THE GUIDING LIGHT BURNING IN THE WEST "COMMON LAW" This Survival Guide called "Common Law" was formulated with the intention of giving all students pursuing Law a head start, by equipping them with the necessary armour and knowledge to achieve success in all aspects of University life. This garnered knowledge, along with the intention, allows us to reminiscence on a quote that goes, "True knowledge is like a small torch in a dark forest. It doesn't show everything at once... but gives enough light for the next step to be safe." Swami Vivekananda. This quote undeviatingly portrays the aim of this guide, which is devoted to giving students that next step and ultimately is the small torch to help along the way. It may not have all the answers, but it is that needed leap towards a safer more comfortable University life. This is also the main reason why the guide is called "Common Law" mostly because it is needed as a form of student custom, practice and is at large material that all readers can utilise. The name "Common Law” as mentioned is a play on one of the first courses introduced to students doing Law called "Law and Legal Systems" like this course this guide should be something that all students encounter and are familiar with as a pilot towards a prosperous University experience.

PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS PIERRE K. COOKE JR.
Dear Law Students, It is my honour to address you as the President of the Cave Hill Law Society for the year 20212022. For the last seven years, I have dedicated my time and energy to youth development and using my voice for youth representation. I've had opportunities to represent the Caribbean as far as Dubai and it has all been very rewarding. However, this is by far my proudest role and I am happy to be working with you and for you. This year, the Law Society is committed to the development of Law, Life and Legacy. We are working to ensure that your mental health and wellness is protected in the midst of everything else happening in the world. The last two years have been challenging for us all and we are all hoping for a better and brighter future. Crucial to that goal is a degree in good standing. To this end, we will be providing you with tips and tools to make it through your degree. The study and practice of law is characterised by a tradition of camaraderie amongst legal scholars. We have a culture of passing notes, thoughts and support to ensure the law is upheld and developed at appropriate junctures. I believe this spirit has to be nurtured and fostered at this stage of our career so that we can move on, wherever we go, with a standard of excellence and compassion for the wellbeing of others. We are in the business of changing lives, transforming minds and producing the highest quality of legal scholars this region and the world has ever seen. I look forward to connecting with you in the upcoming year and wish you the very best on your academic journey with us.

EDUCATIONAL TIPS
The Law Library
The Law Library provides reference services and legal information, both in print and electronic formats, primarily to students and staff; but also to
governmental departments and members of the legal profession. It
is renowned as the best Law Library in the Commonwealth Caribbean.
Printing Services Once a student is registered at the University, they are automatically given a printing account. To enable printing from any computer lab on campus the student must go to the issue desk, present their valid UWI ID card, and put a minimum of $5.00 on their account. This can be done either at the Law Library, the Campus Bursary, or the Main Library. The Library also provides photocopying services at a cost of 25 cents per exposure. All users are expected to locate and copy their own material. Copying done by a person who is neither student nor staff of the University is charged at 40 cents per exposure.

Damaged books Unauthorized removal, minor damage or defacement of Law Library materials renders a user liable to a fine not exceeding Bds $25.00, at the discretion of the Law Librarian. The reader must pay the cost of replacing a lost or seriously damaged book or other item, in addition to any fine which the reader may have incurred before reporting the loss or damage.
Borrowing Books If a student fails to return material borrowed for reading room use to the Issue Desk by the end of the day on which it is borrowed, a fine of $5 for that day and $10 for each day that the book has not been returned to the Issue Desk must be paid.
Fines Overnight Reserve Items $1.00 per hour or part thereof for each book that is returned after 10:00 am.

Micro Labs
There are seven microcomputer labs. All the labs have internet access and 24 hour accessibility. These labs cater to all students and all rules must be followed. (May vary due to Covid-19)
The micro labs
are more convenient to use when you want a more
relaxed space to study, if you need to print or if you need to use a computer.

GREAT APPS
One great app which you can download is Moodle. It an open source, free to download, flexible user-friendly eLearning platform. It eases the hassle of having to go through the web in order to access your coursework. After copying the e-learning link to the app you will be able to acquire all your lecture notes, recordings, and
additional
readings
as
well
as
submit
your
assignments.
Moodle can be downloaded via goggle play store as well as Apple Store.
This app is great for keeping track of your assignments, assessments and homework and is available on multiple platforms. Its layout is simple but aesthetically pleasing. As a due date for an assignment gets closer, it goes from green (when there’s a fair amount of time left) to orange ( when the deadline is drawing near) to red( the deadline is very close). The degree of importance of the assignment can be assigned as well as alerts set at different time periods to remind you of the assignment. This app is the organized and the want-to be organized student’s best friend!

Keeping It One Hunna Law students on what they wish they knew before starting their L.L.B
When coming to the Law Faculty, I wish someone told me a method to study. While all persons may study differently, I believe that study styles can still be grouped into categories and be shared. It would have helped for sudden changes in mental health and the atmosphere.
Lana Ryan - 3rd Year
Reach out! The L.L.B program at the UWI Cave Hill
is
perhaps
the
most
difficult
one
the
campus offers. No one can do it on her/his own. Don’t be afraid to reach out to students who have preceded you for guidance; whether it be academic or personal!
Tyrique Wilson - 2nd Year A fast pace adjustment was key to my success as I was forced to adapt to the online experience. For starters, I do wish I knew how much reading being a law student encompassed. The reading was endless. Do not undermine yourself because of what another student is doing.
Salma Majeed - 2nd Year PAGE|
29
It is clichéd but having good time management skills and socialising within the faculty are immeasurable. Allocate adequate time for study, assignment completion and revision to ensure good grades. Engage and develop good relationships with your fellow law students as you will need each other for the next three years and beyond. Group work, some hate it and others love it but regardless always be a good group member!
Hilana Clarke - 3rd Year
Know and understand your learning style. Don't depend on lectures to give you everything. If you want to know more about a topic, do your own research. Persistence is Key: be prepared to throw your hands at an issue or subject matter multiple times before you get it right. Often times you don't grasp most things in the first listen/learn. Don't get frustrated with yourself.
Faith Beckles - HWLS
Upon matriculation to UWI, I thought I had identified my learning style, however that was far from true. I presumed that group studies were beneficial because I could bounce ideas and have discussions with my friends and classmates. Though that helped, learning by myself was really my method to success. So as you enter the Law Faculty, know that your learning style of the past may change as your law school journey progresses.

FAQ'S

You may opt to do it in the successive academic year, or you may wait until your final academic year to redo the course. The course will be taken in addition to the other subjects you are required to do for that academic year.
