Hello! No, not Mexico for me, unfortunately, just a lot of stressing and fighting off sleepiness. Went to the easter show yesterday - naughty!! But I've finally finished :) I've used Canson, Digital Pulse and Aqua, and have compared them all, because there are a few quotes between them all on...

Stop procrastinating and dreaming of bubz and put something into the FUSION!! I agree with kegs, Rob would be awesome :D

How can you lobby a (admittedly corrupt) CO-OPERATIVE bookshop? The theory would go the prices are as low as possible because co-op = not for profit. He is such a dick. Everyone go the greenie! :D Steve and I posted our votes off yesterday.

Haha, beautiful, Mike!! I like how he said he was "involved" (or some similar word that implied even less participation) in keeping the HECS fees stable.

Haha, its the Ma Monster trying to stop you voting! ;) I got a voting paper.. as in the little blue thing? I can't believe there are only two candidates. Please everyone vote, because its only Nick against the Ma, and so we can actually make a difference (if the whole thing isn't already...

It means Victor Ma disappears (hopefully). I dont know how they are going to get that idiot to sign over his powers to the uni. Interesting to see MUSR did it without a qualm. Also important news via email: public holiday for APEX Summit 7 September. Woohoo!!

I've heard that it is a general rule to any 'profession', including psychs, doctors, lawyers (for more obvious reasons) etc. I once heard its because they are above the 'ordinary person' senario... A bit rich, I think, but possibly true. Jamie, how is Honours going?!?!?!?!

Its only once you're a Solicitor (ie. are registered) that you cant sit on a jury. While we are still students we can be involved in the (early) stages of jury duty. I say 'early' because no doubt either the prosecution or defence would surely deem us unsuitable jury members and kick us out...

I've been called up before. All you do is take the Jury Duty summons in to SES, and they will get the Uni JP to write you a letter, with a transcript attached. All you have to do is send it into the Court, and they will excuse you. The letter basically says that if you accept jury duty you...

In comparison to when he was President of the NSW Court of Appeal, yes he has become a bit more... conservative! I still see him as the plaintiff's hero, though. And his judgements, to me, remain balanced. He takes a different approach, in that he seems to take current societal opinions into...

Mwahahahahahha!! No, they aren't getting them to lie (that would be lying to the system we have decided to 'serve and protect' in a sense), just making their witnesses aware of how they should answer if they want to ensure they get their compensation, or dont have to pay compensation; have to...

Not a whole lot on pre-jud stuff, like you I have a little history lesson (in one sentence!). I have a few quotes from random people saying that common law and equity were always designed to be under the one title of 'law', but nothing hard-and-fast. I've more just tried to make anti-fusionists...

Personally, I cannot agree more. While I readily admit I am a Kirby-lover, I think some of the decisions of the HC do leave me speechless, especially in the area of tort (perhaps the most important area of law to remedy a plaintiff). I am also in a bit of a anti-HC mood, because of the number...

They always prep their witness, so that they aren't up there on the stand and say something totally incorrect, or dig themselves into a hole. They even prep them in family law for cross-examination! Where I (used) to work, they would have little meetings and would get all their witnesses to come...

Is that the case where its at a soccer stadium or something? The name Mr Brown is strangly familiar from when I did witness... My boy was my witness, too! I think he enjoyed it, but said all the wrong things, too! Damn men! ;)

I love your analogy; its like a whole romeo and juliet romance! ;) I'm pro-fusion. I agree that the anti-fusionists have a point historically, but it just cant be supported this day in age. The law is there for one simple reason: to remedy a wrong. And thats what both CL and equity aim to do...

Ah Jamie, I knew it: you love law! ;) The fusion fallacy is this. Historically, equity and common law were seen as separate, mainly because equity was developed to 'fill in the gaps' of the common law. As such, they have developed specific remedies/actions etc to the other side (think...

Hate this essay with a passion. And it doesnt help that all my tutor has said is "the question is, 'are you pro or anti-fusion'". Hello?! Some more structure would be great! So I've just kinda got a structure down where I go through a bit of the history, but the majority of it is case law, and...

My law lecturer told us this too, and said we should 'savour' the 'old' way of doing things (ie. doing anything for yourself) because the robots will be invading soon. I just hope they have robots that kick the international students off study desks when they are sleeping.... They just need a...

Me! Me! Except I'm brunette, so maybe I could throw in a little Olivia action too, and save all the molested children? I never had the courage to do mooting, so good on you Scarecrow!! I'm so proud; 1/3 of our little 2004 law group is growing up and being mature about her law degree... I might...
