For that, constant reading and revision is required.

Selecting the appropriate resources for your reading is also important. It is more important to select what to ignore than what to accept. In that methodology only you can read a lot in a short amount of time and revise the needs in frequent intervals. In case of law subjects there will be plenty of materials having different levels of interpretation. Choose wisely what to accept and what to reject.

Case Laws for Law Subjects

The UPPSC APO subjects consist of a lot of law subjects in the professional requirements aspect. For that you need to focus on the precedents (law established by the courts) as well as the legal developments on the particular subject. The law text book resources will deal only with the fundamental static portions only. Even those static portions can be amended or repealed or overruled by the authority at any time. So, it’s mandatory to check out the recent dynamic development in the required subjects.
