Student launches £100k claim over exams failure (From Oxford Mail)

Student launches £100k claim over exams failure (From Oxford Mail)

A STUDENT who claims her legal career was jinxed by an Oxford law institute’s failure to prepare her adequately for major professional exams has launched a £100,000 High Court compensation bid.

Maria Abramova claims staff at the Oxford Institute of Legal Practice (OXILP) let her down by failing to coach her in crucial exam techniques before she flunked her first set of exams in May 2005.

The institute, part of Oxford Brookes University, is fighting the case.

The 28-year-old Oxford University graduate said her experiences at OXILP left her with a critical blind spot in tackling exams, contributing to her failing the coveted New York bar examination three years ago.
