leave the assignments until last minute like i did! I is a very interesting course im starting w200 in Feb! I hope u all enjoy the course im sure u will

I'm starting W100 in Feb 2013 as well.
The W100 Feb 2012 thread on here attracted a lot of use and I hope that this thread will be as popular and helpful for the coming year
