Preparing for a Job Interview.

It seems quite trendy these days to dress down and many organisations dedicate Fridays when workers can wear casual clothes. This is all very well once you are in employment but I suggest you take a different tack when applying for a job.
Most employers will make an instant analysis of you, not based on your CV but on your appearance as you walk in to the interview room. It may be superficial. It may be irrelevant to the skills you would bring to the job. It may be perceived by you as tiresome but you must remember that you are the prospective employee. As such you have no say and the employer holds all the cards, in particular to your future.

In effect you should view your personal presentation much like you do when house hunting. I know many realtors and estate agents who endorse the view that the outside appearance of the house is critical to the would-be house purchaser.
You don't even have to be house hunting in order for me to illustrate my point. Driving through a particular area or neighbourhood to visit friends, one particular house always has a very attractive garden. It is always neat and planted with highly coloured plants and shrubs. Colourful hanging baskets cascading nearly to the ground adorn the porch and walls of the house. The surrounding houses appear lacklustre and dowdy in comparison with unruly lawns and bare borders. They barely warrant a glance as I drive past them. If I was looking to purchase a house in that area and there were two on the market; the one with the maintained garden and one with an unkempt garden, no prizes for guessing which one I want to view. It may be superficial but I imagine that the one with the well-kept garden will also have an interior to match. I am attracted to that house to the detriment of the neighbouring one although I do not know how well kept the interior of the latter is. I make assumptions which may or may not be fair or founded in fact. The point is that I make the assumption at all.

Taking the analogy to your job interview, you will want to be viewed as the house with the meticulously kept garden. A pleasing, tidy, clean cut image will encourage the interviewers to enquire more about you. They will take the view that you automatically have more to offer and wish to engage with you. By taking time with your appearance they will deduce that you have shown them respect and that you will take time the same and care with your work. Turning up in a dishevelled and unkempt manner or in inappropriate clothing no matter how smart, will set the interview in a negative manner. It will be an uphill struggle for you to engage the interviewers no matter how qualified and suitable you are for the position. If you cannot be bothered to dress appropriately then why should the interviewers afford you any of their time?

So for the sake of a little attention to detail about your appearance you may squander a job opportunity. Take care with your appearance and give yourself a fighting chance of being offered that all important job.

Law Essay Writing: Learn the Formula

Writing an academic essay, particularly in law, is an acquired art. Unfortunately essay writing is not taught in law schools but it is not too late to learn how to write a competent law essay.

A law essay writing service can help you achieve your goals. In these competitive days it pays to have the edge on those around you. Essays can count towards your overall mark and performance and therefore impact your qualification.
You want to stand out from the crowd. How do you go about it? You could spend an inordinate amount of time writing the essay yourself. At the end your essay should be proofread by a reliable and competent proofreader who does more than merely check the spelling and grammar.

Alternatively you may be struggling to write the essay. Most students know the answer or possibilities to a question but have difficulty in structuring the essay. This is what lets them down in the final analysis with the examiner scratching his head and deciding which low mark to give the essay. Structure, content and presentation are everything.

A custom law essay written by a consummate professional is an invaluable aid to most students. An essay should be used as an example and research tool to assist the student to write his/her own essay. The essay should not be passed off as the student's own work. The student should study the layout of the essay and how the facts and arguments are presented. Students may be taught the law at college and university but they are not taught how to answer a question and write an essay.
Writing law essays has a particular formula which is not inherent in most people. It has to be taught but it rarely is, hence the rise and popularity of essay writing companies. Once students are taught how to approach and answer a question, that formula can be applied to other questions. Law is a topic which requires a particular approach when it comes to answering problem questions in particular.

Most students find problem questions, involving several facts in a given scenario, daunting. The facts can be complicated in themselves and often the question invites you to assess the liability of the characters involved. The general rule is that the law should be stated and applied but this is not as easy as it sounds. Once you have a custom law essay written for you then it all becomes clearer. Many students only ever require one custom essay as they can pick up the formula and apply it for themselves to future questions.

Beware Cheap Proofreaders

2012-10-10T04:00:00.003-07:00

The importance of proofreading cannot be exaggerated. You may think you have completed a very good piece of writing but it is always wise to let another person cast their eagle eye over it. Many people associate proofreading solely with correct spelling and grammar. It is easy for the writer to run a spell check and change UK English to American English or vice versa but that is only half the story.

Aside from correcting spelling and grammatical errors a professional proofreader will restructure you essay and suggest improvements. Maybe you have repeated yourself or failed to put across your conclusion in a coherent manner. A competent proofreader will spot these failings and other inconsistencies in your work. I have heard many students complain that their proofreader merely altered some spelling and swapped some commas for semi colons and were disappointed. Unfortunately there are proofreaders offering their services for ridiculously low prices and the old adage that, you generally get what you pay for, is as true for proofreading services as it is for buying products. I would not agree to proofread for a pittance but many people do. “Buyer beware” or “caveat emptor” alarm bells should be ringing loudly.

