Love it! Good luck with your essays :)
This was incredibly helpful! Thanks, Gareth! 😊
Thanks for watching!!
Just started my Year 1 in Law - so grateful to have come across this video. Thank you! (:
Thanks for watching! :D

@@emanaslam786Hi
So thankful for this !
Glad you found it useful :)
Really appreciate this insight! Thank you.
No worries, glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much! I need this for my Law masters.
No worries - good luck with your masters! 😁
Thank you so much for this!!!!
No problem 😊
thank you sir for a helpful lecture. grateful.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Just started my first year of a BA in Jurisprudence, so this is very useful, thank you!
Happy to hear you found the video useful!
Really enjoyed this video Gareth! Would it be possible to upload some videos of commenting on different first class essays, i know there is a link in the description but perhaps you could compare it with a 2:1 and 2:2 essay in a video?
Thanks! That's a great idea - I'll add that to my list of potential videos to make as I'm sure that could be of use to lots of people 😁
@@heygarethevans please!😂
@@Caribbeanmystic 😂
I would like to thank you for this informative and in-depth explanation of essay writing, now I know where my errors are.
You're very welcome!
In the conclusion, what are some of the ways to restate our thesis statement?
Tysm Gareth, this really helped me with my first semester assessments, I'm giving it my all to secure a first class honours so I can get into UCL for masters.
No worries and good luck! Let me know if you need any advice with anything 👌
Thank you so much
😊
No worries!
How do I do research if the exam is in person and not open book?
This is my first time watching your video and, truth be told, it has enlightened me which im very grateful for....
But I'll like to know what do to or how to pressnt your argument or essay when you forget some important cases, the cases' names and other supporting evidence
Giving the specific name of a case isn't that important. If you can say something like 'this is supported by a case, which found...' then the examiner isn't going to mark you down for that.
If you're really struggling to think of supporting evidence, at least try to share your opinion and not sit on the fence
@heygarethevans thank you so much for this❤
Hi Gareth hope you're doing well, this has really provided an insight into general essay writing, but just had a question regarding timed essays. How would you incorporate what is discussed in the video? What would be the changes to ensure that the quality of the essay does not deteriorate?
When doing timed essays, 80% of the results come from understanding the question + the planning. So spend 5 minutes breaking down the question so you know EXACTLY what it says and to ensure you actually answer the question - this is really where most people go wrong for timed essays and 2) create a coherent plan that answers the question, which should only be 3 or 4 points. The only real difference between this and a timed essay is that the research should already be in your head or clearly layed out in front of you (if an open book exam). Is there a particular part of the process you struggle with?
U r amazing !!!
That's very kind of you to say, thank you!!
Is there any chance I could get a hold of that 'Essay Plan' notion template?
Sure! You can download it here: www.gareth-evans.com/the-art-of-writing-first-class-law-essays/ :)
Can you help me with this one
'despite parliament's Supremacy, it is clear that judges make the law.'
This may not work for timed essay writing in an exam, where you must reference as well. We do not get our exam question beforehand, just some readings.
Yeah agreed, this is largely for non-timed essay writing - thanks for the clarification
Hiiii I really hope you see this comment. I am in my first year of LLB at UCL. This video has helped me out alot regarding how to structure my essay. But I still have some troubles with referencing and other things. It would mean the world to me if I could speak to you somehow and get a little help.
What in particular are you struggling with when it comes to the referencing?
Hi.
I am on your website (digestible notes) and can't see administrative law. I also can't see judicial review case.
Also, I can't see public law.
I really need judicial review anf administrative law as I am taking the bar this year in Mauritius. Our legal system is a hybrid between English and French law. How adminiatrative law is fully English and derives its sources fro exactly the same cases as England; the GCHQ case, Wednesbury unreasonableness, Anderson v Liversidge.
I thus really need your website.
Believe me: you've been extremely helpful.
PS: All of what I've just said is also 100% applicable to the law of evidence, which I also cannot find.
I haven't been able to write notes on all of these topics yet - it takes quite a long time to put stuff together, but I'll try to prioritise some of this stuff :)
Damnit I have 12 days to do this, I need to hurry!
Good luck!
I hope to get 1st class from my exams :( I am currently in my 3rd year
Good luck, let me know if you need any help!
@@heygarethevans Thank you, I would be grateful for your help, please.
@@heygarethevans What help you can offer me?
I tutor students re writing essays. If you do not understand the questions being asked, you have already failed.
Yeah - I always tell people to spend a good chunk of time reading and breaking down the question before they do anything else
why do people put fake voices on?
Hey thanks for the comment - what do you mean by fake voices? I don't see the relevance to this video? haha
I think you will find many people who go into law are required to be orally articulate and coherent. I fail to see how being well spoken is relevant in the slightest to someone putting on a fake voice. This is entirely your own very much distorted opinion.
Thanks for the advice! I'm a JD1 student in Hong Kong who finds some crim law concepts quite hard to understand and your website is sooo useful to help me organize complex ideas. The notes are quite succinct and easy to understand compared to slides provided by my prof.🥲
Hey 👋 I’m really happy to hear that you’re finding my website useful - professors have a tendency to make stuff more complicated than it needs to be 😂
Brother i need you help while solving my assignment... How can i contact you? Kindly let me know please
