Equal first between the Koran and the Bible for causing so much trouble.

how do I convert a GPA in the 4.0 system to one in the 7.0 system?

Grades are definitely the number one priority for firms. Experience is a bonus. And to be getting experience in your first year is great. But what good is experience when a person can't show dedication to their studies?

I am agnostic. And I hate religion for being ridiculous. It's an embarrassment to humankind.

jealous.

that's what i think too. although are there two contexts where this could happen a) after arrest but before trial, if not granted bail: why would someone run before conviction unless they are guilty? i don't see someone who runs subsequently being acquitted. b) after conviction but before...

no, of course not. it doesn't matter where you go to, as long as you do well when you're there.

what did Hall & Wilcox have? my bag only had a pen and some lollies, no information. Maybe I lost the rest of it on the way home?

I just applied for a legal assistant-type job at a law firm, and i put in my cover letter that my average is a distinction -- would they assume that this is an average for just my law subjects? Because my overall Arts/Law average is a high distinction. Would it be misleading, to put on my resume...

this one law firm rejected me three times. first there was the original rejection, then they called twice more over a year to ask whether i was still interested, then called two weeks later and rejected me again. they said it was because i was such a good candidate that they were calling again...

now that both sydney and melbourne have had theirs for this year, let's discuss. i'm drinking from a water bottle i got from the fair, and i have an umbrella i got from the fair in my bag. what cool stuff have you gotten?

^^ living on the edge.

Ben's a douche.

what kind of people get seasonals without legal work experience?

Agreed

I wondered whether it was important to attend the ceremony. It's from a university that I've transferred out of, and the firm sponsor is one that I will probably apply to for seasonals, but it's not one of my favourites. I'd much prefer just contacting the firm and thanking them. Congrats on...

What's considered a good GPA (on the system where the max is 4.0)?

I almost always go to lectures, because you know what the lecturer wants to emphasise/thinks is important based on how long they spend on a topic, and I've gotten pretty good at predicting exam content. I've only had one unit where I didn't go to the lectures, and that was a maths subject...

Has anyone ever gotten a uni scholarship (either ones that pay fees or ones that give you cash/book vouchers)? I was wondering how difficult it is to get scholarships based on merit or equity as a current student. How poor do you have to be? How good do your grades have to be?

I don't know what uni you go to, but some have a law students' society/association that provides sample answers, but you have to go ask for them. Butterworths is helpful sometimes, but a few times the questions they've asked aren't exactly what we're learning. At least they show you a way of...
