Relevant: Breaks In The Track : The Leveraged Sell-Out Modified for Australia: Postscript: Breaks are just harder to catch if you're not on the track.

There's no clash here either - strictly speaking, the defence lawyer's only obligation is to provide the best possible defence for the client, subject to the usual hedging. In Shuttle's example, the lawyer could not plead that the defendant did not commit the act in question, but there are a...

You might've done it, but you wouldn't be guilty. There's a difference.

Well, everyone can get one. But there's not many situations in which one is required - no such thing as court-appointed attorneys in Australia (see Kable though). And there's nothing technical about innocent until proven guilty. This is why Random's comments are so lulz-worthy - it is...

Work in a top-tier firm until you feel your skills are up to scratch and then strike it out for yourself.

If you haven't worked out the distinction between a solicitor and a barrister yet, you might be in more trouble than you think for the LSAT. Also, who the fuck aspires to charging clients for travelling time?

what is this i don't even

If you're disciplined enough to excel at a top-tier university for five years, keeping it up in the workplace can't be as bad as you make it out to be.

That's normally how I can tell that I'm right.

It really depends on what your ambitions are after you finish the law degree. If you don't want to work in commercial law or for a significant government agency (DPP etc.) then it doesn't matter so much. If you do want to work in commercial law, going to a university with a good reputation (Go8...

No.

Scoring near 100% in ever assessment task is unimpressive, kid. More to the point, though, it's got nothing to do with preparing you for studying law. If you can do well enough at legal studies to jack your UAI up and get into law, then I say go for it. Just don't think it'll give you an edge on...

Well, you're wrong. The "substantive material" in legal studies covered in two weeks in first year and is of zero benefit. It's not even of benefit in terms of telling you whether you'll like the law. In my view, it may even be deceptive.
