Study Tips for WJEC Law

1

Learn case law with precision — know the case name, the key facts, and the legal principle it established. For example, Donoghue v Stevenson (1932) established the neighbour principle in negligence. You must cite cases accurately in exam answers to earn full marks.

2

Practise applying the IRAC method (Issue, Rule, Application, Conclusion) to scenario questions. Identify the legal issue, state the relevant law and supporting case, apply it to the facts given, and reach a conclusion. This structured approach is what examiners expect.

3

Create summary charts for each area of law showing the elements that must be proved. For example, in negligence: duty of care, breach of duty, causation (factual and legal), and remoteness of damage. These frameworks help you work through scenarios systematically.

4

Read about current legal cases and developments in the news. Being able to reference contemporary examples in your evaluation questions demonstrates engagement with the subject and strengthens your critical analysis.
