Generally for people who are concerned with tute rego obstacles : If absolutely every available option is full, email the unit coordinator and let them know you are validly enrolled but can't register in a tute. (I assume this is the original poster's position?) In this case, the lecturer may...

If you are talking about the Law Access clerkship that is incorrect as far as I know - apart from the fact that it is the NSW A-G, obviously Canberra not being in NSW. If you mean generally, again not so. It depends on what organisation/department you want to work for. Eg, Legal Aid NSW quite...

If you're interested in 'public sector' clerkships, I think from memory the A-G's Law Access clerkship runs in winter as well as summer.

I ordered mine on January 2nd i think? and I got an email a few days later saying that there'd be a 4-6 week delay, so i'm gonna call in a week and check up on it. It's particularly ridiculous if you have summer school... i've had classes since 6 Jan and have been asked by security why i keep...

2752 is a general... i suppose... 'holding' code that you are given. For the purposes of enrolment numbers etc all B Law/B Bus students are put into this course code. Once you enrol and choose which major stream you want to take, you're then given the new code. This is one of the benefits of...

Yes and no. Say for example you have the main car park at parra campus, which is out the front, vs the one right near the old computer lab building. It's a much longer distance from the main car park to most buildings than the smaller one near the old comp lab building. So, when all the blue...

A relief for those who have permanent positions, but maybe not so for those who are temporary or contract :) I worked at Legal Aid head office one year over summer break and the woman who was my supervisor said she'd been there for years but still was only 'temporary', it was just that her...

Seems that public sector has been hit harder than private sector though. I have heard that Legal Aid isn't replacing a lot of people and that A-G's graduate recruitment is postponed/cancelled for 2009.

Suppose it depends on who you talk to. The impression I got came from a firm I had an interview with - they were tossing up whether they needed another clerk or not due to downturn in work. That said, they specialise in high end property cases and international abduction/hague cases so they...

Not surprising to hear. I have been told by partners of firms, albeit small firms but successful and well regarded ones in family law related fields, that things are tight at the moment as workload has really fallen. A lot are choosing not to replace all their clerks and other staff upon their...

There's a tennis court, basketball court, there's volleyball nets around (not sure where you gotta get them from) that can be put up. Unfortunately there's a limited amount of space for anything due to the lack of parking, since the 'temporary' car park on the ovals seems to be a little more...

The lack of spots is my only issue - i don't mind paying if i can actually get a spot but not if there's twice as many people on campus per the number of spots. It annoys me even more when people with red or blue tickets park in yellow spots because they're too lazy to walk an extra 50 metres...

Hence why i said some campuses. C'town is a pretty crappy transport transport wise (at least from out my way).

I suppose you should just be happy it didn't go up by more as rumour was originally that it was going to be double.... The parking problems are not UWS's fault per se - it's another company that runs the stuff now. I called the uni to find out what was happening with them at the end of last...

Provided that you turn up to classes; do as much of the set readings as you can (you don't always have to do all, but the more you can do the better usually); make a real effort as opposed to a one hour job the night before on your assignments you should be fine. Basically - it's pretty easy to...

No one can register yet - that is what tutorial registration is for. All students completing units in a particular school will have to register at teh same time same day online. See Tutorial Registration | University of Western Sydney (UWS) for further detail.

Yes - every interview I have had since beginning uni that has been a bonus point in so far as getting a job. However - whilst a bonus in employers eyes it can be a negative for you - i know that some employes take this as a sign that you don't 'need' money as much so are more willing to...

That's what the unit outline/'official' book lists are for - they tell you what to buy =. if it says it is "text" or "required", you have to get it. if it says "recommended" - wait to check with the teacher as it is an extra thta you may or may not really need. It is oftne useful to get your...

If cost is a concern - check out lawbooks.com or textbookexchange or general student ads on campus/online --> will save you a bunch (provided the editions are right etc). Unless youre 'ilke me and just can't be bothered getting books from different sources, its a really good way to save money...

It's more i suppose, tutoring than mentoring since its a bigger group sort of thing Yes tehre are some.. from memory mainly torts and business law (which isn't a law unit per se, its the business course version of intro to law) regularly have them. Usually they come visit the class and let you...
