    Favourite Cases

    Call me a nerd, I don't care. Post your favourite cases, or some of the weirder ones that you've come across during your degree. Mine are: 2. McCoskar v The State [2005] - A Fijian case. An Australian (McCoskar) went to Fiji and spent a significant amount of time with a young man. When he was...

    What's the appeal of Law?

    We are all huge nerds. If you do law, you have to love it ;). It's also gotten to the point where I have a list of my favourite cases, now that's weird! Hell, I'm going to make a favourite cases thread!

    Evidence law - how to succeed?

    It's an easy course. Just get your head around the 102nd ALRC report if your course has a theory/law reform component and make sure that you thoroughly understand hearsay, since that can trip you up fairly easily if you aren't paying attention.

    International Relations VS International Studies

    B. International Relations is just an arts degree with compulsory courses and a fancy title and a higher UAI to attract school-leavers. UNSW's course is probably the same. Just do a B.A., it has more flexibility.

    F**k off were full

    Maybe those girls are just environmentalists, and they're concerned about dwindling resources and limited water supplies in regional centers and major capital cities?

    What's the appeal of Law?

    I vaguely remember a case from criminal law about a footballer who assaulted a woman outside a pub in Canberra and was found to be so intoxicated that he was in an automative state and wasn't in control of his actions. It vitiated his mens rea, and he won the case. I'm fairly sure the...

    What's the appeal of Law?

    That case was decided on its facts, and "the homosexual advance defense" is not applicable in nearly every similar situation. In the specific case that you're thinking about, the defendant had been sexually assaulted by a string of men for years and a court found there to be provocation when a...

    As to the last question, no idea. Get the number for University Accommodation Services and give them a call.

    How do i get to ANU from Sydney?

    1) Catch a Greyhound or Murrays bus from Central station to Canberra. The bus stop in Canberra is at the Jolimont Center, which is literally a 5 minute walk from campus. 2) You'd be able to see the rooms, just ask one of the office staff at the college. Just make sure you get in at around...

    What's the appeal of Law?

    Personally I think people who do law for the money have been fibbed to. When it comes to graduate salaries and even salaries five to six years PEA you aren't going to earn significantly more than many other graduates unless you're exceptional. For me, money was a factor in figuring out whether I...

    Ursula Hall

    It's a good college, I wouldn't worry. The people there are quite studious, but no more studious then residents at Bruce. It just tends to get a bad rep because it's quite small. 1) and 2) are rumours and are completely untrue, it's an ANU owned college and the ANU doesn't have the right to...

    ANU Fully Catered Accommodation Offers

    Don't panic guys, you won't be on park benches. All first year undergrads from outside the ACT have guaranteed accommodation if they apply through UAS. You may end up in some bizarre places as the ANU tries to cope with demand though. In the first semester of 2008 the ANU had to rent out an...

    Northbridge Bar Convicted Over Law Students' Pub Crawl

    Ten beers is a binge, but it's nowhere near as severe as the initial article makes out. The people who vomited must have been drinking more than their fair share :)

    ANU Fully Catered Accommodation Offers

    I have alot of friends who go there. It doesn't have much of a social life because - - It's new and doesn't have the same culture as other colleges while student committees at old colleges like Bruce are well established with sponsors, returning leaders and past ideas and events to draw upon...

    Law w/ 94.65 UAI

    If you do straight arts at UNSW and then transfer to law, you'll obviously get credit from the arts courses towards your combined degree. If you really want to do law though you should be considering other universities. The other option is taking postgraduate law, and that only takes another...
