    Getting published: an edge or common practice?

    I don't think it matters where you get your masters (well maybe not like UWS) cos masters is definitely more of an individual achievement rather than a reflection on your law school. As far as getting published goes, I certainly wouldn't say it was a 'common practice', at any uni. Think of...

    Jury Duty

    Geez I feel like Im the translator in this thread for people's hostile misunderstandings.... "I didn't deserve the UAI I got" = "My UAI suggests I worked a lot harder than I actually did" Pretty simple.

    Jury Duty

    Ok buddy you need to remove that defensive little stick from your backside and stop jumping to conclusions (because after all, good lawyers don't jump to conclusions :rolleyes: ). I believe Santa was referring the teaching of law in general when he made the comments about theory, in a...

    New Apple announcements

    I have a sherwood 128mb mp3 player with the same (maybe slightly smaller) proportions as this new nano....people are always very impressed when they see how thin it is....unfortunately now I won't be so cool with this new ipod coming out!

    Employment Opportunities for Law

    I think you'll find that most the newer ones don't.....because those with law degrees can find far more lucrative salaries AWAY from politics.

    Jury Duty

    Guys, my dads doing the LPAB diploma in law until he retires and has the time to transfer over into Sydney Law. I can tell you now, there is little to no difference between the two, except for the fact that doing it at uni you end up with a degree. I did crim and torts at the same time as my dad...

    Jury Duty

    I was called up on Wednesday for jury duty at the Downing Centre. I was empanelled for a 3 week drugs case but was challenged by the prosecution--I am far too young (and blonde) for a prosecution to want me on a drugs case (too sympathetic to the drug pushers and whatnot). Having not been...

    Student loan.

    You will need a guarantor for your loan if you aren't working full time (and maybe still if you are)...your father being bankrupt obviously isn't going to be an acceptable guarantor. Remember every loan you apply for from a bank or credit union, even if you are knocked back, is recorded on...

    law questions

    Haha that sounds mighty like a question your tutor would prefer you worked out for yourself ay? :p But yeah, what whatshisface said, a test case is just a case that has no common law precedents--the outcome isn't know cos a case like that has never been put to the court. Cattanach v...

    just a fun criminal law question

    Haha I never would have done it in class, only in the HSC exam where the markers are only looking for you to back up your answer and don't have the time or resources to check if you are right--they have to give you the benefit of the doubt! And btw it was our teacher that taught us to make...

    just a fun criminal law question

    Hehe im fairly sure thats the answer, but if I wrote that in an exam Id fail dismally--no authority = no argument. I suppose you've been told the trick Melsc about making up cases if you can't think of them during your exam? It got me a 97 :)

    just a fun criminal law question

    It doesn't matter though--yes, had he recieved proper medical attention he may have been saved from dying, but had Mary not stabbed him he wouldn't be dying at all. Nothing has broken the chain. It would be different if Frank had been admitted to hospital and was saved (even though Mary would...

    just a fun criminal law question

    The causation case Im actually thinking of is that one where the guy stabbed that morman girl, and because of her beliefs she refused a blood transfusion. It was found by the court that the guy still directly caused the death, because if he hadn't stabbed her she wouldn't have needed the blood...
