Law & Order Season 1

Advantages: Good entertainment if you like police and courtroom drama
Disadvantages: see op

...Law & Order is the longest primetime drama in the United States. It's currently running its 17th season. It's a police and legal drama with its background set in New York City. The first season started in 1990 and the show's success has led to two spin off programmes so far: Law & Order Special Victims' Unit and Law and Order Criminal Intent. This review is about the first season. FORMAT AND PRESENTATION The show is centred around the work by homicide detectives in the 27th precinct in the New York Police Department. They usually investigate homicide cases but sometimes deal with other serious crimes. Every episode opens with segments showing typical New York life such as walking in Central Park or buying food at a local deli until the characters unexpectedly become victims or witnesses of a crime or discover a body/crime scene...

LLB Law

Advantages: Very helpful staff when you have done some reading...
Disadvantages: if you haven't started your research, they are not going to bail you out!

...So Im in the middle of doing my Law degree full time at DeMontfort University. Well what can you expect? The Teaching style~ consists of lectures, seminars and tutorials. The lecturer normally always sits or stands at the front of the group regardless of what teaching method is being used. It is advisable for any of these types of classes to do the work ( whether set prior to the lecture or in advance of a lecture) as to help you with your revision and also to save you the embarrassment of getting things wrong infront of lots of people!!!! Lectures- the lecturer talks and you listen, preferably write notes and use a dictafone where possible- helps you when it comes to writting up your notes. You can ask questions and helps if you have done some reading in preparation for you lecture on a particular topic. Lecturer's do ask...

Review of Law

Your Honour, I am a law abiding citizen..!!

Advantages: Excellent performance by Gerard Butler, great cinematography.
Disadvantages: Few plot holes, some very disturbing torture and murder scenes.

...the city to seek justice. But this time, he wants to do it within the boundaries of Law and Order. So the story tells us, how Clyde gets his justice and how cleverly he plans everything. It also tells us about Nick Rice and his continuous efforts to stop Clyde from committing these plans. This movie has a highly entertaining storyline and some surprising twists. I enjoyed watching this movie. MY PERSONAL THOUGHT This is a very entertaining and fast paced thriller with a unique story line. Director F. Gary Gary directed some excellent and truly entertaining movies before like The Italian Job (2003) and Be Cool (2005). Gerard Butler played the role of a talented and innovative engineer Clyde Shelton. He is married and has a cute little daughter. He really cares for his family and likes to spend time with his daughter. But after the brutal...

Review of Law Abiding Citizen

The Hendon Campus & Law.

Advantages: Excellent learning facilities
Disadvantages: Disorganised University

...Please note: I did not 'recommend' as this is a very personal & individual decision, which could go either way depending on the person. Since the last person wrote a review on Law at Middlesex University (2000), a lot has changed. I am in my final year, studying in Hendon & looking forward to graduation.. argh finally! Unfortunately, my experience of this University has not been entirely positive. To say the least, it was disappointing. I transferred from UEA to be nearer to my hometown. My decision to switch Universities (& start from scratch in year 1) was very last minute, which meant I had to go through clearing & accept anything available. Middlesex was the only University of several in London that I contacted with places still available. Relieved, I made my application & swiftly obtained a place on the LLB programme. I had not...

Review of Law

The LLB Law programme at UEA

Advantages: Lovely campus, high teaching standards, good reputation
Disadvantages: Norwich is a bit far out...

...Well, before transferring to Middlesex University to do Law from the start again, I spent a year at East Anglia(UEA). This is obviously only a very short period of time so my review will probably lack some detail, but hopefully you will still find it fairly useful. The area This is a single campus University, based in Norwich, East Anglia. I moved from Reading (near London) & found the driving distance to be around 3 to 4 hours, or train from Liverpool St generally taking 2 hours, no comment on Reading to London as this varies dramatically anyway. The train journey is quite comfortable though. Norwich is a fairly small city, but not without its fair share of things to do. There are a few clubs, tourist-like areas with cinema, all the popular restaurants, bars, shopping centres (from the old-fashioned, posh arcade to a modern...

Review of Law

One Law for all ?

Advantages: Good fun for kids.
Disadvantages: A bit dated.

...- 1979 Series Series 4 - 1975 - 1976 Episode 1: One Law: Part 1 Another ?Break out? Telepath is discovered but not before he is spotted by some ruthless villains. Episode 2: One Law: Part 2 Blackmail and law breaking as the tomorrow people are forced to take the law into their own hands. Episode 3: One Law: Part 3 An uneasy truce is called between the tomorrow people and a new bad guy as they are unable to trick or catch him in one of their traps. Only 3 episodes on this single disc and runs for 70 minutes. The show was a kids fun Sci-Fi show but later series tried to move to a more teenage and even an adult viewing audience, it never really worked. The plots to each show are quite good and move along at a fair pace. The dialogue however at times is not too good and in places awful. The science would not stand up to...

Review of The Tomorrow People - One Law - 4:1 (DVD)

A Must Have For Any Law Student

Advantages: Indispensable; easy to use; has addititional information included; cheap price
Disadvantages: You can use the Internet to locate definitions, but the dictionary is more reliable

...on websites such as www.thestudentroom.co.uk, where students past & present sell their old books for very cheap prices. Just do some shopping around, and you'll soon find one at a price which is more tailored to your budget. IS IT EASY TO USE? I would say the dictionary is incredibly easy to use. Like all dictionary's, this it set out in alphabetical order, and therefore you can quickly locate what it is your looking for by simply using the first letter, e.g. 'mens rea' comes under the 'M' category. With regard to the term I just used as my example - 'mens rea' - you will find several other Latin terms which constantly crop up in the subject of Law, and is probably my biggest 'downfall' area, as it's difficult to remember how to spell the phrases correctly, let alone remember them! If you've used standard dictionaries before...
