JANUARY/FEBRUARY 1990

tinuous - assessment examination

in Commercial Law, will constitute

the Final Examination - Second

Part.

. . at the end of each of the

major modules, there will be a

three hour written paper."

The standard for these examina-

tions will be such that the

apprentices will have to work hard

during the Professional Course in

order to pass them. Candidates

who fail to pass any examination

will be expected to repeat the

examination. Continuing failure will

mean that a candidate will not be

able to attend on the Advanced

Course appropriate to his or her

Professional Course.

Examiners

The examination papers will be

corrected by Examiners especially

appointed for this function. An

advertisement for Examiners

appeared in the December issue of

the Gazette, and applications are

still invited.

Premises

All eight rooms over the lecture hall

are now available for tutorials. Work

is now in progress in the gym to

enable that building to accommo-

date a larger number of students

than heretofore. The gym is being

equipped with four concertina-type

dividers which will allow it to be

divided into five tutorial rooms.

This involves the removal of the

stage.

More so than ever before, the

continuing success of the Law

School depends on the willingness

of members of the profession to

contribute at least a modicum of

their time as either a consultant or

tutor in their particular areas of

practice. The Law Society's Pro-

fessional Course is now regarded

internationally as a model for

Solicitors' training in the Common

Law World; it is hoped that this

status will be materialised, and so

ensure the high standards of

professional conduct and expertise

which both the public and the

profession have every right to

expect.

Academic Law Sub-Stratum

The Professional Course examina-

tions will constitute the Final

Examination - Second Part. In this

regard, due recognition will be giv-

en to the fact that the apprentices

will either have passed or been

exampted from the Final Examina-

tion - First Part, and will be

expected to have a familiarity with

the core subjects for that examina-

tion.

It is unavoidable that in Litigation

there will be repeated reference to

Tort and Contract, in Conveyancing

there will be repeated reference to

Real Property Law, and in Com-

mercial Law there will be reference

to Company Law. Accordingly, a

knowledge of the subjects con-

stituting the Final Examination -

First Part will be indispensable for

a proper understanding of the

Professional Course, and, unavoid-

ably, for a proper approach to the

xaminations which constitute the

principal mode of testing.

In certain subjects, which the

students will not have encountered

before, there will be an even greater

emphasis on academic law. These

subjects include, Family Law,

Labour Law, Landlord and Tenant

Law, Ground Rents, Social Welfare

Law, and Capital Tax.
