I don't know if it's practical to condemn the use of manuals though. If the likes of Griffith et al didn't offer FE-1 prep courses, people would mainly use Craig and de Burca and/or nutshells to prepare, so the answers would be pretty similar anyway. We'd have even less time to read cases too and it would still be a case of regurgitating what we know and possibly not answering the questions asked. I don't think that he can lay the blame at the manual's door.
I'd love to get a question like the one on the Courts in the last sitting. The answer is practically all in the Treaties so it would be sweet.
