OCR AS Law: The English Legal System 24th May

Hey you know for the bail question the part A bit did you only talk about the bail act or did you also talk about the police powers to grant bail? :biggrin:

I did both :smile:

I think they're trying to re-word the questions to spook us and my teachers warned us of that! But really they're just asking the same things as they have before :smile:

How'd you find it?

If only you predict the lottery like that eh? I'd be a millionaire! I don't think I did, I honestly can't remember, probably maybe 1 sentence to conclude :s-smilie:

I know I think I counted like 8/9 sides of A4 or something crazy like that

Made up Bail and Police Powers came up! Community Sentences and Barristers Training wasnt that bad, hope Ive done good in this one, going to be dropping it and pick up history instead. Found out that law is not the subject for me...

I could not believe how much of a gift this paper was :smile:

Bail came up, stop and search came up and thank god i read the question carefully cause it said other searches in the police station, and i did roles of the lay mags and the jurisdiction of high court and county court so question 1,5,6 and 7 :smile:

i really revised the legal profession, but i have no idea what the 2010 reforms are because our textbook only goes up to 2007! (cry)

and also, did anyone else do the police powers question and think 'what the hell is paul doing with earrings there...?!'

yes yes yes hahahaha

Hi there everyone. For those of you who answered the question b on magistrates' advantages in the legal system, did you also mention the disadvantages ?

It would be appreciated if you reply =)
