Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

SWOT is an established series of study aids for law students, covering law subjects at every level, from A Level and degree, LPC and Bar exams. The books point out the problems which may be encountered by the student throughout the course, indicating the common pitfalls which contribute to under-achievement or failure in exams. "SWOT"s are written by experienced law lecturers who are also examiners. Years of watching students make the same mistakes time after time have convinced them that these mistakes could be avoided if students followed a carefully structured approach to exam technique. Commercial and consumer law is a confusing mixture of common and statute law, both civil and criminal, which requires the student to have the full range of lawyer's skills. The authors highlight topics which are most likely to be found in examinations, illustrating problem areas, outlining points of techniques and providing sample questions.
