Overview

"""SWOT"" books are a series of study aids for law students, covering law subjects at every level, from A level and degree level to LPC and Bar exams. They point out the problems which are encountered by the student throughout the course, indicating the common pitfalls which contribute to under-achievement or failure in exams. ""SWOT"" books are written by experienced law lecturers who are themselves examiners. Years of watching students make the same mistakes time after time have convinced them that these mistakes could be avoided if students followed a carefully structured approach to exam technique. The book should enable readers to face their exams with confidence and increase their chances of success. Conveyancing is one of those subjects which suffers from a formidable reputation. Students often start their study with a certain amount of dread only to have that feeling reinforced within the first few lectures. It need not be like that. The author attempts to show that the key to conveyancing is a step-by-step approach. With this approach and with the aid of simple diagrams, even the most complex conveyancing situations can be broken down into understandable concepts. With understanding will come the ability to tackle exams perhaps not with glee, but certainly with confidence."
