NCA Exam Prep: Canadian Constitutional Law

A focused 2 to 3 hour video course that prepares you to understand, write and pass the NCA Canadian Constitutional Law exam. Presented by The Hon. Justice Rick Libman of the Ontario Court of Justice.

About this course

Doing well on an NCA exam takes more than knowing the law. Exam writing is a skill, and it improves with instruction. This course reviews the division of powers and the Charter as tested on the NCA Canadian Constitutional Law exam, and shows you how to turn that knowledge into a clear, well-organized exam answer.

This is an exam technique and review course. It does not cover the full NCA syllabus and does not replace the NCA's required readings.

What the course covers

• Key substantive areas of Canadian Constitutional Law, based on the current NCA syllabus
• Discussion of leading cases and references
• How to read NCA exam questions and what the examiner is looking for
• Walk-throughs of sample NCA exam questions and strong answers
• A step-by-step method for essay, fact pattern and IRAC-style questions
• Exam writing and time management tips
• NCA exam rules and how to prepare for exam day
