If anyone needs to buy textbooks or study guides I'm selling a bunch. I have textbooks for: contracts torts evidence civil procedure corporate law advanced corporate law private international law/conflict of laws property/land law criminal law fed con/public law And study guides (Butterworts...

What happened here? Admittedly, it was useful during clerkship season but this forum is just awful.

While that holds true for pretty much every subject at uni, your obvious penchant for proving other people wrong doesn't really help anyone here. If that poster enjoys legal studies and does well in it, then it's a good choice. My only advice would be to try and strike a balance between...

Like I said, it's a difficult subject to broach. However a forum like this one seems perfect for asking such questions. Flamearrows - You are under no obligation to answer so why not refrain from imposing your obvious flare for discussion board dramatics and allow those that wish to answer to...

What are your plans?
