About general defences flashcards
GoConqr OriginalUsing General Defences flashcards
These user-made decks offer different ways to review the unit. Some focus on cases, while others cover questions or essay points. Start with Insanity if you want cards on the M'Naghten Rules and disease of the mind. For self-defence, Self-Defence Essay & Case Cards AO1 includes reasonable force and the burden of proof.
Build a revision routine
Work through a deck by recalling an answer before checking the card. Return to the cards you find difficult, then move to a case-focused deck such as A2 Law: Cases - Defence of Duress. Its cards include case outcomes and duress of circumstances.
If you need a visual overview, switch to a mind map on the unit page. You can also use the self-defence quiz there to check recall in another format. Pick a set of cards that matches the defence you are revising.
