    Is law really that boring?

    I am thinking about doing a law/economics or law/commerce course at USYD or UNSW and am trying to gather every bit of information I can about it.
    I can handle the difficulty (if it is really difficult) but I just really want to know if it is boring and WHY exactly it can be so boring...

    I just mean that I am not going to change courses because I think it is too hard, I can always try (although I don't want to try if it is boring. lol)

    Re: Is law really that boring?

    theres a bunch of core law subjects that they make everyone do and you will certainly run into one or more than you just dont give a fk about.

    ie i fkn hated constitutional law (failed and had to do it again, fk the constitution)
    and theres bullsht subjects like law and social theory, useless arts sht like that.

    vice versa, all the arts/laws student are like wtf is business associations 1, wtffff is a takeover.


    you get the point

    If you don't have any interest in Law, then you may find it extremely dry. Often students do Law just because they got a high ATAR and they figure this out in the end.

    Umm its more interesting than some commerce subjects imo. What sucks though is the amount of stuff that you have to read before each class.

    maybe, its no secret that the med umat/interviews were done to stop the asian zergrush
    hence all the brainy asians moved to comm/law

    if you limit that too, you will just make UNSW commerce a 99 ATAR degree

    And then they will introduce B. Business, with the same subs as comm except one different one, set the cut off to 91 (but allow people with 75s to get in)

    and

    in

    comes the MONEY

    Fuck my degree

    I will just make my own uni

    Re: Is law really that boring?

    It can sometimes be boring - but I think every degree is boring at times. Now, in my 3rd/4th year, things are a lot more interesting, most of the core units that we need for a good grounding are out of the way, and I'm starting on my electives which are obviously more interesting to me (Animal law!) In terms of subjects, I found constitutional law a bit of a drag too, ethics was god awful, and jurisprudence was a touch dry. I loved crim, torts, contracts and property law - but everyone's different. In terms of the general material, statutory law is pretty tedious in comparison to case law. Basically when it gets boring I remind myself that law is not just about information, it's about skills, and pretty much every unit and every assessment is going to help you learn to think clearly and express your ideas clearly, and that is never wasted time.

    ^^^

    most of those subjects you mentioned blow... (except crim and torts...)

    ...

    if you want to do law stay away from the draining subjects for as much time as possible... subjects such as Admin law, constitutional law, corps law etc... of course inevitably you will need to do subjects such as these...

    Studying is in general boring. Not sure why I spent so much time doing it.

    If I had my time again I'd spend my study time renovating and starting my housing/building/soon-to-be-hotel portfolio earlier.

    It's quite difficult and gets really boring at times, depends on your passion and what area of law you're interested in!

    But yeah it requires a lot of consistency, motivation and persistence. Most of your time you are reading the books

    Re: Is law really that boring?

    I found constitutional interesting, as well as administrative.

    yet to do property law though, i'm kind of dreading it, and luckily i might not have to do jurisprudence
    Ephesians 4

    29Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 30And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