A competent proofreader cannot make a poor essay good but they can make a good essay great. In these competitive times obtaining a BA Hons 2(i) as against a 2 (ii) can make all the difference to your future education and career prospects. A sloppy conclusion can undo and deflect from earlier writing leaving the person marking it disappointed. In earlier blogs I have stated the importance of the conclusion primarily because it is the last thing which is read and is therefore fresh in the reader’s mind. It is amazing how many otherwise excellent essays are marked down because of a poorly written conclusion. A well written conclusion must not contain any information which has not been referred to earlier in the essay. It should be punchy in nature leaving the reader with a sense of fulfilment confident that you have understood the topic and given a thought provoking insight. Law essays in particular must show that the law quoted is current but it can also mention any possible law reforms. The average cheap proofreader will not be aware of this improvement to your essay and will miss the opportunity to improve your work.

Law essays require many references to court cases and academic authors and commentators. A proofreader who is not familiar with writing Law essay will not be aware of this fact and will fail to alert you that your references may be out of date, as the law is constantly being changed. A professional proofreader will ensure that your references are correct, using the Harvard, OSCOLA, Chicago and numerous other referencing styles.

If you want to enhance your prospects you should ensure that your essays and theses are proofread by a professional who will go the extra mile. . By rewriting parts of your work and restructuring its layout you can achieve that higher grade. Let a writer of Law essays proofread your Law essays and dissertation to put the final gloss on your work.

Accusing essay companies of cheating is sour grapes.

2010-02-13T10:05:00.000-08:00

The most vociferous critics come from the very academic establishments who are failing students in the first place.
If it wasn’t for the failing of academic institutions in assisting students with fundamental instruction in how to write a good essay, then there would not be a market for essay writing companies.

Essay writing companies did not create the need; they merely fulfilled a demand that already existed.
In recent times, everyone is aware of the increased demands that are expected of higher academic staff.
These increasing demands mean less time for tutorials and one to one tuition.
Law is a complex subject and writing a competent essay is an art which has to be mastered.

When students are turned away by pressured teaching staff or only offered inadequate assistance in the short time available, then students seek help from essay writing companies. Academic institutions recognising their shortcomings launch into vicious attacks on the companies accusing them of unethical conduct and their student clients are branded cheaters.

The attitude of the academia is unfortunate and unnecessary. Essay companies should not be seen as competitors to higher education establishments.
I recognise that there is insufficient time in each day for lecturers and tutors to undertake all their tasks and have spare capacity for student’s queries on composing essays.
Without this coaching, the lecture and course notes amassed by each student are meaningless.

Students are often daunted when faced with an essay question.
There are different types of essay and coursework; from having to discuss and comment on obiter dicta of a judge to extracting the legal liabilities of several characters in a given scenario. There are severable variables on each of these types of question too. Each one requires a different approach and way of thinking.
Essay companies assist by composing a model answer so that the student can study it and then write their own essay using the same format and methodology. They will learn how to write their own essays with the information given.

The companies have no control over how the student uses the essay and can only point to the terms and conditions on their website. They are not unique in their lack of control.
Car manufacturers have no control over the manner and speed at which their cars are driven.
Sellers of knives have no control if a buyer uses it to stab someone rather than for peeling potatoes. Yet there is no clamour to ban knives or cars. Essay companies should be afforded the same treatment.

Accusing essay companies of cheating is sour grapes.

What the examiner is looking for.

2009-09-14T10:42:00.000-07:00

Most students think that the main concern for an examiner is to ascertain that the student knows the law.
Knowing the law is one matter but applying it is rather different.
Knowing the law implies that the student knows the meaning of a statute, can evaluate common law principles and understand the meaning of each provision.
However understanding a statute as a stand alone document is one matter but applying its provisions to a set of given facts is entirely another matter.
The whole point of an examination question is for the student to demonstrate knowledge of the application of the law to a set of facts. It is not sufficient for the student to reproduce the law without applying it.

Issues for the unwary.

It is only in very rare circumstances that a whole set of facts will mirror a well known decided case, but sometimes some aspects of the facts will be very similar to those of a decided case.
Examiners are looking to ensure that students are up to date with developments in the law. Therefore if the student refers to a decided case as authority for a proposal, it is important to be aware if that case has been referred to appeal. If it has been so referred, the student should acknowledge this so that it is apparent that the student is aware that the case may be overturned.

