OCR AS Law exam - Sources of Law- May 30th

I did the paper in january and trust me if delegated legislation comes up you might aswell start dancing in the exam hall, its by far the easiest. Did you do your English Legal System in January then?
My think your paper will be precedent and legislation since eu law and SI came up in jan but who knows: )

As long as EU doesn't come up I'll be happy! I find SI the easiest though.
Yes, I did the English Legal System in January, you may have found what questions came up in January 2012 already, but if not then I wrote down what they were (incase I needed to resit), if it helps:

Section A:
ADR (on mediation), police powers (on street arrests), juries (their role and dis/advantages), then solicitors and judges (didn't do those 2 so didn't write down what on).
Section B:
sentencing (youth+adult custodial), and civil courts (didn't do- don't remember what it was on).

And if you're not even taking that paper this time around, hopefully someone else will find it useful Thanks for the info though!

In January I had "exceptional circumstances" but managed to scrape a C, meaning I need a grade A this time around to scrape a B overall (I might resit English Legal next January to boost my grade though)

Hey.. you know you said in jan 2012 street arrests came up in the police powers question do you mean powers of arrest or stop and search??

I think your looking at a Delegated Legislation/Judicial Precedent paper

I really hope eu law doesnt come up its the hardest one out of all of them im not even going to bother learning it

Do we need to apply all our answers to the sources? and if so how do we do that like do we quote it from the source?? im so confused ive done nothing on this unit

Only quote the source if it says so in the question. You just really need to put something so they know you've looked at it, it will be on the topic of your question, so if it was on the problems of precedent you may say.
"As stated in source B there are many problems with Precedent other than (whatever it says in the source) but courts have ways to deal with these"

Not how helpful that was but feel free to ask more

Ohh ok so we dont copy out chunks of the source just kinda summarise it in our answers.. also how do we structure the questions eg do we need a introduction and conclusion on every question or just go straight into the answer?

No not really, just saying something with reference to the source so the examiner knows you've read and understand it Pretty much just go straight into it, it doesn't need that much of an introduction, say you were doing delegated legislation, you could say " There are many uses of legislation, not all can appropriatly be made by parliament, consequently we have delegated legislation..." You don't really need a conclusion in all fairness, they won't mark you down for it

Greatt thanks for your help.. are you sitting this exam in may also have you done English legal system?? i have both in may
