Review # 1 was written on 2012-06-01 00:00:00 Angela Wagers DEALING OUT THE RIGHT LAWCARDS FOR CORE LAW AREAS An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers We’re often asked which materials we would recommend for Contract Law revision purposes for law students when they become increasingly aware of the approaching ‘E’ day - such advice is normally sought around February time when the weather is grim and the prospects seem even grimmer as the exam entry forms are completed. Well for them it’ll be ‘D’ day (‘D’ being for deliverance) if they use these well-tried and well-tested publications from Cavendish. But, make sure you get the most recent edition each time for the new legal developments which have taken place, either by statute or in case-law, in the intervening years between editions. We don’t make these statements lightly because the lawcards are of a high standard which the law student will definitely require to compliment the working textbooks and casebooks used throughout the year. Lawcards give a form of revision notes which it would be hard to match with such notes as are taken by internal students during actual lectures. And they do provide the instant memory test which is needed to trigger the brain into action as it competes with nerves on exam day. They’re not a crutch but merely an aide memoire which starts the memory process off. Recent case-law references and the comments made about Law Commission recommendations and other sources give these cards extra ‘clout’. With the lawcards, the structure is the key and you will find it opens the door to a world which is yours to write about. It’s your script and your future. However, it is not a copied key that opens the door. It must be the original if you want to obtain a good classification. If you have ever had an additional door key cut, you will always know that it’s a copy because the original just has ‘something’ about it. That ‘something’ is normally ‘wear and tear’ as the shiny newness has gone but the dependability is there (we hope). Well, Contract Law “lawcards” comprise that ‘dependability’ we hope for to allow the refreshing of memory and should always be included in the bibliography for your revision programme. They are the means by which you can create an original with all the attributes that have gone before. Your answers in the exams will focus your mind and that imposter, the irrelevance, will be excluded as they’re in these publications. Also, what we find particularly attractive about the lawcards is that they do not encourage ‘parroting’ which is the bane of the examiner’s existence. We can say from experience that it’s always refreshing to find a script which has some originality about it, mixed with a good understanding of legal principles and case-law. What examiners do not like is the lazy student who has clearly not thought about the subject. The cards act as guides, so you have the tools and there’s no reason why you can’t complete the job… a job very well done indeed if you use the Contract lawcards.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-10-24 00:00:00 John Zimmerman James P. Cannon's History of American Trotskyism manages to avoid being sterile, dry, or self-serving. It is the history of the heroic days of the American Trotskyists, and it holds a wealth of ideas and commentary for those of us who hold to that tradition. History of American Trotskyism is not just history on the page; it is a guide to action. Cannon goes into the problems of a small group getting deeply involved in mass work, from the 1934 Minneapolis Teamster strikes to the defense of Leon Trotsky from Stalinist slander, and in so doing he lays out the principles of a Trotskyist party. In the reading, it quickly becomes evident why the Trotskyists in America went from a handful of expelled members of the Communist Party to the largest and most influential section of the Fourth International in the course of ten years.
