I advise u seriously if ur skool does mock trial get into it (u can do it yr 10 and 11) its realli fun and u learn heaps...also if u end up doing legal it helps alot!

im doing legal next year and i co-topped the year in commerce on the law section test. Im doing heaps of debating and public speaking and stuff. Its kinda the only way i wanna go. (i hope im not gonna get disappointed at the end 2006!)

Lol, that’s exactly right.
If I hear the word effectiveness again I'm going to crack. Legal studies is so damm repetitive. I would have dropped it ages ago, except I’m getting pretty good marks in it.

i know this has already been said, but seriously guys, law at uni is ABSOLUTELY AND COMPLETELY different to legal studies. i loved legal and it inspired me to do law, then i got here and im not sure that i want to be doing it anymore because it is totally not what i expected. In the majority of courses, you simply learn the substantive rules of law and you just have to sit there and read these ridicuously long judegements. In the courses where you "analyse the law" such as lawyers, justice and ethics you sit there thinking 'this is the biggest waste of time ever and why am i paying $700 for a course that doesnt teach me much at all?

[santaslayer]
