Oh. My. God.

That was supposed to only take 3 hours - the same as a sit down. What a lie. It took me 15 hours of solid work. My brain is fried. Totally disgusting. She is so mean giving it out at 2pm. I fell into bed at 4am, up again at 8:30.

but...

I HAVE FINISHED MY LAW DEGREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :D :D :D


provided I don't fail litigation


It doesn't have the same excitement to it as finishing the HSC. Maybe because I have to go back to work tomorrow and have no fun holidays planned.

Still deciding on 2 electives..... probably give it a shot at the international moot?

Too bad, alot of the units are interdisciplinary -looking forward to some real black letter law stuff

I am doing:
Sem 1

Access to Justice Placement
Health Law and ethics

Sem 2

Tabris I think International Moot is Jessup which was chosen mid last year.

I hope Trial Advocacy runs next year!

i was just glancing at some of the pre requisites for 400/500 law electives, and most seem to be flexible. does this mean, i can start doing these electives as soon as 2nd and third year?

Some of the 400/500 electives only require 6 CP at 300 level, it means that you can start doing electives in your 2nd semester 3rd year

well im doing

IT Law.

and Environmental law.

i know what it law is like.

but havent heard much about environmental law?

is it good?

my other two options are advanced administrative law (snore) and european law.

i read about euro law and it seems fun although i'll probably hate the mock trials. seems like a lot of work.

EU law is quite enjoyable. Roy is fantastic and really knows his stuff, and the content is interesting; it's refreshing to see how another legal system works (and how it doesn't).

Mind you, it isn't as cruisy as other units attendanc-wise because all it is is seminars (twice a week), so you need to be there for 80% of them. The mock trials are no work at all; we planned our arguments with the opponents and all you have to do is sit up the front of the class and give your little spiel. The assessments are quite challenging - and he did mention he'd make them harder this year after we complained about one being too easy (sorry guys!!)

IWR, it totally feels wrong to hear you talk about going back to uni. You should be graduating with the rest of us!! (not that I'm attending the graduation, but still).

im actually excited to go back.

i miss it.

oh ofcourse give it exactly 6 weeks and i'll be up here complaining about so and so assignment and venting and posting many santas.

i stuck with it and environmental so i could go to uni on tuesdays because i have some non-law friends there on that day.

i was never going to graduation anyway so its not a big deal graduating halfway though the year. even if i did finish last year and went to graduation im not really friends with any of them so don't think im missing out.

this two subject bandit will graduate with his fellow half year slackers.

Hi guys

So, I have been reading your posts over the past few months and finally registered so I can join in the fun!

I'm in my final year (YAY!) of LLB:

Semester 1
Remedies, Trade Practices and Health Law

Semester 2
Litigation, Bus Orgs (urgh!), Media (?), ADR

I'm external, as I work full time at a law firm, and hoping somebody else is doing some of the same so we can share and share alike...
