You have eventually elaborated and strengthened my stance in your post and that also through examples. (see the italic blue fonts) Every law subject requires extensive cramming. Unless you do not have articles on your finger tips, you cannot claim to be familiar with the subject. I started off assuming that I will just have to read the books and interpret myself. Later I realized that it's interpretation was also set and it cannot be moulded. Sometimes even the so called legists would have me hold my head in hands over their weird interpretations of an otherwise quite simple statement. Of the three books which I read partially, Starke's International Law was the only one I enjoyed while Kapoor's book earned plenty of loath. To read and understand what comes under "General" category i.e Universal Declaration etc is bit simple and not mandatory. Whereas, for a student of International Law as well as anyone opting this subject, cramming bulk of articles along with the prefix digits and original text is inevitable especially if you want to anticipate GOOD score. Rest, if you want average marks somewhere between 40-50, it does necessitates cramming anything close to the original text. Quote:

I don't think I had to cram something. Yes a very few things are there to cram. But even without them paper can be attempted easily. Besides, paper pattern does not demand cramming. Quote:
Brother it is far scoring and far interesting than Muslim Law. And very informative. Regards.

I have to reiterate that IF YOU WANT TO FETCH GOOD SCORE you have no other choice but to cram the original text of many articles. And this I say with a fair deal of conviction since I substituted it after ample consultation with seniors and guides around me. Besides, I have no reason to denounce the charm of the subject if one wants to read it for any other purpose than opting for css. If you have a good memory, go for it. If you fear you may forget things, go for an easy alternate. After all CSS is not all about studying, it's about studying the right things as well.

Just a few references one needs to keep in mind. If one sees the past papers of the subject , one can infer, that one needs not cram those things. I have attempted the papers of 2010 and 2011 . I am always extremely uncomfortable with cramming. But I have not felt this problem to any visible extent while preparing or attempting the paper.

But journalism was under heavy heavy clouds in 2010. You can see the results of even those who have been the toppers. They have not scored better in it. I got 40 marks in it , while I had all 20 mcqs correct. See these results to check journalism marks. .

My Dear Sir Redmax Now we must make a differnce b/w cramming and taking note of something important. In every subject there are important events, dates quotes and personalities which we have to remeber while preparing it, and international law is no exception. For example, in the current affair paper, if you are asked to explain Pak US relaions in the historical context. now to answer this genrally you have to recall all the important treaties, mutual agreements and even the dates of some particulor events, besides, you are to mention the economic aid in figures and the year in which it was provided, and the stipulated conditions which have to be followed. Similarly, in Pak affair you have to remeber the 14 points of Quid, and the Nehru report and its contents; leave aside the other important things like the differnet constitutional commissions and reforms. In the same way we have to take note of the important events in the history subjects. Islamic history for example is a subject in which you have to remeber what particulor reforms were introduced by such and such ruler. likewise you should know the contents of the last sermon of Holy Prophet, and the contents charter of Madinah and the treaty of Hudaybiya. English literature or some other subjects, for examlpe, regional languges are no exceptions to this rule. For Sindhi you have to remeber the Baits of Shah Latif which you are to put in your answer as refernces. Coming back to the topic, I want to say that what you consider cramming of facts in IL is not infact cramming material but they are some importnat refernces which you furnish while attempting a particulor question, however if you dont give any, It does not affect your marks provided that you have good understanding of the subject. I believe It is the Beating about the bushes which affect your marks, not ommision of some facts or refernces. Moreover, there are many questions in which there are no such aricles, for example. is internatinaol law a proper law, or sources of International law, Recognition etc. I dont know what you consider good score, I had 65 in IL in 2010. Regards,

1. Definitions of Terms (50+) e.g magna carta, etc. 2. Names of Prominent Legists & their views about IL 3. Universal Declaration of HR (30 Articles) 4. Several Conventions, Dates, Places, Countries etc. 5. Separate Laws governing seas, diplomats, war times etc. 6. Some Prominent Cases in the history & their details and much more... The point is one has to remember the original text word by word if one wants to quote it in the paper. Many would agree to this that original text has its own impact over interpreted secondary text. Pardon me for I do not possesses a photo memory which is why I put up a different show everytime I sit to write on the same topic. That's one of the reasons why I had to switch this subject. Again, I feel necessary to reiterate that you can get away with it by putting your own interpretation and fetch average score. For scoring high, like Sajidnuml, you ought to memorize things in their true spirit. Journalism. My other optionas included Arabic, Pub. Ad, Sociology & Sindhi. Quote:
The references as you call these are quite necessary in order to authenticate your argument. Mere verbosity may not win you examiner's heart my dear. The valid statistics and statements will surely buy you a little more attention and fetch you extra marks. A simple formula, you see. Btw, you had a pretty good score in 2010. Keep it up! Good Luck!

@ redmax
Brother you seem to be over afraid of I. Law. I experienced this subject. Prepared it , appeared in papers twice, got 71 in 2010. But , I , haven't even felt the hurdles which you have mentioned. Anyhow, "I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it"
