For all student lawyers out there, written at the end of a very depressing week of crucial law exams

But it was unfounded anxiety! I passed and then went on to qualify as a Solicitor in November 1993

Law Exam Blues

By Fahim Firfiray

Law School, June 1990

I left Intent out of Crime

without a hint of remorse

In Trusts I omitted 

two thirds of the course


In my Tort paper, Negligence,

was never debated

Without Remedies, my Contract

was somewhat Frustrated

 

Constitutional was studied

over many dark nights

But the paper they gave me

Breached my Human Rights


In Land my answer

was crudely concise

I told the client in the question

To seek legal advice!


So rather than smiling 

from ear to ear

If feel I have just put paid

to my legal career
