Remember that the assessment is testing your ability to convey your understanding of a complex legal issue, therefore you should attempt as far as possible to explain the issues in your own words. Essays compiled from a series of quotes taken from a range of textbooks will not receive high marks. Quotes can be useful, but use them sparingly for maximum impact.
