Congratulations gentlemen on an excellent website. Indeed, your generosity in setting out so clearly and concisely the fundementals of each law topic, will I am sure, prove yet to be invaluable to those whom will come to appreciate the benefits and rewards that such maps hold.

Very interesting. I'd like to see more. As a practising lawyer and a trainee seat supervisor there are both learning and teaching aspects to what I do.

Hi Dinesh,
Thank you for your comments. I hope you'll help spread the word about our site.
Gabor, what do you mean when you say you'd like to see more? We've got some more subjects we want to cover (Crime, Contract, etc.) and in the new year we'll post our maps from the LPC electives (Corporate Commercial, Corporate Finance, E-Commerce, Mergers & Acquisitions and Family). However, what you see is pretty much is as far as the topics already covered.
So... what "more" would you like to see?
The idea of the site is that we want to encourage people to see how easy it can be to take notes for law with mindmaps. If people would try the PDFs first and then give the .mmp/.mmap files a go if they want to try editing/updating the files with the MindManager software, then once their exams are finished we very much hope a few people will share their maps with the site so that others can benefit from their improvements.
Perhaps this is a naive hope, but the growth of the Creative Commons and the fact that this site itself is proof that some people at least are happy to share mean that we may be proven right. We'll see during the course of the year.
Anyway, if you'd like to participate in our project you're most welcome, and we hope to hear more from you.
Kind regards,
David
Wow I came across your website lawmaps.org by chance as I was actually trying to order Cavendish law maps for my first year LLB exams. I must say I am very impressed and am so pleased you want to share these useful maps.
It would be interesting to find out if you guys took a course to learn mind maps or if it was self-taught from books etc. I am so very intrigued by mind maps and would love to start using them from my second year including taking my laptop to lectures (currently only use linear notes).
I understand that you are all qualified now, but when you were at degree / LPC lectures how easy did you find both concentrating on the lecturer and creating those mind maps? Did you have to pre-read, mind map and then add bits from the lecture? I am a bit worried that I would be concentrating too much on what topic goes where etc.
So you based your notes pretty much only using mind maps which seems really scary, but I am all for the unorthodox approach and willing to give this a try. I also intend to improve my reading with speed reading - have you any thoughts on this?
Thanks and I am really pleased I found your website !
Pity your site's down. I loved it.
Any chance of it coming back up soon?
Cheers
