I do Arts/Law. 5 years already. Honours for Law - MAYBE, but I'd much rather do the electives I want then do a LLM at USYD or UMELB. I take the attitude of the elitists, much rather honours or masters from Sydney or Melbourne than from the undergrad uni.

It's a massive liability!

Bahhaha. Hell no. I'm just explaining a pragmatic view of love. There's a massive difference between "in love" and "real love". It's just that at 19 I doubt there's really the ability to get there. Even if you do get there, social and personal issues will be likely to break it up, not to mention...

I don't think people have the right frame of mind for analysing the concept of love sometimes. They are too hurt or too emotionally crippled. They also don't have the requisite scientific grounding (even if it's merely a rudimentary view gained from newspapers!). Firstly, everything you feel...

There is no social life in Wollongong. I come from Wollongong. I know. You will find Sydney a much better place to live with more people who are likely to be in line with your social, political and moral outlook. Wollongong is nothing but dirty bogans, so don't worry about it.

Should do. 99.75 from NSW should be more than ample. Also apply for any other scholarship you possibly can. Including Equity, Commonwealth, Group of 8 and so on. It also depends on which state you're in though. For instance, it's easier for a person from the Northern Territory to gain that...

Liberal Arts in the US/USYD style which involves languages, arts and science components.

I don't necessarily think there is anything wrong with the American model except the exorbitant fees. If we had both "tiers" under the HECS scheme then there would not be any issue. Both, at the time of making my choice in degree and in retrospect, I think I would have preferred to have done...

Back to Wollongong for about a week and then hopefully off to Melbourne.

Angry Gleeson and Kirby: "The decision of this Court in Nagle v Rottnest Island Authority[4] is not authority for the proposition that the coastline of Australia should be ringed with signs warning of the danger of invisible rocks. That was a decision about the legal principles relevant to the...

Back to B&G

Yeah, what twistedd said. There is no legally enshrined right to legal aid. There is merely a right to a fair trial, but what is a "fair trial" is discretionary :P

Man I love Kirby's wacky approach. Infringement of rights to chatels (property). Great stuff! Not to mention the obligatory references to the constitution and international obligations. Anyway, I think it's a good decisions and it makes complete sense. Sony advanced some quite silly arguments...

Maybe the expect you to refer to tort law reform such as the Civil Liabilities Act 2002.

Isn't the "Full Court" when 3 or more justices are sitting? You might be confusing the term with "Full bench" which means they're all there at the same time.
