Anyone here involved? What did you think of it? French CJ asked some really good questions during the grand final.

Well is there such thing as a criminal law clerkship? Many criminal law firms only have a handful of lawyers, many of who are very experienced and started their career from somewhere like legal aid. Is this the general way to get into a reputable criminal law firm, seeing that many of them do...

Hello all, Has anyone here worked at the DPP? I'd be grateful to hear from someone who has worked at the DPP about the pros/cons. I do hear that criminal law is a pretty interesting field. I also hear that the female-to-male ratio is pretty good too.

Hi all, Has anyone here had experience with having a final exam re-marked because they did not feel that it accurately reflected their performance? I was so sure (in fact, certain) that I would get a D and an HD for two of my courses but ended up with shithouse final grades for them which I do...

G'day, Does anyone know where I can find the full judgment of the Gordon Wood trial? Cheers.

ok so i've been accepted to do an exchange for a semester over at the school of law at the university of leeds and was wondering if anyone had any opinions about this particular institution. the time's online good university guide ranked their school of law consistently as being in the top...

anyone here done jessup? exactly how intense is it? somewhere around 30hrs per week in the library over the summer holidays or does it involve staying there after hours (with your after hours access) and literally sleeping there on a mattress your team mates brought in?

ok so random thought, if a judge wants to sue someone, would they hire a lawyer or would they represent themselves and quote themselves as authority? in a similar vein, when Kirby J retires can he go back to being a barrister and if so will he just quote himself as authority and tell whichever...

Hi all Just a rather curious question seeing that the other day I heard that the dad of a friend of a friend of mine, who is the manager of a complex consisting of 25 units (takes care of gardening, keeping the place neat and tidy etc), has had his periodic payment for those services witheld...

Hi all, The story is this: a friend of a friend of mine signed up to Fitness First at the beginning of the year but later thought "stuff it" and never bothered further with it. Only yesterday she received a letter saying that she has an outstanding amount of $271.6 and they'll take legal...

Hi All, Perhaps a nebulous question with no real answer, but how do elective subjects compare with core subjects in terms of difficulty? I've heard that subjects (electives) which are usually taken up in later years are not as difficult as some of the core subjects such as property law and...

Hi all, Has anyone here considered doing an exchange program to the United States? I'm thinking of going over there in 2 years and was wondering... Would it be taught at a much more difficult level since law in the US is a prostgrad course? Would it feel a little odd being in classes...

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...

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...

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...

G'day Everyone, Would there happen to be anybody out there who is involved in, was involved in, or knows anything about this so-called 'Deloitte Development Program'? I have my first event for this program this Thursday at 8.30am with breakfast being served and all they've really told me was...

G'day folks! Just wanted to ask a quick question about vicarious liability. The most recent cases of Hollis v Vabu [2001] HCA 44 and Sweeney v Boylan Nominees [2006] HCA 19 were concerned with distinguishing between a 'contract of empoyment' from a 'contract of service' (i.e. 'employee' vs...
