[misskitty2058]

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this question:
Who was the first woman to appear as counsel before the HC?
Thanks!

 

[melsc]

That's a very interesting question but I have no idea...perhaps some of my learned friends in here would know?

Did you try googling it?

What high court judge writes novels with sexy situations in them?

...Justice Callinan in his sexy historical thriller

[Meldrum]

I suppose it brings a new element to Mills and Boone.

hehe

I keep making fun of the sex scenes in them but I should probably give one a go and read one some day

 

[MoonlightSonata]

I wonder if they are written like his judgments?

I remember Santow reading us one sex scene in Public Law... "He thrust his noble lance into her warm generosity" or something like that

Jane Austen meets porn!

three houses of vain piggies at blackbirds

something rarer than a perfect alignment of the planets happened tonight. i was invited by one of my UTS law friends to have dinner together at Blackbirds Cafe, at Cockle Bay. much to my surprise, i also bumped into my good friend, mr pigs_can_fly of USyd law, who were there celebrating his 19th with his USyd law friends (one of which did a 'brush off' gesture when i told him i was there with UTS law ppl - arrogant wanker >.<).

thus, you had, in the space of 50 square metres, UTS, UNSW, USyd law boys and girls. a rare event indeed.

the food was only mediocre this time... got baby octopi, but it wasn't 'grilled' as claimed.

Are people really like that . If I EVER turn out like that I give you permission to slap me out of it

Yummmmm I love octopus... I havent had it in ages...must request it at the next BBQ

 

[Frigid]

dun think he was serious... but yeah, maybe as a joke, to rub it in...

but honestly, i don't think there's a difference in the calibre of students between the law schools. we're all overenthusiastic, overambitious, narcissistic, proud, law-loving undergrads.

i should've jokingly thrown down the gauntlet and said, "wanna settle this over a moot?"

 

[melsc]

lol, i dont like snobs.. but i cant talk, im pretty snobby myself... . ewww octopus mel..gross! ive eaten squid.. but i dont like octopus, it makes me sick... i eat ALL FOOD except for octopus and artificial yellow food.

I'm half greek, liking wog food is something thats bred into me....

 

[Frigid]

ok i have a law question, whats a moot?

mastication of contentious legal issues in a simulated court environment.

it's our chance to argue our heads off over triviality.

speaking of which, i got the 'wrongful birth' scenario for torts moot on monday night

I was talking to my careers advisor about my uni applications, and as I found out my chosen degree can only be done at UWS...she told me people would give me crap but that I shouldn't listent to them, that its a good skool and offers the course I want. the I asked her in terms of employment would it become an obstacle...but she said as I want to go to the bar and work for the DPP it wouldn't be an issue... only if I wanted to work in a big firm[/QUOTE]

I can't believe u gave up the opportunity to moot! I am very dissapointed at you

after six hours of law class, having started at 9o'clock, would i challenge someone on a friday night?

don't worry, i'll analyse this torts problem tomorrow and put on a shining performance mondy night. i can't lose to two girls. ever. i might as well walk off the law building through the trapdoor on level 14 if i do.

 

[melsc]

Hey some girls make excellent mooters...I took some guys to the cleaners with their multiple failures to comply with the rule in browne and dunn and objecting to everything my witnesses said to relevance...I bet they underestimated me...an advantage of being a miget

lol melsc u worry ur pants off.. u'll make a very fine lawyer, if u were a guy i'd e-crack onto u now.

awww ur the sweetest!

mooting in legal robes...I wish

but for the fact that in university, a mock trial is known as a witness examination competition, not a moot.

there's no examining of witnesses in a uni moot

So there are two separate comps...one where u do the whole law thing and the one where u do cross etc???
Thats probably good for me...I got in trouble for being to focused on the law

I wonder if moots are fairish...mock trial I always had to prosecute cases that normally wouldn't make it past committal

 

[stamos]

in mooting one team generally has an advantage in the legal argument

but the moot is decided on how good your advocacy is, so it doesn't make much of a difference

if anything, i think it's an advantage to get the crap side

 

[melsc]

you get to moot in first year right???
*Mel runs off and sets up a tent outside the moot room "hee hee hee first in line"*

 

[MoonlightSonata]
