"The cynic in me thinks it may be an indirect attempt to > reward people with law degrees now that there are less job > opportunities available."
I don't think anyone thinks like this in the law society. If they did, they would operate a stricter approach to exemptions from the Preliminary Examination. I think it is just down to the examiners and the general impression that question which involve a straight forward "essay" (i.e. write an essay on the Statute of Frauds etc) don't really test anyone in any relevant sense. Re the examiners, don't forget that the "examiner" is not the only focus - there are the assistant examiners, some of whom are solicitors, some of whom are not. A full list is here:- http://www.lawsociety.ie/documents/education/hbs/fe1examiners.pdf It certainly raises some questions as to consistency between the examiners, and the roles of assistant examiners etc. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "FE-1 Study Group" group.
