Chill people! You're both smart, no need to fight about it. We're all people interested in law here. Instead of slanging each other can we slang someone worthy?

Like say, the AG...

Well it does seem like we all love to argue...I guess thats to be expected My mums cousin whose a barrister told me, "to be a barrister all you need to do is be able to read a lot and like to argue"

Somehow I think it'd be a bit more difficult than that

Is it? I mean, you form an argument through research and learning. If your research and your ability to learn is weakened, so is your argument. Your technique of delivering your argument is also important, and your conviction does mean a great deal, imo, because it shows your confidence in your research and content.

Of course there's looking good in black, but we all know black is the new black (and is slimming).

Exactly I experienced this in mock trial I often found when I was the solicitor...I hated that so much, that I would tell the barrister what to say, yet they would either not say it in the same way or not say it with confidence...thus it did not have a significant impact. I also found when I didn't know what the hell to say next *like when the other side called and expert witness which I wasnt expecting* if I said what I had to with confidence 99% of the time the judge would believe it as opposed to the times were I looked like I didn't know what I was doing

:uhhuh: lol

 

[Meldrum]

Yeah, I s'pose so.

I just get all freaked out when I hear about all the research, care for clients and the special jury tips you need to convince the court.

hee hee hee we were allowed to chose the gender of our clients since they were unisex names so what I would do is if we were prosc for an assault case I'd make our victim a girl *this worked especially well with guys skools since they would always act as guys* thus making it more believeable that the guy hit the girl.

We would also get our witnesses to be guys instead of girls just to get the other side confused... I was always funny when they would say...he/she errrr... he?

 

[MoonlightSonata]

Too bad you can't do that in real life

I think barristers have an obligation to take on clients referred to them, so long as there is a reasonable price offered

I could be wrong, but I think only criminal and deformation cases are heard infront of a jury.

Yes, the cab-rank rule. Generally, they can only decline a case if they think they wouldn't be capable or able to serve the client due to experience, conflict of interest, or incorrect fee amounts.

Juries are sometimes used as fact-finders in civil trials, such as negligence cases, though not often.

 

[Meldrum]

Sure.
It must have been someone else using your computer who wrote earlier:

God, quit your bitchin'.

None of you are SC's yet.
You all will be.
You'll all be as good as eachother.

How many are on a civil jury again??? was it 9 or 6 or something...

 

[melsc]

Yeah I have a feeling I either learnt it in year 11 or yr 10 commerce...I just have to cram all the LCMD in my head now like R v Easom - Larceny trial is 9th August...FUN! not

Are you sick of me yet soon it will get to the point that you guys give me incorrect legal facts to get rid of me...so I fail the HSC and don't study law lol

 

[Meldrum]

I think it's:

4 - Coroners
6 - Civil
12 - Criminal
