Re: mooting layout Mooting notes are a personal matter, but there are some common things you should keep in mind. Namely, never write out a speech, and keep your notes to a minimum. If you write out extensive notes, then you will inevitably be tempted to constantly refer to them, even when you...

Hark the herald angels sing Glory to the newborn King!

Hollis v Vabu Pty Ltd (2001) 207 CLR 21 at 45-46, Para 58, per Gleeson CJ, Gaudron, Gummow, Kirby and Hayne JJ: So the answer seems to be that the terms "independent contractor" and "employee" are not determinative.

Freehills clearly dominated this year.

I got the belt a couple of times from my father when I was young. Only for really major offences though. Usually it was just a hand smack. My mother's weapon of choice was the wooden spoon, and for extra punishment a spatula.

Well that is the argument of the respondent, and indeed the issue, but not the grounds of appeal. The school is the appellant. The grounds of appeal were that the Court of Appeal erred in taking the view that the exclusion from the school after the criminal proceedings had been discontinued was...

Re: Grounds for Appeal and Issues How about you first read the case and tell us what you think the issues are.

Don't forget however, that you don't have to practice in law. As I said, it is a valuable degree for any commercial career

Peter Butt's Land Law is brilliant. I recommend it to everyone!

Law is very valuable for any commercial career. Practicing law is but one road.

That's true actually

Re: Why chose law??? Reasons for choosing any degree are generally the same: interest and career. If you are interested in law, and/or want to practice, then those are good reasons. If you want to open up commercial career opportunities, law is a good degree to combine with commerce. There is...

They are quite strict about it. My guess is that to award you with a UNSW law degree they want you to have completed virtually all of your studies there. Any more than one year elsewhere is unacceptable. It would be like completing 4.5 years at Gold Coast Uni or something and then transferring...

I would recommend a straight LLB if you are after decent recognition

Ah that's fine then :)

Left-ism: unfortunately you can't do that because graduate law is for graduates. That is, you have to have completed a degree to gain entry to graduate law. Unless you have completed a degree already, you are an undergraduate.

^ Exactly.

Left-ism, you should be aware that you cannot transfer to UNSW or USyd with any more than 1 year of university study. That is, you can only transfer at the end of your first year of uni. After that, you can't. Both law faculties do not allow it. So you can't transfer from USyd, to UWS law, to...

It is very hard to get an HD average -- even in first year. If you're at UNSW or USYD you will only be doing 2 law subjects in your first year of law and it will probably be easier to gain HDs in your other subjects. But even so, gaining HDs at university in any faculty is a very difficult...

There is an extensive section in the Law Guide on that.
