I handed in my Blackstones book last week and I've never even cracked the spine on it. Is there stuff on the compostion of the institutions and the courts in it? That would be a huge help. Today I'm prioritising four areas: Institutions, FM Goods, FM Workers/ Establishment/Services and the Principle of Equality. I am absolutely banking on getting one question on each and that I will actually understand the question. I will also have a 5th-question-standard knowledge of direct effect, supremacy, sources of law and Art 234. This could go so badly wrong.
