Of course. But I suggest the difference in this regard between individual lecturers/courses within a given faculty would be far greater than that between different faculties considered as a whole. The quality of facilities is not so much an issue with a law school--all you need is a law lib...

lol. The point is--Torts is Torts is Torts. Doesn't matter where you do it, a law degree is a pretty stock standard product. I'd wager that the main differences between unis are more to do with peripheral matters than the actual core courses. How did you get into med school without...

Plus it'd probably be a crap answer. Anyone who is content to take their answer from some other uni student without question probably doesn't belong at uni in the first place.

Bernie Madoff. Q.E.D. PS: try this source for some good ideas

Probably a good idea to consult the LPAB. From what I remember from Legal Ethics, it's possible to be admitted with a criminal record, depending on a whole lot of factors like the severity of the offence, how long ago it was, behaviour since etc. etc. Check out the Legal Profession Act 2004.

I've found that often, where there is a crucial case in which the majority judgment is splintered into several different approaches, the lecturer or tutor will clarify what is expected in an exam. Often there is one judgment which is the most compelling, or commentators have found a way in which...

Try your library (past papers), law student society (sample answers) or one of those Butterworths Q and As books.

join the police force?

If law was just 'dressing' for your commerce degree, and you only intend on going into business, then yes. I don't intend on practicing, but I don't think my law degree is useless or a waste of time. If anything, it's that pesky B.A....

It's like saying you shouldn't study history unless you want to be a historian. A degree as broad as law needn't be strictly vocational.

Shit, really? Well, I best quit immediately. What a lot of silliness that last 3yrs has been. :rolleyes:

In time it will die down from open panic to silent dread :D

Yeah fair enough, that legal history stuff is pretty dry. But really, 'soft' law topics like history/theory are nothing to be afraid of. Easier than black-letter stuff, anyway. If you really do despise law so much, and your opinion doesn't change by the end of the semester, transfer out. There...

Come off it mate. Five weeks into Torts and you're all ashes and sack-cloth and gnashing of teeth? If you don't enjoy Law, you don't enjoy it. But let's not pretend that an LLB is some particularly cruel form of torture.

Very easy. Edit: and by that I mean passing. As long as you turn up to class, do a fair amount of reading and construct some sort of summary you shouldn't have any trouble passing. Law isn't all that difficult, unless you're really shooting for the stars.

Wurridjal v The Commonwealth of Australia [2009] HCA 2 (2 February 2009) To which French CJ replied:

Mmm I saw that. I need to read the full judgment to see if there was really any sense to it....was there?

Kirby given court post 'to shut him up' | The Australian An interesting look into the backstory of Kirby getting up onto the highest bench in the land. He certainly occupied a very interesting position, being a controversial Keating pick for the bench who basically only sat during the Howard...

Of course not. Life's greatest pleasure is to be found in crushing those socially inferior to you. Hot tip for those playing along at home: businesspeople are just as likely to be stupid, pigheaded and unpleasant as anyone else.

God forbid you help a fellow human being. Fucking peasants.
