(Statutes and Ordinances, p. 358)
The General Board, on the recommendation of the Faculty Board of Law, has approved amendments to the regulations so as to remove a provision which allowed students to apply to the Faculty Board for an extension to the word limit of their dissertation, to create a Full Paper on Human Rights Law, and to include in the regulations provision for the recognition of Examinations for Professional Exemption.
By adding the following as new Regulations 2 and 14 and renumbering all subsequent regulations accordingly:
2. The Faculty Board, after consulting the professional and other bodies concerned, shall have power to determine the subjects and/or papers for examination or parts thereof that shall be designated by supplementary regulation as Examinations for Professional Exemption.
14. A student who fails to take or is unsuccessful in the examination in any subject or paper designated as an Examination for Professional Exemption in accordance with Regulation 2 shall be eligible for re-examination. Subject to Regulation 23, no student shall be a candidate in any Examination for Professional Exemption on more than two occasions in total.
By amending existing Regulation 14 (to be renumbered Regulation 16) so that it reads:
16. There shall be a separate class-list for each Part of the Tripos. In each list the names of the successful candidates shall be arranged in three classes, of which the second shall be divided into two divisions. The names in the first and third classes, and in each division of the second class, shall be arranged in alphabetical order. In each class-list a mark of distinction shall be affixed to the names of those candidates placed in the first class whose work is of special merit. In the class-list for Part II the symbol (e) shall be placed against the names of those candidates who have taken the examination under Regulation 6(a). Successful candidates in the Examinations for Professional Exemption shall be informed by the Academic Secretary of the Faculty of Law after results are confirmed by the Faculty Board.
By inserting ‘Paper 39. Human Rights Law’ in existing Regulation 15 (to be renumbered Regulation 17) under Group III.
By deleting the clause ‘to assess that paper’ from the first sentence of the existing Regulation 19 (to be renumbered Regulation 21) so as to read:
A candidate who under Regulation 19 chooses Paper 50 (seminar course) shall be assessed by the Assessors appointed by the Faculty Board.
By amending sub-paragraph (b) of the current Regulation 19 (to be renumbered Regulation 21) so that it reads:
(b)The topic of a dissertation on a prescribed subject shall be approved by a lecturer conducting a seminar course (Paper 50). A dissertation shall not exceed 12,000 words including footnotes and appendices, but excluding bibliography. Candidates shall be required to state in a preface that the dissertation represents their own work unaided except as may be specified in the declaration. Dissertations 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 a dissertation after this date may be penalized. The dissertation shall be computer-written.
By adding the following paragraph as new Regulation 23:
The Faculty Board of Law shall establish a procedure for the review of the Board’s decisions in respect of students who have applied exceptionally for an additional attempt at an examination designated as an Examination for Professional Exemption under Regulation 14. No person who applies for review under the procedure so established shall be entitled to apply also for review of the same matter under the procedure for determining complaints by members of the University in statu pupillari established under the Regulation for complaints by students.