Examiners are also keen to establish whether students are aware if legislation is subject to an imminent review by way of a law commission enquiry or whether various academics are uneasy with the state of the law. Students who show such initiative will be rewarded by the examiner. Students’ knowledge of such aspects can often mean the difference between a 1st and 2:1 which in turn can affect their future career.

Before discussing a recent piece of legislation which may not have been subjected to judicial discussion or academic commentary, it would be prudent for the student to ascertain the purpose of the legislation. There is often commentary in Hansard when the legislation reaches the committee stage and this will highlight any concerns or questions that the committee members may have which will often provide a clue as to the “wrong or mischief” which the legislation is aiming to correct. Establishing the purpose of the legislation will enable the student to give an informed opinion as to the effect of the legislation of the facts of his or her case.

TACKLING A LAW EXAMINATION

2009-09-06T11:33:00.000-07:00

Writing a Law Essay particularly under examination conditions, can be daunting and students often panic, resulting in a poorly written essay.
There are some cardinal rules which, if followed, will ensure that a well constructed essay is written.
The student will usually be faced with 2 types of examination questions.
Either there will be a problem type question, with a scenario involving various characters and the question will ask you to advise the various parties on their respective liabilities.
In this case the facts can be vague in certain respects which invites the student to explore the vague areas which arise. It is important that students do not invent facts just because they happen to know the answer.

EXAMPLE.

Paul is having a drink in his local bar and Nancy approaches the bar with Rob her boyfriend in close pursuit. Rob is shouting at her and she jostles Paul as she attempts to find a space at the bar causing him to spill some of his beer. Rob (walking in a swaying way) is now right behind her and Paul mutters something to him about hooligans in the bar. Rob is inflamed at this remark and he raises his arm in which he has an empty beer glass intending to strike Paul on his shoulder but he misses him and instead he strikes Nancy on her head and her hair slide shatters the glass which causes a severe gash in her head.
NOTE, the inclusion of the words in bold are intended to make the student consider whether intoxication might be a defence for Rob against a charge of causing grievous bodily harm.
If the bold words are missing then the student should not mention intoxication.
If the question mentioned that Rob had been drinking heavily in the morning but didn’t mention that he was walking in a swaying manner, then you should consider the question of intoxication but you might be able to state that it is not applicable as Rob shows no signs of being intoxicated at the time the offence was commissioned.

It is important to read the facts more than once so that the student can absorb each fact as the addition or omission of one word can radically alter the facts and therefore the answer.
If there are at least 3 characters involved it is often a good idea to jot down the facts concerning each one and then consider their overall part in the scenario.
Each character’s part should be considered in a logical fashion, and both the mens rea and actus reus of any offence should be stated, followed by any defences.
As the scenarios are not always precise and are often ambiguous, the examiner is not necessarily looking for a definite conclusion as to the guilt or innocence of a character. However students should not sit on the fence but should endeavour to expand the answers so that each scenario is fully explored.
This should lead the student to reach a likely preferred/solution when weighing up the various factors.
The aim of this type of question is to find out if the student can logically apply the law to facts and present them in a coherent sequence whilst exploring other relevant avenues to ensure a well rounded and encompassing reply.

The other type of question often involves a statement or quotation by a learned judge or respected academic commentator. The question then asks you whether you agree; or analyse or discuss.
This will involve the student in answering in a different format to the above problem scenario, but it is important to not lose sight of the direction of the question.
If for example the quotation asks you to analyse the case of Donoghue v Stevenson and how the law of tort has developed since this case, then it is all too easy for students to write everything they know about negligence and foreseeability in a narrative non evaluative way.
It is critical to keep the words “analyse” or “discuss” at the forefront of your mind as this will involve much more than a potted history of the law of negligence. Instead you will have to weigh up factors and evaluate why the law has developed in such a way, indicating learned reasoning and illustrating your view with case law.
If you are asked to discuss then you must consider the statement from numerous angles but discussions should be considered in a logical way and within a structured framework. So in the above case of Donoghue v Stevenson you should discuss its impact through case law and any legislation and also discuss instances where it may have been distinguished.

Often answering non problem scenario questions can seem like the easier option but answers can still be muddled and unfocused.
If you are asked for a view, it is permissible to give other learned academic’s views but you must reach your own conclusion based on your own reasoning and not just agree with a particular academic for the reasons he/she has given.

IMPORTANCE OF PROOFREADING YOUR ESSAY

2009-07-19T08:01:00.000-07:00

Students often struggle to write their essays and are exhausted and relieved when they finally finish. Their next step is to send it to the examiner but in doing so they have overlooked one very important step: proofreading. The proofreader can give an objective viewpoint and is an important link buffering the student from the examiner.

