Need to remember specifics of the law?  How about some poetry!  As you can see from the sample below this may be less than memorable but is certainly a different approach.  (I should note that this is Australian law so everybody else can merely take inspiration.)

"Joint Tenancy and Tenancy in Common"

What's tenancy in common, what
A tenancy that's joint?
In Morley versus Bird you'll get
The law on either point.
