Most politicians, I would say, have studied law at university... Including our current and former prime minister. Having said that, apparently Paul Keating didn't study anything lol.. not even tafe.

Strictly speaking, neither of those. For example, on Friday between 9am - 11am I have Torts, and then I have Sociology from 12-2pm and then from 3-4pm I have the tutorial for sociology and then from 4-5pm I have a Torts tutorial. It can be all over the place. What they do is they have the...

The university, as far as I know will only usually let you do 5 if you have a decent GPA. I don't think they would allow a Law student to do more than 5, it's absurd. I don't think you realise (or you're grossly underestimating) how much reading is required, there is not enough hours in a week...

Don't worry you haven't dampened my spirits more then they've already been dampened - I think about that every single day lol.. I'm living in a perpetual state of fear over what is to come next year. The thing is, these two remaining arts units are amongst some of the most boring arts units...

You're totally right about that... I'm doing 4 subjects at the moment (2 law and 2, third year arts - my final two). I can't even begin to describe the workload.. aside from being at uni for all of thursday and friday, i spend literally on average 12 hours a day studying for law and 2 or three...

5 is the max. Considering most units are usually 3-4 hours contact time per week.. that's around 20 hours of contact time. At uni you pretty much make your own schedule, but the lectures have fixed times, so you would usually try and group your tutorials as close to your lectures as possible...

lol that's hilarious. I don't think you can get stupider than that... That's like a cop who goes around hijacking cars on the weekend.

only through summer school.. I was praying and praying and praying that some of those 300 level units or even juris would be offered but alas :( Are juris, equity and business org that hard? What should I be expecting (honestly)? PS: I don't imagine first semester next year will be any...

Thanks for the advice, I might give it a miss then and just do it during the semester 2 next year. I'm going to be a dead man come this time next year, I'll be doing: LAW214 (Jurisprudence), LAW315 Constitutional and Admin Law, LAW317 Equity/Trusts and LAW456 Organisations. :(

I'm thinking of doing LAW317 - Property in Law and Equity II (Equity and Trusts) in summer school as well, but I haven't done LAW 316 (Property Law). Is this too much of a gamble? Is it too hard? I've heard that the content itself is really overwhelming and its very difficult to do well in such...

That I got in with a High Credit average, why...? Because it's a High Credit average and not something greater like a Distinction or High Distinction average.

Apologies.. :)

Getting into Macq is far more likely than USYD (to be honest). Unless your marks are phenomenal... Think about it... Even if you had a HD average, if your UAI or ATAR was like 92 or 94 you probably still wouldn't be able to get in. In my opinion that 25/75 thing is just a joke.

Macquarie only requires that you have an undergrad degree and you would probably need something like a high credit - distinction average. Maybe even less because its graduate. I transferred into their combined arts/law with like a high credit average (I still think it was a miracle). Their...

Sydney Uni's JD (Juris Doctor) criteria is based on 25% ATAR/UAI and 75% your territory results.

Sorry I should have specified, they should allow General Credit Points to be delegated to People/Planet units. I got mine exempt after a long hard battle. I totally agree about the law school thing though. Hopefully the next guy/girl recognises the importance of fixing it up.

Hopefully the next dude will get rid of that absurd people/planet requirement.

University of Newcastle Law.

Thanks for providing some more accurate information... :) Just on the first point, I assumed USYD would have more contact hours, but I didn't know for sure thats why I shied away and only talked about how Macq operated. And on point 3, I had no idea PAL leaders got paid lol... that's nuts, I...

This. The building is just a central point, it's where the lectures and tutors are, admin offices etc... Your actual classes and lectures are all over the university.
