LAWS3703 Final Exam (Template)

Description

Having attended lectures, and seminars for this course, I prepared succinct (exam-friendly) notes that considered previous exam papers and seminar questions. These notes were effective in helping me find key authorities for the main topics including: - Recommendations to the LSC to prosecute a lawyer - Admission – suitability clause - Misleading the court - Representing a relative/friend where there is and is not a personal interest - Legal professional privilege - Former client - Collateral advantage - Advocates’ Immunity - Competency - Courtesy - Acting with instructions - Personal undertaking - Failure to disclose information - Duty to account trust money - Undue influence presumed in drawing terms of a contract - Client is billed as a pro bono matter - Deficient costs agreement - Excessive or dishonest billing
