Having studied law for 5 years, I know that understanding cases, reading long articles, and developing analytical skills, can be difficult. Especially at the beginning of your studies. I also understand the stress of exams and figuring out how you can fit all of that information into your brain! In these lessons we can go through topics from your classes that you found difficult, work on how to prepare for a law exam, how to understand cases and analyse them, and more.
