Re: Civil Liability Act/ Wrongs Act Compensation Caps being entitled to compo is one thing, but saying that he's not going to ever be able to work again or form any meaningful relationships, which is a euphamism for being a complete and utter failure with absolutely no hope, is perhaps going a...

uni = total freedom, which can also be quite a challenge since everything is in your hands and you gotta be motivated. it's quite good cos you have so much scope to do whatever you want. law school is great cos its interesting and some of our tutors/part-time lawyers have interesting...

hmmm wouldn't a defence of novus actus interveniens have succeeded? of course the but-for test of causation would have been satisfied but that is only factual causation. remembering from torts last year, i think there was also a 'common sense' test espoused in march v stramere but i think the...

Well... should I? I find it incredibly boring but no one I know is doing just a single LLB degree so would it be correct to assume that, generally speaking, a commerce degree complements a law degree and therefore an employer (of a law firm of course) will always prefer a com/law graduate over...

Hi all, So I was listening to Triple M on the way to uni today and they were talking about the new season of big brother - starts this weekend (now now let's settle down). If y'all haven't heard, the inmates do not know that there will NOT be a prize money up for grabs this year! By now you...

Re: Branded as "stupid" in law school?? out of everyone i've met at law school, no one really acts snobby cos it's really just a stinking attitude people hate and it is totally uncool, so people avoid it. at the end of the day, people won't judge you according to ur marks and if they do then...

Hi Everyone Just wanted to hear what people thought of the workload from doing four law courses per semester. At this stage I would like to give commerce a rest for a year and pick it up a year later where I'll be back to doing 2 commerce + 2 law courses per semester as I was doing last...

you do realise that there is a 'law' forum. go there, post ur question, perhaps with a snippet of ur contract, wait 24hrs and you'll have a pageful of sound legal advice. of course rely on it at ur own risk but keep in mind that it's probably just a simple contract law problem that we've all...

Re: McDonalds Wages so true mate. i worked at maccas ages ago and it was shithouse. at orientation they were emphasising on 'quality and cleanliness'. what a load of bull. it's quite common practise for crew staff to pick up buns they've dropped onto the floor and use em to make big macs etc...

if its an indian telemarketer (99% of the time), tell him that you will accept their offer if they purchase ur curry chicken. if they refuse, then offer them an alternative, eg curry beef (oops).

holy cow, so many replies! ya'll must be suuper computer umm enthusiasts! thanks for the tips!

that is so tru. during my ca achiever work placement i was happily (not) jumping between spreadsheet cells 60% of the time. as for the other fellas (yes all fellas, another reason not to do audit) on my team, they were at it 24/7. quite a spewful experience.

can someone please explain the hype around vista and how it is going to benefit the AVERAGE CONSUMER??? I almost shitted myself when I read in a vista add that "ooohhhh now you can easily play a slideshow whilst listening to music and burning a cd!" I mean for god's sake I can do that now on my...

SURVIVING law school? you've gotta be shitting me. all that stuff about "ohhhh law school is bloody tough and first year is like getting thrown into a whirlpool with sharks circling you" is complete bull. law ITSELF is not hard at all. however, the profession is demanding so they make the...

my high school science teacher told me that every time u drink a glass of water, that water has been drank by SIX differen't animals throughout history. the tossers going 'ohh noooo yucky yucky i'm gonna get poisoned!' shud realise it's just mind over matter.

couldn't agree more. DO NOT study during the holidays because you're going to do that FLAT OUT in the first semester (applies to most of 1st years although most do not admit it).

yea there shouldn't have been an 'etc' lol. i meant it isn't no.1/no.2 but definitely in the top 5.

as moonlightsonata mentioned in a prior thread, almost everything has something to do with business hence a commerce degree gives you a wide scope of employability. when you then take into consideration that law is the backbone of society it follows that a com/law combination is argubly the best...

to kill a mockingbird and 12 angry men were probably what opened my eyes to law. law and order SVU perhaps and john travolta's 'A Civil Trial' gave a pretty good insight into the law of negligence and stimulated a little interest, though the lawyer role didn't quite suit him - you'd expect him...

well if visit the UQ law school website and the course info for b.Com, that should answer all your questions. in a nutshell though, UQ certainly isn't as prestegies as the top universities like U.syd etc but rest assured that factor alone would hardly affect your employment prospects. at the end...
