Leicester as both a University and city is so very friendly, one of the main reasons I chose Leicester.
•
The University is one of only two living war memorials in the country.
•
We have the second-largest law society in the country.
•
We have links to many of the well-respected law firms including from the golden circle and even placement opportunities with Solicitors which are exclusive to Leicester Law Students.
•
An award-winning legal advice clinic specialising in a range of areas which is really good for practical skills, this being part of the pro bono society which also have many more projects.
•
The teaching is of a very high quality, particularly in year 2, which is demonstrated by the university being rated gold in the latest Teaching Excellence Framework.
•
We are the Daily Mail's University of the year.
•
The majority of textbooks we use, particularly in year 2, are respected textbooks which are written by Leicester academics and largely our actual lecturers teaching us.
•
We have a range of different accommodations and for first-year students who apply before the 1st of September, they have guaranteed first-year accommodation. You can also live in university-managed accommodation after your first year if you so wish.
•
Land Law Lecture: finishing the topic of proprietary estoppel by looking at when the court will reward remedies for when there has been proprietary estoppel.
•
Criminal Law: finished the topic of Homicide by continuing looking at statutory homicide offences, specifically driving related offences, problems and proposals regarding reform around the law of homicide and such practice exercises looking at different fictional scenarios.
•
Criminal Law Reading- reading about the statutory offences of homicide including assisted suicide, infanticide, causing or allowing the death of a child or vulnerable adult and driving offences.
•
EU Law Reading- reading about internal taxation which is forbidden due to restricting the EU internal market.
•
Land Law Reading- continuing to read the chapter on proprietary estoppel covering detriment and reliance as part of promissory estoppel.
•
Equity and Trusts Reading- continuing the reading on resulting trusts. When will a resulting trust arise with a non-charitable unincorporated association, particularly where there is a contract.
•
Having also had feedback for my Equity and Trusts mock examination, I also went to see my marker to discuss the feedback in more detail.
•
Criminal Law Reading- In criminal law I finished reading the sections of the textbook on statutory homicide offences as well as the sections on reform of homicide law. It is interesting to consider how the way we label individuals as murderers or manslaughterers may not be fair and how a degree-level system comprising first-degree murder, second-degree murder and manslaughter may be better. My first impressions of this argument is that we may not need a degree-level system as the murder/manslaughter system may be satisfactory but maybe we just need to consider how to develop these two individual types of homicide. That is one of the fun things about a law degree, you are actively encouraged to argue your opinion (with evidence) and so in an exam I do not need to worry about preparing what the examiner wants to read, I just have to argue my point and why my point is correct and the opposing viewpoints are incorrect. This forms the basis of critical analysis.
•
EU Law Reading- I have continued looking at the free movement of goods and in particular measures having quantitative restrictions which are a type of non-fiscal barrier to international trade. These barriers are not allowed in the EU internal market.
•
Equity and Trusts Reading- Here I continue to look at resulting trusts, those trusts which result in property bouncing back when things may go wrong.
•
Land Law Reading- I continue to look at the elements of proprietary estoppel, mainly the idea of detrimental reliance. This is when someone promises you something such as living in a house for the rest of your life and so you rely on this statement by spending a lot of money on the said house.
•
Society Event- University is not all about study and at the University of Leicester we have over 200 student-led societies. Personally I am on the committee (and for some of these societies senior committee/president) for the Criminology Society, Christian Union, Pro Bono Society and Galaxy Radio, the student radio station. I will explain more about societies at a later date but on a Wednesday morning I host a society event, and in the afternoon many more society events take place.
•
Coffee with friend- at University there can be so much flexibility and this is particularly the case on a Wednesday for me. It is also good to have a break as it prevents you from burning out and is good for your mental health. I therefore went for coffee with a friend, not one I know from the University but one from the local community. This is why I like Leicester, everyone is so friendly.
•
Memrise- Memrise is a platform where you can learn languages but you can also create your own courses which I find really helpful to help me remember cases. I use this for Land Law and Equity and Trusts due to these being my two in-person closed-book exams in May.
•
Land Law- in today's Land Law lecture we have started a new topic looking at easements, we began looking at some of the essential criteria for an easement, including how they must be attached to the land, cannot be personal rights or give a business advantage but be a proprietary right which improves the land.
•
Criminal Law- we continued to look at secondary liability, colloquially known as Joint Enterprise, where we discussed where people who did not commit the crime but were in the surroundings would be liable for the same criminal offence.
•
Equity and Trusts- In today's Equity and Trust tutorial we were discussing exam style questions about resulting trusts and constructive trusts which parties do not set up themselves but instead operate by law to try and prevent unfair scenarios such as someone becoming the owner of property by accident.
•
Criminal Law- I continued to catch up on the reading looking at the defence of self-defence.
•
Land Law- Here I have continued reading about the mortgagee's rights as part of a mortgage on land.
•
EU Law- Here I have been reading about the free movement of people in the European Union including when they have the right to permanent residence in a different member state to their home member state.
•
Meeting about society- I have finished the workday off by discussing the radio society which I am the president of and will later be going shopping for another society for an event which I will be leading tomorrow morning.
•
This evening I will be bell ringing which I find is a great hobby to help me relax from university life.
