[QUOTE="Jacob Miller, post: 75500, member: 5063"] Hey, What I would honestly say is that it isn't necessary to be able to cite treaties, statutes, cases etc vac schemes or apps/ interview. This isn't expected of you and, in all honesty, I don't actually think it would particularly strengthen you as an applicant in any meaningful way (although [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] may differ in view?). Remember, when I'm creating content for the forum, I'm always trying to provide as much wider contextual information as possible and this will often involve giving a little of the legal context for something. The reason for this is that we want users to be able to build a wider understanding of commercial-legal issues and also understand where the bridge is between 'law' and 'commercial' in that same context. I'm also a [B]massive nerd[/B] and generally try to research things quite deeply when posting. With that in mind, I really don't think you should stress yourself about this. [B]Nevertheless... [/B]if you really are set on improving your ability to recall knowledge like this just for personal satisfaction, I think it really is just more or less a matter of memory: having something in your mind to link X to Y. Cue cards can be decent for this. Being totally honest here, I've never really made a concerted effort to memorise things like this (I pretty much had a photographic memory when I was younger and, while it's not as sharp as it was, it's still naturally decent), so I'm not able to give a huge amount of info in re memorising stuff. Apologies! [/QUOTE]
