Meeting of
Examiners and of
Law Students
The Liaison Committee arranged a meeting between
students and examiners in the Library of the Law Society
on Thursday 18 January 1973. Mr. Brian O'Reilly was
in the chair.
The examiners present were : Mr. John Matthews,
Conveyancing and Registration of Title; Mr. Michael
O'Mahony, Criminal Law and Evidence, and Tort;
Mr. T. C. Smyth, Real Property and Statutory Land
Law.
The large number attending heard Mr. Smyth
charge candidates for the Property Examination to
keep their answers to the point of the questions on the
paper. He advised candidates in the Land Law paper
to read the questions very carefully, as he had found in
the last examination some students had mis-interpreted
at least one question on the paper.
Mr. Matthews reassured candidates that the exam-
ination in Conveyancing would be straightforward and
that it would follow Mr. Buckley's course (as all candi-
dates for next February's Conveyancing examination
have attended Mr. Buckley's course only).
Mr. O'Mahony tendered some advice to First Year
Students. He warned that the First Law was extremely
hard, and the best thing to do was to read thoroughly
the main books on the course. As regards Tort he
advised them to read James on Tort, perhaps three
times quickly and then read Salmond once to get a
different slant. With respect to Criminal Law and
Evidence, he said that "Nutshells" were fine provided
the student used them
after
he knew what was in the
text books.
The examiners very kindly answered questions put
by the students.
