Haryana Judiciary Mains Preparation Tips for Substantive Laws: Civil and Criminal Law

Your first focus should be on the primary laws, i.e. Constitution, IPC, CrPC, Evidence and CPC, as the majority of questions are asked from these subjects, and after getting thoroughly familiar with these, then focus on minor subjects, i.e. Indian Contract Act, Specific Relief Act and Transfer of Property Act.

While preparing notes in your language, focus on Bare Acts, Commentaries and Leading Case Laws.

• After studying all the subjects, prepare for the previous year's exams and do as many mock tests as possible. Make sure you do not answer the questions subject-wise and do it as a whole.
• You should develop a habit of studying law primarily from Bare Acts. Take help from text/reference books to note the essentials of legal provision and the leading cases, if any, for each essential. Read carefully the explanation and provision attached to the main provision.
• Illustrations appended to the Sections are fundamental for clearly understanding the provision and exceptions, so never miss them. Simultaneously, try to memorize ‘which Section deals with what’; this is very important for cracking prelims. This may be a difficult task, but it must be done at least for all the important provisions.
• Prepare short notes on each crucial topic, outlining the relevant legal provisions, their content, main cases and exceptions. Try to keep it as concise as possible. And refer the notes from different Coaching institutes to add more value to your preparation.
• These notes will be the most helpful tool for a quick revision during the entrance and main exams because as you browse through these short notes, you will recall almost all the relevant information you have studied before. 
• Keep your syllabus and previous year's question papers with you, and research how questions are asked. This will give you an idea of which area to focus more on.
