Can be a bit of a "how long is a piece of string" question. The letter likely informed you who were the Executors, if you're concerned it would be best to get in touch with them

Ditto

FWIW you can't hang out your shingle until you have an unrestricted practising certificate (and your ability to obtain that will differ pending your jurisdiction, AFAIK all jurisdictions require a period of supervised practice). We have a bloke who came to law mature age (big firm for SA). He's...

I got a bazillion.05

It seems he's after the transcript not the judgment though? Or it 'transcript' different in Victoria?

Let's assume it's not a High Court case. Call the relevant Court's registry

The answer is always Listing Rule 3.1 regardless of the question

I found the complete opposite.

Scam that appeals to people's intellectual vanity. Your transcript sufficiently states your results. The idea of an 'exclusive society' is just offered to try and increase people's self-importance. Just think, if they really wanted you, would they offer it to nearly everyone/make you pay to...

In 5 years I voted once, and that was for some mates in the Liberal Club whose platform was abolishing the student union/associated institutions. A noble aim.

When the revolution comes student politicians will be first up against the wall

Add in Gummow's recent tangent that obiter from the High Court isn't really obiter and it gets very complicated (I would not even consider discussing this in a first year law exam)

See I've practised primarily in public law so the constitutional and admin stuff is used rather frequently. Hand me a criminal information and I would panic, consult textbooks, refer to anyone, anyone else who would undoubtedly be more qualified. Still need to know the basics though to be...

You do need the background knowledge though. Without understanding how the whole thing works you'd be a worthless practitioner.

I did it 6 years ago champ ;) I did say I was giving the bare bones of contract law. Not really sure if you expected me to recount an entire Law subject on BF

The beauty of contract is that it's not rocket science, you can almost appreciate it like a checklist (i've almost certainly forgotten things): 1. Intention to create legal relations (presumed in commercial context) 2. Offer? 3. Acceptance? 4. Consideration? Once you have those you've...

Anecdotally I'd suggest your experience is unique. But each to their own.

Hate to break it to you, but Contracts is generally one of the easier subjects you'll do. But give it time, it should come together for you.

I don't think Caesar was necessarily saying that results are an indicator of performance as much as that they're an indicator of success in getting the job. I didn't interpret Caesar's post as an endorsement of the situation but rather an explanation of the status quo. This is probably a...

I was referring to your quotation of Caesar. You accuse him of showing a disconnect with the real world for stating that Grades are essential to getting an interview and illustrate your point with examples of average grades translating to difficulty in finding employment. It feels that...

The other point is that in such a competitive environment there's a fine line between the "best person for the job" and a "very good person for the job". In light of this, and considering the amount of professional development that occurs in the job as opposed to in tertiary education it's...

Non sequitur much?

Also, checkraiseulite you seem to be falling into from what I've observed is a standard law student trap. Despite what has happened so far in your life, life is not a meritocracy. Lawyering is about far more than your academic record. Honestly interpersonal skills are just as important as...

Oh god this. Ultimate show of idiocy combined with vanity

Maintaining a practising certificate while not practising is a bitch though. Like it's worth doing the requirements to get admitted, but actually going through with the ceremony when you don't intend to start practising is a tad silly.

A s**t load of people double up with Commerce and end up doing purely Accounting/Financial type work. Apart from that there's a lot who go straight into government/public policy work.

How does taking one of each remedy existing gender inequality? :confused:

I think you're right. A law degree is really only good for the practise of law. However, that hasn't stopped it becoming highly sought after by non-legal employers. It's a chicken and an egg thing but amongst my contemporaries there were many who never considered practising law instead...

I can promise you, unless things have drastically changed at Adelaide, the information is all out there to anyone who has their eyes open.

How far are you into your degree? If first, or even second year, just go with the flow and enjoy it. If something comes up by all means have a go, but don't stress too much. Should nothing have come along in 3rd year look into applying to the uniform clerkship scheme (I assume Queensland has...
