Highly Comprehensive Criminal Law Script/Exam Notes (HD 76)

Description

These notes which contain all legislation and relevant cases are formatted through headings and sub headings that make the notes very easy to follow and understand for an exam situation. These headings/sub-headings are framed as yes/no questions and include model responses with colour coded fill in the blanks depending on whether the answer to the question is yes or no (see sample notes for demonstration). Whilst this method of notes construction was incredibly arduous for myself, it provides for a clear understanding of how the legislation applies to a problem question and ensures a complete answer is written. With these methodically crafted notes, which allowed me to compartmentalise my deep understanding of the content into exam-ready responses, you will be able to succeed in any criminal law & procedure exam and save countless hours trying to understand content and make notes for this exam. The preliminary parts of these notes include a two page summary document: one for criminal procedure and the second for all offences/defences (page 2-3). They also include a guide to structuring answers depending on whether the question relates to Criminal Procedure, a single offender or multiple offenders (page 4-5) These comprehensive notes (my personal criminal law bible) will serve be the best asset to your learning and your ability to excel in criminal law & procedure. I have structured these notes as follows: How to structure your responses in an e-exam 4 Criminal Procedure 6 Initiating Proceedings (bringing a charge) 6 Did [PO/PSO/citzen] possess a Right to Arrest [D]? 6 Was the arrest executed lawfully?
