Yeah i have 5 done, just kinda plodding away through them. Working full time and attempting to keep sane while doing the FE1's is no easy task but enough of the self pity;) No law degree but i've read a couple of old Tort books etc and a few Griffith manuals for the others that were floating around the office. It's a bit mix and match so i wouldn't mind something....solid if that's the correct phrase.
The manuals aren't really the thing although they would help, it's more going over how to actually spot the topics etc etc. As a non-law grad i find that side of things pretty tough. It sounds pretty decent though,so might give it a shot alright, thanks very much for the advice!
