    Dear Mike,
    Would you be so kind to advise me what type of F4 do I have to study?
    I am a bit confused.

    Hi, you can study whichever one you want! There is a full (almost) suite of video lectures on this site for English law with only just over half relating also to global law.

    There are, however, no dedicated global law lectures covering the first 8 chapters of the global law notes.

    The choice is yours!

    If I can help in any way, please do post again

    Thank you

    Neither variant is easier than the other. It’s also a difficult question for me to answer since there’s only been last week’s exam in this new format.

    If it were my own personal choice, I would go for English but that’s only because I enjoy the stories so much

    I doubt very much that there’s a lot in it these days, one way or the other

    You have a choice – it’s either one or the other

    The big differences are in sections A, B and C of the syllabus – all the other 5 sections of the syllabi are exactly the same

    In the global variant, there is heavy emphasis on international trade law, international sale of goods and the law relating to arbitration

    In addition, in the global variant is the topic of Sharia law

    The English equivalent sections cover contract law and the law of tort in much greater detail than the global coverage

    Any other questions – post them here and I’ll try to help
