Straight law here. Like any law school, the 'quality' of the teaching at Monash varies - and by 'quality' I mean individuals who are attentive to pedagogy and actively teach as opposed to academics who assume teaching duties (the difference between the two is clearly recognisable). At this...

A law for a 'reason'... But one could immediately counter that the process whereby specific laws achieve legal legitimation is inherently flawed or problematic (indeed, mere proclamation hardly does the community justice in terms of creating basic awareness). And strict liability offences...
