As per title, I'm getting very frustrated at trying to write an essay for my studies:

"The point is not that the provisions of [Part 9 of] the LRA 2002 are flawed or misguided. They reflect powerful arguments of policy and, while not everyone may agree with them, those arguments cannot be dismissed lightly. Of course, some might argue that the provisions on adverse possession are not critical for an effective e-conveyancing system: after all, it cannot be said that the "old law" seriously undermined the 1925 system. However, the more relevant point is that if these doubts are shared by those responsible for implementing and interpreting the LRA 2002, especially in cases of apparent hardship and unfairness, then we may see the re-emergence of a de facto limitation period in registered land through imaginative interpretation of the legislation."

Normally I consider myself quite competent, but for this piece nothing is gelling in my head, I can't even piece together something decent to write about and I've been working on this for 3 weeks, if not longer! I feel utterly useless :p :o

People at work don't know they're born ;)

Thus I thought this could be a thread for all students to moan about their workload, whilst everyone else can tell us either how easy we have it or 'university is a waste of time (and I'm really bitter because I didn't go)' :p

What's you university moan?
 
Didn't see any reason for myself to go to Uni, i just didn't fancy it. Went to college, got my qualification and that was enough for me, didn't feel like expanding on it.
 
Dissertations are too long - I study Chemical Engineering and yet my BEng project was 24,000 words and my pending (needs-to-be-written!) MEng one is supposed to be about the same length. No fair, considering the credits of the modules (30 BEng / 40 MEng) - still got shedloads of work on top.
 
It's your fault for doing an essay on land law! Hands down the most boring topic. At least on the GDL.

And that's absolutely fine. You don't need to go there to have a good career :)

Eww, that is long! My dissertation was 6000 words (was more of a lab report) with a 5000 word research project. The above essay is only 3000, which is tiny really, but it means your editing has to be immense.

Sadly, this is for a masters unit, which means I do more land law than LLB students - nooooooooo :o
 
university is easy and great fun.

Yeah right you've got a challenging workload of shagging loads of 19 year olds and seeing how messed up you can get.

Every project I work on is much more challenging than my masters or BA dissertations and someone is paying for it and therefore massively upset if it isn't excellent!

You lucky ****ers!;)

Unless you go into some feckless pursuit that doesn't benefit from university education anyway the rest of your life will be more demanding. Enjoy it!
 
Coming from a Law grad and Lpc grad - Land law is something that is quite daunting at first but if you read the books and get your head around the subject then it is quite easy to understand. My advice on this piece, as a good place to start, would be to look at the old method of registering adverse possession i.e the 1925 act and then look at the new system under the 2002 act - Critically analyse both the systems in line with the question, first by stating how the old system worked, then explain the new system and talk about how the old system was de facto (as in - not ordained by law) I think the question is getting at how the new LRA has made it very hard to gain adverse possession and that in some cases this may be unfair. Where as in the old system the law made it easy to gain adverse possession, because all it required was that the 12 year limitation period had elapsed. Obviously this has changed now. Look at the human rights aspects too.

WHAT :eek:! Land law was my favourite on the GDL and property is on the LPC. Even chose advanced property for my elective! :cool:
But I admit no one else seems to feel the same way as me, I think its just gonna be me and the tutor in my elective! :D

See your own post, weirdo :p
 
Land law is a pretty dire topic, it's up there with contract law and inheritance law as my least favourite topics.

Have you asked your lecturer for any pointers yet? If not it might be worth doing.
 
Land law is without a doubt the worst possible area I have studied on my LL.B. Although Adverse possession isn't too horrific.
 
Designing a machine to assemble picture frames. You tell it what size you want the frame to be then shove wood in one end, and finished picture frames come out the other at a rate of one a minute. Somehow. It's still at the fun design part now, later comes the grinding write up and trying to explain why I think the design will actually work. Could be worse really.
