Does anyone know if anyone at you uni has ever got straight HDs for their entire degree? I was speaking to my moot coach last year and he said noone had at our uni but a couple of people had gone close and then dropped 1 subject to a D. How torn would you be to get to fourth year and then...

rogerm: You'll be fine. If the victim of something as minor as a swolen eye withdraws a complaint and isn't following through, the cops aren't going to spend their resources on the issue.

No no... I have no problem with giving honours relative to a WAM, in fact I think it's the best way. As a student you know what you need to maintain. I'm just saying that the point of honours is to acknowledge outstanding students. If that list is anywhere near an accurate reflection of the...

But they'd still know roughly what to expect... just seems funny to be giving "honours" to the majority of people. The breakdown is something like 90/70/55... How do first class honours mean anything if 40% of the graduands get them?

Why do ~2/3 of the graduands get honours? Seems very high.

Practicing in a different state to where you did your degree is not a problem at all. Don’t worry about that. All states have mutual recognition. Transferring in the middle of your course also wouldn’t be a huge problem but you may have to do extra 1 or 2 subjects as sometimes the courses...

The concept of super-setting is to do 2 different sets of muscles and not rest at all. E.g. do pec flys then rear delt flys then pec flys ect ect. Resting is cheating boys. The trick is to do everything. But, if you must isolate inner chest, just pump up the weight on the pec deck and...

Seriously, enjoy your retail jobs as long as you can. The pay is often better. You can work weekends which give you penalty rates. You can turn up hungover. You don't have to think about the work. If you get sick of it you can ditch it and find a new one. Everyone here in 1st - 3rd year...

Straight law is the way to go. I'm damn glad I didn't spend and extra year as well as overloading to do some other degree I'm never going to use.

I think Frigid's figures are from Lawyer's Weekly or somewhere similar and would be for Sydney. Feel for us up in Qld who can expect 5 -10k less for the same experience. But living here does have its upsides. Actually, if i remember correctly, there were wage tables for UK, US and Asia in...

Frigid... will it shock you even more that when it says "graduate" it actually means "newly-admitted solicitor"? so add whatever time it takes you to do articles/plt before you even get on that scale. skeptical: You work and work and work until you die. But seriously, yes, if you're...

People, people, people... The horse was dead about 4 pages ago...

Man... this thread needs to die... soon...

Post admission experience. Lets be generous and say you were a REALLY lucky 1st year solicitor in a top-tier and were getting $52000 +super. That's $1000/wk. You'd be working a minimum of 50 hours which is $20/hour gross. Take out tax and you'll looking at something like 15/hour net...

Man if I had to study for 7 years to get my law degree I'd be pissed/depressed also.

HAHAHA... 0 POA solicitors in top-tiers will get nowhere near 20/hour net. This is all silly talk. Which uni you go to really makes no difference if you're motivated and reasonably intelligent about how you go about seeking out your career. I was contemplating writing up a new thread on...

To be honest, I've never been a BoR type person... But having recently been knee-deep examining the Ch III constitutional cases I honestly have my doubts as to whether Ch III is sufficient. Take Al-Kateb for example. He lost in the HC 4:3, but was ultimately granted a VISA under...

HAHAHA... yeah... right...

Don't they speak Cantonese in HK rather than Mandarin? Or is Mand. the official legal language? I guess I should know this considering my GF + fam ect speak Cantonese and she is currently in China learning/improving her Madarin. PS. Being anglo and trying to fit in with an Asian GF's...

Because they'd be harder to detect?
