Law exam in january

hiya i have a law exam in january i'm in my first year i was just wondering how you would revise for constitutional law as its quite a hard topic to grasp and to remember key information. Any advice would be highly appreciated and if anyone is currently studying for this topic we could chat as well, thanks!

Read Wade, or de Smith, or at the least Sumption's recent introduction to the Bill of Rights. Read the GCHQ case and Miller 2.

Approach the Constitution through history. 1649 is important, but 1688 is more important.

Next stop: 1832.

Then 1867, 1884, 1918, 1928, 1972, 2018.

Bagehot is out of date, but still worth a read.

I am sorry to be blunt, but if you find the law of the Constitution difficult, you may be in for a shock when you get to Equity and Trusts.

Hello,

I studied Constitutional law last year and had a multiple choice exam in January. For me this was an open book exam but its still important to revise.

Making use of the LawExpress and Concentrate revision guides was very useful to me and helped me comprehend the knowledge and draw connections. If you are struggling to understand or remember any of the content it is very useful to try a different textbook. I would highly recommend public law directions.

If you have any further questions please do let me know!
