If understanding something provides an immoral opportunity to circumvent it, should I remain an inert, uneducated lump? Seriously, if people didn't understand the law and its loopholes and problems because it would give them an opportunity for 'wrong doing', then those who make the law could...

I have a terrible habit of rubbing my eyes and giving myself awful panda eyes, so I don't bother with mascara. I think I had some Max Factor stuff or something, but I haven't touched it in years - so I guess it should go in the bin. God, between this and barely taking care of my hair, I'm...

Get up. Maybe brush it. Shower but don't wash it or let it get wet, leave. It's the I-can't-be-bothered regime.

Every single person who I know interviewed for the Melbourne University Law Review got rejected, myself included. I feel your pain. Then again, I'm only a second year. Plenty of years left to go through the painstaking application process :\

Why not just, 'Hey. I see you around here a lot, and I hear you're so and so's friend. It's a really small world, I know ---... I thought it might be nice to say hi,' etc etc. Just talk to him. Really. Stress less.

I think they've introduced something like that rule here, now that overcrowding is becoming an issue. Security guards wander around sometimes and take stuff to the front desk and leave a note if they think it's been too long, but that doesn't happen very often.

I can't stand people who leave their mountains of textbooks and paper at the limited number of carrel desks in the law library and go off to class/lunch/whatever for two hours, especially now that it's exam time and the library is so crowded that it's difficult to get a decent seat. Though that...

After not drinking coke for about a year, I now find it quite vile. Sprite now and then is all right, or Solo, but if there's ice tea, I'll go that over soft drink any day.

I suspect I'd probably bank the lot of it and use the interest to keep myself and my family comfortable while I'm at uni.

I had a job that I worked at for around five hours shifts, twice a week, and near the end of the semester that just got to be too much with all my assignments draining my every spare second, so I slowed down and I'm more or less on a break now. I have no idea how you cope with three full days of...

I once knew a guy who shaved between his eyebrows. Worst look ever. Pretty much just walk into a beautician's and ask if they have time to fix your eyebrows. They'll probably fit you in that day.

I'm doing Law/Creative Arts at Melbourne Uni, if you want to ask me some questions about substantiative sort of things.

I had a few around my hips when I had a growth spurt, but they've faded so much (and I'm so pale anyway), they may as well be invisible.

Four hours on Mondays, five hours on Tuesdays, four hours on Wednesdays and two hours on Thursdays - so 15 hours overall, over four days. I go to tutorial services, too, though, so add another two hours a week.

I tend to have the long notes I take in class in a folder, with page numbers, colour coding and section divides, then 1-2 separate pages of basic principles to mainly refer to, and a few pages of summarised case facts to jog my memory about which case was which. The principles and case facts...

All of the above. My wrist is so damned tired.

Law doesn't need it, for sure. I was awful at methods and yet I'm still in law. You just need to be able to add up the hours of reading and subtract that from the hours you'd otherwise spend sleeping.

Wait. Seriously, just hold off the face metal for now. You want to present as clean and studious an image to the interviewers - even if they know that they shouldn't be influenced by piercings, it would probably do so anyway. Image is a huge part of how people interpret you. Your classmates'...

At Melbourne Uni, a pass is 50-64, and 65-69 is a H3 (a credit).

IRAC - Issue, Rule, Application, Conclusion. What issue is at question (eg 'is X a third party to the contract?'), the rule ('it was stated in X v Y that...'), how the rule applies to the party in question ('prima facie, X would be considered...'), and a conclusion stating whether you think your...
