GDL Notes, Exam Plans & Exam Answers
Hi there! I’m a former GDL student at the University of Law and I've shared my course notes, exam plans, and exam answers.
The GDL is pretty intense - I know from experience it can be difficult to learn everything AND optimise your exam technique. That’s why I publish my notes and exam plans, which hopefully help you do both at the same time!
If you have any questions, I'm just a message away :)