Sometimes, I wonder if the students actually read their University Guidelines for submitting essays. Often essays lack page numbers and the referencing style is different to the one stipulated. The word count is vital and students will lose marks for exceeding the word limit. Pay attention to what is included in the word count; often footnotes are included but wording within diagrams or tables and the bibliography/references are not. The guidelines must be followed and your adherence will be an indication to the examiner of your attention to detail.

Often all the points required to answer the question are included, but the grammar, spelling, structure and emphasis are sub standard. This will lead to critical marks being lost. It is important to let a professional proofreader cast an eye over the essay. Apart from correcting the obvious spelling and grammatical errors, they can suggest a change in structure and the way in which an argument is developed. They can also point out if sources are relied on too heavily without any original thoughts from the writer.
I cannot stress the importance of structure and grammar in an essay.
I am still amazed at the regularity with which students neglect the basic foundations of an introduction and conclusion. Without the basic structure, readers are often left mesmerised struggling to make sense and relevance of the points made.
Often students start developing their main arguments, ignoring the need for a few sentences which should set the scene and explain briefly how the essay will be developed. The reader should be able to absorb and analyse what the student has written whilst being clear on how the essay will be developed.

In their desire to write all the salient points the argument is often overlooked or lost. Students forget that the conclusion is the last part of the essay to be read. It is fresh in the mind of the examiner and a confusing or meaningless conclusion will undermine what may otherwise be a well written piece of work.

A well written essay can also be marred by a lack of attention to detail. Repetition is a major failing whereas emphasis is not. Repetition involves repeating the same point albeit using slightly different wording in an almost gratuitous fashion. The use of emphasis involves using the same point but in a different way so that the argument within the essay is enhanced.

2009-07-19T05:46:00.000-07:00

After several enquiries from students I have decided to start an essay bank.
If you go to http://www.law-essay.com/ you will see the item under Products.
It is in its infancy and will take a great deal of work (from me!).
I will not resell any essays which I have written as a custom essay for clients.

It will not be a model essay answer in the traditional sense, but will be based on various scenarios which crop up frequently in examinations.
Students should be able to grasp the basic principles from the scenarios even if their facts are not the same. The essays will also address what students should look out for in a question and how they should address the topic in question and structure their answers.

More details will be provided shortly.

HOW TO WRITE A LAW ESSAY

2008-03-01T11:59:00.000-08:00

How To Write a Law Essay

Law Essays require a certain style and format if they are to be written effectively.

Be Clear
As with most essays, it is critical to read and understand the question and be clear what you have been asked. This may sound obvious but all too often essays are given low marks because the question is not actually answered.

Identify Subject Matter
The first thing is to clarify the subject matter so that you identify the area of law that is being addressed.
Sometimes this will be obvious as when the question asks about the differences between an offer and an invitation to treat which will direct you towards the law of Contract.
However, sometimes the question is more obscure and this requires more effort in determining what the subject matter is and might involve looking at more than one area of the law. If a question asks about the terror laws, then this may well span human rights and constitutional law too.

Identify the Approach
This is absolutely vital when answering a question.
Often the essay will ask you to evaluate something; reflect on something; write a critique; discuss a particular statement; reflect on a judge’s particular statement in a case, or discuss the impact of a case on an area of law. If a question asks you to compare more than one thing, then you must identify the similarities and differences between them, and ideally reach a conclusion as to which one you think is preferable. If a question asks you to discuss something then you must study and comment on it from all viewpoints, and reach your own conclusion.

Prepare the Structure
The structure of the essay is extremely important.
If an essay exceeds 10,000 words, a contents page and chapter headings should be included and, even in shorter essays, it might be appropriate to set out chapter headings. Chapters are relevant where the answer straddles a wide area of law and addresses several areas. Chapters help focus both the writer and the reader on what is being discussed and maintain focus.
One major criticism of law essays is that they drift from the main topic and angle that they are meant to address, and the thread and point are lost.
Another criticism is that the writer tends to just list the legislation and discuss the topic without containing any incisive opinions of the writer. An introduction and conclusion should be included.

Sources
Make sure that your sources are current; this is vital because quite often questions are written which are impacted by recent changes or even proposed changes in the law. So a question on Control Orders should be looked at in the light of the proposed increase in detention periods and the impact on human rights.

Citation
The correct referencing should be used consistently throughout. It is vital to give credit when quoting someone else, otherwise the essay may be plagiarised. It is never acceptable to cut and paste from the internet. Neither should you copy directly from a book unless you give the appropriate credit. Copying huge sections, even if credit is given, will not be looked upon favourably. The examiner will be looking for the writer’s comments and own views and opinions, based on a sound interpretation of the law and thorough research.
The examiner will be looking to see that the writer has researched several resources.
References to case law must be relevant and illustrative. Remember to include a full bibliography.
