Your system is much more sensible as in practice, i.e. working as a lawyer, you have all the books to refer to that you want and it is a question not so much of knowing the law, but of knowing where to find it and how to apply it!

EDIT: Reading that back, I just want to make completely clear that I am not trying to belittle Finnish law exams or you yourself Mr Timist. By the sound of things your criminal law exam was much harder than mine was when I took it here. Besides, you are multilingual and I am not so you are demonstrably more intelligent than I am!

I LOVE YOU MAN! *Intense Degree gives UP a (presumably) thoroughly unwanted manhug.
