9. some of the documents are in the newer word format (docx) so you will either need word 2007 or the plugin for word 2003

   Reply ↓

10. Wow, thats an extensive amount of notes. Did you read through all of it during your time at Bloomsbury or did most of it get added after you did your analysis? I just have trouble seeing someone comprehend all of those notes and recite them for the test.

39. Hi, your notes are fab and very helpful!! but I was wondering if you have any notes on Wills and Administration of estates?? as I am really struggling with this topic.

    Thank you.

    Reply ↓

40. Hey lubz, Yes I rem how much of a pain that was, but once you crack the formula’s its…easier! unfortunately the notes I have for this are still in ‘pseudo’ format and based around the workshops and textbook. So they wont be of use to you unless you are at College of Law and ofc you will need to update them with changes since when I done it just over a year ago now.

    Reply ↓

41. Love the notes- do you having anything for solicitors accounts- exam next week and kinda worried!

    Reply ↓

42. Hey JPH the notes I have are just answers ti the workshop questions, the best way to prep is practice practice practice ! and if you at College of Law Bloomsbury GO TO JO’S REVISION CLASSES!!! (woman teaches this property and prob more topics by now and she was just awesome …got distinction in all her classes!)

    Reply ↓

43. hey,

44. I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR YOU NOTES!!!! THANKYOUUUUUUUUU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the work!! you have no idea just how much of a help they are 🙂

    • Hey from memory its talking about service contract to directors for greater than 2 yrs.

      Suggest you whip out the companies act 2006 s188/288 to verify the wordings.

50. Yes I thought so, but just wanted to confirm.
    Thanks

51. Hi, I was in a right panic about the exams and then came accross you webiste. What a gift!! One question is what notes are best for me to work off for my civ lit assessment in one week.

    I used the criminal ones and feel must better.

    thanks Lisa

    Reply ↓

52. Your a life saver my luv and a real gift.
    One question what are the best notes to use for civ lit? I am in a terrible state with it all at the moment.
    Do not understand pt 36 as I have got a mental bloke.

    Reply ↓

53. Sorry i meant mental block not bloke i told you I was in a state. lol

    Reply ↓

54. Hey Lisa… I did this about 2 yrs ago (wow I feel old!) so you have to remember that these notes may be (and are) dated in parts.

    Civ Lit notes I would say ‘CivLit Revision M1.3.docx’ Those the ones I wrote; though other notes my friends gave to me are written in different styles; tackle topics differently. Just give all the different types a look and see which you prefer.

    Good luck with the exams and LOADS of luck with a training contract….trust me it aint easy 😉

    Reply ↓

55. Do you possibly have any electives notes? your notes for the compulsary subjects were a godsend!!! 🙂

    Reply ↓

    • Hi Sandy; Elective notes I got lazy around then and the only ones I have are directly linked to workshop slides are the such. SO not of much use unless you have the same structure. Saying that I know College of Law have changed it so would not be of use unfortunately.

      Reply ↓

56. Hi, do you have any notes on Solicitor’s Accounts??
    Thank You

    Reply ↓

57. Have an exam in 10 days.Desperate for revision tips on Wills and administration of states.Please help

    Reply ↓

58. um hi, i feel so weird doing this and i can’t believe how generous you are being, but do you have any wills / solicitors accounts notes by any chance? and yep i’m at college of law. and god i wish i WISH i could donate to you, but ahhaha i had my credit card confiscated due to overdraft fees. cheers 11,000£ education. Thank you you superior being.

    Reply ↓

59. Hey Alexander,

    for solicitor accounts, I just recommend practice practice, use the examples in the book and if Jo is doing a revision session GO TO IT. I cannot stress that enough… Jo = GOOD, her revisions sessions WILL save you!

    Though I have the templates for CGT/IHT and Income tax etc above (update the figures) that will be useful and keep SRA rules in mind to.

