Law Express?

Soo -- I had my exams in the beginning of May and results were published a few days ago. No shocker, but I have to resit my Land Law exam. Now, I think one of the main reasons I failed was simply because I never ever understood Land Law, and it all seemed like a foreign language to me. I spent the month and a bit leading upto my exam trying to teach myself something I never understood so my question is:

Are law express books useful? I know people say to not rely on them completely, and to just use it as guidance because textbooks can be quite complicated.

What're your thoughts? Any recommendations on nutshell books? I have 3 weeks to my resit!

I had a lot of stuff like this for land law and the nutshell is by far the best. I only had the nutshell and managed to score 60, which isn't particularly impressive, but when 40% of the people fail the module completely (at Hull) any pass is good!

40% of the students fail land law? Why?! Is it that hard? I have to take it next year.

yurp. It's something that people just don't get. It's an odd mismatch of common law and equity, registered and unregistered land and some odd rules that apply only to land because of its infinite, indestructible nature.

Don't get me wrong, I know a couple of people who got firsts in it, but I know more people who failed or got in the low 40s

Oh no, sounds awful. At my university, the module is called 'Property' and includes land law.

Well we do two. We do Law of property 1 (Land Law) and Law of property 2 (Law of Trusts). Personally i think that they teach them the wrong way around and should teach trusts before land because a lot of land is on trusts but meh, I don't set to curriculum. I got 60 in Land and 72 in trusts =S
