Hi everyone,
I am currently in my second year of Law and I unfortunately failed my criminal law module by 0.2% last year making it 39 out of the required 40.
Fine, just retake it during summer, right? Well sadly I was unable as I was abroad at the time.
The University gave me a choice to carry on with a failed module and have to retake the module after I graduate.
So I would be graduating with a law degree, and then have to retake it during the summer of my graduation.
Now I’m kind of stressing out as I’m worried about my options... What if I fail it again like in my first year. Can I now never become a practising lawyer ever? Because I don’t have a qualifying law degree?
Are there any exceptions? A place to appeal? I mean I failed by a mere .2%... and some other questions that came to my mind, would the criminal law exam be of the same difficulty for a first year student or would it adjust to a third year student criminal law exam? And does it mean I retake the entire criminal law module or just the exam? As I failed the exam but passed the coursework.
Sorry for all these questions, I just want to know what could happen worse case scenario.
