Has never failed.

but Mr Billy (!), passes may make el-el-bee's, but top tiers expect credits without exception!!

i concur with my learned sister erawamai has said. i might add, however, that it often takes great effort for the crammer to know more than the bare case X - principle Y. *sigh*

Never got worse than a 5 (credit) using this technique I consider a 4 (pass) a fail.

And I'm not a top-tier boy (!) anyway. I'll leave their hoop-jumping to you guys who reeeeaaaally wanna be working 18 hour days making some partner rich

on the bright side, cramming aint all that bad. at least, in my opinion, cramming develops your high-intensity, large-quantity, maximum-efficiency studying skills.

thus, for your illustrious career at the Bar, where they give you your brief two days before you are due to appear, you should be thankful that your well-honed cramming/rote-learning skills can make you a world authority on battered women syndrome in 48 hours.

Cramming's actually pretty good sometimes... especially if I do my notes at the last minute. I get an opportunity to really go over the course.

If I rely on notes made throughout the year, I find that it's harder to pick up on minute details, and that I tend to rely too much on the notes.

Yes! My Law, Lawyers and Justice notes - I got duty to the court all done. Very productive

On a side note are usyd examining you on the old or new Legal profession Act?

 

[ManlyChief]

The course primarily deals with the professional rules, but when the LPA is needed, we look at the old one - two reasons:

* the textbook hasn't been updated for the 2004 act and
* the 1980s has that special pazazz that the 2000s simply cannot match

Where used in our course, I don't think there was any substantial difference between the nature of the provisions of the 1987 and 2004 acts

Erge. We only look at part 10 and 11 of the now out of date LPA. Talk about naming courses however.

From the LLB311 (Lawyers and Australian Society) Handbook Santa....

In LLB311 Lawyers and Australian Society, students will undertake two components, as follows:

-The Law in Practice--a professional experience placement of 20 days' duration in an aspect of law-related practice.

-Law in the Community--completion of 30 hours voluntary (pro bono) service with a community legal service or public interest service (not being one in which they completed their 'Law in Practice Component)

These two components of the subject are perceived, in terms of their practical approach to learning and in the level of assessment, as a major part of the whole subject. Final results will be withheld until both components have been satisfactorily completed, and the assessment requirements have bee submitted and passed
