If you’re here then you are probably looking for a new and more innovative way to learn and revise contract law. This website is designed to help you to remember contract law through visual imagery.
The way facts are presented – the use of colour and image – can help us to understand and remember what we see. Illustrations of all the essential case law and legal theory give a visual hook to help you remember the facts.
This resource is completely free and we’d love to keep it that way. In order to do that we’re asking our users to make a donation instead of having to pay a subscription or deal with annoying ads.
Anything that you can give goes towards fulfilling that goal, thank you!
I studied the GDL at BPP and the BPTC at ULaw. For me, case law was always a series of stories with characters and narrative. That is often how I remembered the facts, for example imagining Smith and Hughes arguing over oats. However, most of the resources available to students are just black and white text.
I saw the opportunity for something different and decided to create a resource for students that incorporated images into the traditional text analysis of case law and legal theory.
All of the images and text have been checked by individuals who have taught, or are still teaching, at university level in England & Wales. The website is also part of tldr.legal/home.html – a collection of non-text based law resources, curated by a Senior Lecturer at City Law School.
Each section has a Learn, Revise and Test section. The Learn sections have full explanations of case law with images. The Revise section is only images but with one line of text summing up the case law. Then move on to the Test section which brings together all of the images but with the case name removed to see if you can remember the case name and case law. Press the ‘Reveal’ button to reveal the answer.
We also recommend that you try redrawing the images or even drawing your own to really embed the information.
Case law is full of fun and memorable stories so we believe learning it should be fun too. We hope that you find this resource useful but please remember that it is only a learning tool and not to be used as a source for legal advice.