    For Wills and Probate, I dont know when your exam is though i’m in the process of setting up my legal site which will talk a bit about Wills and Probate. Bookmark this page it will redirect to the new site when it’s up in hopefully a few weeks,

    Notes wise I suggest you make a table for Accounts something like:

    Transactions:
    Expenses incurred Income earned
    Asset gained Asset lost
    Liability Reduced / Extinguished Liability Incurred / Increased
    Cash Gained Cash Paid

    Capital = asset
    loan = DR cash CR loan
    Buy on credit = DR purchase CR company not DR goods
    Initial capital (cash)+ assets = new capital

    Make a list what Needs a CR and DR etc for each type of transaction.

    For Wills and probate the table s in the iTutorials …. study them religiously!

60. Hi I am due to start my LPC full time at CoL – Guildford in Sept so will be taking a look over these notes that everyone on here is raving about. But I would just like to say that I think it is great that you have chosen to share your notes to help others and I think I will do the same when I have finished.

    Reply ↓

    • Sounds good Sam,

      These notes are dated now about 2years or so. While a lot may be still relevant a lot (esp in business) will have changed.

      If you feel like sharing the notes around be my guest and if you wish to add your notes to the list after your done i’ll be more than happy to host them here and give credit.

      Reply ↓

61. Salaam. Have just come across this thanks to a friend- am starting the LPC in September. Most people on the blog have said this already but this is amazingly generous of you. Hope you succeed in whatever you do inshAllah 🙂

    What tips would you offer to someone just starting in hindsight … any handy methods to stay on top of things, or things to look out for etc? 🙂

    Reply ↓

    • w/salaam and inshallah. Tips:

      Go to the extra tutorials when you can they help.
      Explain scenarios to mates, explaining a point helps you understand I find.
      Start applying for TC’s ASAP.
      Work hard though remember to take breaks as well. Also dont forget to network within your classes and out. Contacts help in the future.

      Good luck

74. Hi Arfan! You are amazing, thank you for your generousity! May be a silly question but the law wud be the same for corporate and commercial route, so wud it only be the scenarios that ares diff? Ie case studies? Cuz I’m doing corporate…
    Thanks so much again. Eid Mubarak!

    Reply ↓

    • Eid Mubarak Manal, I cant really say the difference between Commerical and Corporate, however the common modules should be the same material.

      Reply ↓

75. Thanks so much for this, it’s so helpful and nice of you. do you have any tips for the solictors account exam? i.e. the comprehension part with the sra account rules? thanks!

    Reply ↓

    • In my accounts exam I forgot my handbook :S but if you remember the basic rules and the examples give in the tutorials you should be fine!

      Reply ↓

      • thanks arfan. just one more question! i’m really nervous about the PLR assessment (i’m at COL bloomsbury). I know it’s judged competent/not competent but how easy would say it is to get a pass after having done it yourself? my questions are awful for it so i’m worried

        Reply ↓

        • They do tend to be 😛 but dont worry to much about PLR, the answer is always out there and “easy” to find once you know how to use the tools.

          Go to one of the library brush up sessions, and make notes of how to use all the items to find and research etc.

          I barely rem my PLR assessment (So I must have passed it!) think logically of the problem and hit the books and lexnexis you should be golden. Key to all the exams is to relax, you being stressed wont help you!

          Reply ↓

76. Hi,

    How do I download your notes?! 🙂 Willing to donate.

    Reply ↓

    • Hi M, donate button has been broken for years (dont think it ever worked!) so just donate to a charity in my name 😉

105. hi. ithanks for the notes and may prayers for ur success. I am on lpc programme now. I can see there is a new version of notes by shahd amin. were these made for 2012/13 LPC programme?
     so the law is pretty much up to date?

     Reply ↓

     • Never assume the law is up to date as it always changes. Though the notes should be a good base to build your own notes on.

       Reply ↓

106. im confused can i still use your notes or shall i use Shahd Amins?

     Reply ↓

     • Ms Amins are more up to date so if she covers the topic use hers. Use mine as a fallback.
