With effect from 1 October 2008

Regulation 22(d).

The regulation has been amended to require a candidate who wishes to exceed the word limit for the essay to seek the approval of the Faculty Board of Law and to specify a time-limit for such approval to be sought by amending paragraph (d) so as to read:

(d) A lecturer conducting a seminar course shall set each candidate an essay on a prescribed subject. An essay shall not without leave of the Faculty Board exceed 12,000 words including footnotes and appendices, but excluding bibliography. Such leave may be sought no later than fourteen days before the date, specified below, by which essays must be received by the Secretary of the Faculty Board. Candidates shall be required to state in a preface the sources that they have used and to declare that the essay represents their own work unaided except as may be specified in the declaration. Essays shall be sent to the Secretary of the Faculty Board so as to arrive not later than the seventh day of Full Easter Term in the year in which the examination is to be held. A candidate who submits an essay after this date may be penalized. The essay shall be computer- or type-written.
