    Butterworths Series

    I think my readers were like $25 for intro and $12.50 for torts or something (and most of the photocopying has been done so badly and all squished onto the page...) but its better than buying extra books lol... (Is it sad I took that photo the day my lawbooks came in the mail? :( )

    Gay marriage in NSW/Australia

    Re: should gays be allowed to marry in NSW As the current law stands they can adopt as a single person but cannot adopt as a couple. I'm for it but I doubt it will be legalised under the current government being firm upholders of the union of a man and a woman, voluntary entered into for...

    Is it too late to change tut classes?

    Don't leave it too late or they will be pissed off, talk to them, talk to the lecturer to make sure that if you do change that the group can be sorted out etc.

    Becoming a crown prosecutor?

    Your ambitions are similar to mine :uhhuh: I'm hoping to start in the DPP straight away. The money isn't too bad considering they are offering PLT placements paying $47 000 pa too bad I'm only in first year, I could use a job.

    Advanced English - Othello

    I studied it in Year 11 for the Critical study, its pretty much like any other shakespearean play, once you get your head around the language you will be fine. If you are still confused, watching the movie can help you understand it better (but don't quote the movie as often things are changed...
