    Branded as "stupid" in law school?

    Re: Branded as "stupid" in law school?? Yes there will always be bitchy people but what I am saying is that uni is a different environment from a bitchy all girls school. You have the opportunity to meet different people, both boys and girls, and more scope in being able to choose your...

    Branded as "stupid" in law school?

    Re: Branded as "stupid" in law school?? Someone once said to me law students are "insecure over achievers". I thought that was funny. Stop worrying about a UAI score, the HSC is over for you forever and start thinking about all the fun you are going to have at uni and guys you are going to...

    Law at Notre Dame or UWS?

    are you going to do arts/law or com/law at UWS? After you mentioned that there is a 20% interest on the loan for the fee paying course at ND Uni I would say hell no, stick with UWS.

    Law at Notre Dame or UWS?

    I think that report is BS. The law faculty is the only faculty where they have conducted a survey regarding the perception of quality but don't have any results for actual performance which is more important in my opinion. Their research is thus incomplete. They have Melb Uni ranked 1 for...

    Law at Notre Dame or UWS?

    Hi Ari, I agree with goan Crazy, go with the degree that interests you the most and it looks like you like arts over business. Have you done business studies for you HSC? What interests you about an arts degree? I wouldn't worry to much about choosing between ND and UWS. I don't know much...

    Employment prospects - D average?

    Re: D average - clearing up Yeah, one lecturer told me that using other peoples notes is not a good idea because it is the process of writing notes which prepare/learn your material for exams. She said that reading other peoples notes is ok to see how other people organise their notes but...

    Employment prospects - D average?

    Re: D average - clearing up Thanks again Moonlight for all your info. Why do you think notes are highly overrated? Also, this guy sounds like a genius, was most of HD's b/w 90-100%. I think he will be the next chief justice of the HC!

    Employment prospects - D average?

    Re: D average - clearing up . I would LOVE to get my hands on his notes, is he in the habit of sharing them with mere mortals such as myself :P How high is his high distinction average? Also, not that I am interested in working for one of the big law firms but are they looking...

    Four law subjects per semester

    Hi hfis, I am just wondering, does your marks decrease significantly each time you add a law subject? Also do you find yourself needing more time to study or do you allocate the same study time but just spend less time studying for each time you pick up a new subject?

    Four law subjects per semester

    Re: doing 4 law subjects per semester Hi Moonlight, I have a similar question. Do you think doing the following subjects together in one semester is too heavy: crim 1; admin law; law, lawyers & society and property law 1? I heard property law was pretty heavy going so would it be...

    Starting law - How to get ahead

    If you really want to get ahead, I would read the intro books that Moonlight recommended provided you read them at the beach. As Frigid also mentioned, don't bother reading the texts before uni starts; you will not only forget everything but you will almost certainly find it difficult to...

    Com/Law at MQ -vs- Com & Grad Law at USyd/UNSW

    Hi Wagga In my former place of employment (I worked as a team leagal secretary) one lawyer graduated from MQ, another from Sydney and another from UNSW. You want my opinion - you should be very proud of yourself that you got into com/law at MQ so don't waste this great opportunity. I...

    Exam Results - Implications

    Hi Moonlight, I wish I kept an eye out for the summer school closing date but for some reason I had it in my head that summer school wasn't open to part-time first year grad students. I thought I had to wait until I completed the equivalent of one year full-time. Now I see I would have met the...

    The HSC is unfair because....

    Watatank your advice is very sound and spot on. I hope all those who have just finished there HSC or will be in year 12 next year listen. It maybe hard for those who will begin their HSC next year to hear this because right now they have people left, right and center putting pressure on them and...
