techniques and evaluate and assess their progress. The book is
divided into chapters covering each major topic on law courses, and
contains around fifty questions and answers designed to test even the
best prepared student. Each chapter contains an introduction focusing
on important legal aspects, and flowcharts are used to clarify issues
and aid analysis. After every question there is a commentary
highlighting key points, followed by bullet-pointed answer plans, and
finally a model answer. The book opens with an introductory chapter
providing guidance on examination technique and the best approach to
land law questions in general. Throughout the book, the authors
discuss the most effective techniques for writing examination answers
and tackling legal problems, showing exactly what the examiners are
looking for.
