No doubt it is, but still - 10 references for a 2500 word essay?

Nonetheless, the majority of citations are usually not judgments but journals and books. Judgments are pretty limited when you are given specific titles (ie on legal constitution)

it's topic dependent, as you suggest. I wrote my master's dissertation on something that was too specific and obscure to have generated much relevant secondary literature, so the majority of my citations were just page numbers and paragraphs of (often the same handful of) judgments.

Research is important, but originality doesn't hurt, if you do it right.

Depends on the subject. I once wrote 8000/9000 words in one day. But that was for Camp NaNoWriMo so it was something I really enjoyed doing... :P

10 references?!
And there was me worrying that my latest essay, 2000 words, totally rushed in 6 days was lacking references... only 57 compared to my usual 100 or so.

I'd agree to that last part, in my 4 pieces of coursework, and my research project; I have cited a judgement... once!
Actually hold on, that was a EU commission decision lol.

40 articles for one essay is a bit excessive. Maximum I've ever used for a uni history essay is 15, average tends to be 10, and I'm averaging a first.

Are you referring to a dissertation?

O.o

I'm on a distance learning access course, so not even a degree, and my last essay (2500 words, written in 3 days) had 55 references, almost all of which were journal articles that I'd at the very least skimmed through.

I'm guessing you're doing a module in criminal law? If so, how is it?
