Welcome to my ATI / ACCA / CPA law cram/notes booklet, before I go on, I will just explain that not every topic in the ATI / ACCA / CPA exams is covered in this book but probably 70% of the major areas are, (this is a revision and cram booklet, not a textbook).  I teach ATI & CPA law and ethics and business management and have found that putting notes together for my students has proved invaluable and also helps me to ensure that no areas are left unstudied.

The primary aim of law revision is to prepare yourself for the exams ahead, these law notes have all of the relevant topics you need to pass your ATI / ACCA / CPA exam, of course you must have the information in the first place so ensure you have bought a good law manual, (my business law book, which covers ALL of the ATI / ACCA / CPA modules and LO’s, An Introduction to Business Law is available on Amazon)

It is vital that you prepare your study time using a study planner, (laid out below). Type or rewrite your lecture or book notes, (do not highlight) you learn easier and quicker when you are writing the notes, ensure that you use your textbook alongside your notes; this ensures you go back to cases etc. (I have not put many cases in these notes, these are notes not executive summaries)

Leave room in your notes for addendums and highlight those, use as little highlighting as possible, this ensure that your brain focuses on the highlights not merely sweeping by a whole page of highlights.

Doodle, yes doodle, draw little reminders, draw aspects which you can easily remember, use word association such as in the law of contract one case which dealt with the illegal sale of birds, was Partridge v Crittenden, a partridge is a bird….

Case names are very important, however it is just as important to know the facts of the case, and the ruling in the case, so I would suggest you read as many articles (and your textbooks) on each case, do your own notes and addendums, and be sure to write down the ruling.

Learning law is like learning a new language, so understand that you need to be immersed in it, to grasp it, read as many legal articles as you can, legal journals, find areas of law which really interest you. And my number one numer ono, numer jeden, get out and have some fun, it is okay to have a life, to have fun, hang out with your friends, just remember that all work and no play makes…….

Exam notes, cram notes or study notes – whatever you call them, they are the saviour for some law students. Instead of concentrating on exams many law students spent a large proportion of their study time preparing notes and flashcards. That’s where our law cram notes comes in, we take care of all of your important and precedent notes and cases, all prepared and put into modules.  Also included are Multiple Choice questions AND Answers, over 250 carefully chosen and selected MCQs to help you pass your exams.

Although I am now retired from teaching I still keep abreast of legal issues and updating books are required.  If you would like more detailed explanations of each module you can visit my website teresaclyne.com where you will get details of some of my other books including the Law of Contract, The Law of Tort, The Irish Legal System, Company Law and Business Law manuals.
