    clerkship questions

    No, I'm not a shut-in. melsc, if you were me would you apply everywhere? I don't feel that confident. My grades aren't that good, and my experience and extra-curriculars are minimal.

    clerkship questions

    Should I go nuts and apply to 25- 30 firms? Assuming I put in the time to write well-written and targeted cover letters, and do decent answers to any questions, is it too much to put in so many seasonal clerkship applications? I am really interested in only about 7 particular firms, and the...

    Does doing law honours mean you do two fewer law electives?

    Make Me A Supermodel - Australia

    This show is more realistic, but I still think the quality of the photos you get on ANTM is much better. Tyra was an actual supermodel, Jennifer is a cheerleader. ANTM purposely tries to do commercial stuff like Payless as well as doing 'high fashion'. That has nothing to do with the quality of...

    what does a person put into an unsolicited cover letter?

    I'm emailing some firms in my area, and most of them are pretty small. What is the best way to say: I'm looking for work that would suit someone with very little experience like me. And should I pretend to have an interest in their firm in particular? I know that's what's expected for...

    what exactly is the subject equity about?

    I get the whole idea of the difference between common law and equity, but I don't understand how they can make a whole unit out of it. What kind of topics are studied? Equitable remedies in detail, I'd guess. But what else? Do law firms consider this to be an important subject?

    Are Obama Supporters Racists&Discriminatory??

    I heard that a large number of black people who had never voted before, voted for the first time as soon as the candidate had the same colour skin as them. Racists. It's kind of ironic that some people judged him for the colour of his skin, rather than the "content of his character". But he...

    UTS - Semester 2 2008 Guestimates + Official Results (17 December 2008) thread

    Isn't it better to make a specific guess, rather than just the grade?

    Make Me A Supermodel - Australia

    Shanina is just dumb. Quote: modelling is my longlife dream. This show is such poor quality compared to America's next top model, and even Australia's next top model.

    extra-curricula - UNSW or USyd?

    imo there's no big difference between the two in that regard.

    Summer clerkships

    We're always told to tailor our covering letter to the firm, but I'm not sure exactly how to do that. I was thinking of going to the firm's website and choosing which of their practice areas are most interesting to me and mentioning that in my cover letter, and maybe also mentioning that I agree...

    Law school rankings

    I'm on it now, I'm not rolling in money, but it's enough plus a little bit more. I definitely appreciate recorded lectures, as a back-up if I miss something or if I can't make it. I just dislike it when people want to have minimal involvement in university because they can't manage their money...

    have you ever done well in a law exam even though you thought you stuffed up badly?

    I had a terrible exam today, so I'd appreciate any hope.

    That's why there are Centrelink payments. What's the point of being a student if you can't even attend?

    Taking a Year Off?

    http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,24437699-17044,00.html Robert Cooper from Flinders. I am jealous. I like how the dean of the school has to fit in a positive comment about the university's law school: "Understanding courts and the justice system is really one of the...

    Summer clerkships

    [RIGHT] Is it really that bad, or is that just an excuse? I've not found it difficult to get a job recently.

    Bestiality in Australia

    Sex with animals is sick, cruel and disgusting. Animals are too dumb to consent, so sex with them is rape. I remember that news story about a year or two ago about this guy who had sex with his dog, and the poor dog wasn't the same afterwards. Its whole personality changed, and I think it had...
