Woops, this is VCE not HSC

Re: Legal HELP I see Well I'm moving this thread there. The type of help needed is not specific to law

Some things for you to consider: What is the role of a judge? Do judges make law or simply interpret/follow law? If judges engage in judicial activism, do not follow the law and ignore precedent or statute, what are the judges using to guide them? If judges are using their own values, are...

How about you put some of your views first and then we'll give you feedback on them.

Re: Legal HELP Have you actually attended any of your classes? Have you done any readings? I fail to see how you could have no ideas, or not be able to understand the question? If you are having trouble even grasping that question you should really be approaching your teacher for help.

Well the test for remoteness involves foreseeability of the type of harm suffered, considered in light of the nature of the risk. To say that the council could have foreseen that damage falling within the category of sexual assault would occur as a result of the risk of slipping is highly...

The critical (and possibly contentious) passages are highlighted below.

The decision: Yu-Mei Chu v State Rail Authority of New South Wales [2007] NSWDC 41

If there is insufficient attention being paid to a problem, the first logical step is to make those who contribute to or who are affected by it aware of the issue. I don't see the grounding for your objection to their activities. Forming a collective of people who share the same concerns is a...

In response to some of these "you should have known better" comments, I think that simply because the situation is bad does not mean people should refrain from pushing for change. Yes, an aspiring solicitor might expect to have long hours. It might also be expected that "work/life balance" will...

Keep the comments civil please. On the topic, yes some universities are generally more prestigious than others. A university perceived to have a higher quality of education (whether this is true or not) is an advantage in and of itself. But that is not the end of the story by any means. The...

No, a law firm employer will not always prefer a combined Com/Law student. There are many factors to consider, including one's marks. That said, it would generally be quite attractive to the law firm to have a person with a commercial background. So it is a bonus to your credentials.

Those books were (and are) our prescribed Contract Law texts. For learning purposes they do the job well, but:

All our law classes are 2-hour tutorials (we don't have 'lectures') -- if USyd's is the same system then it would be understandable.

I think our core courses are still reasonable in size? Usually 30-35 per class, no more than 40. It's understandable that our elective subjects are held with more people and in the Harvard lecture theatres -- there are not enough students in many electives to justify two streams of classes. I...

Haha good point.

I really hate that show :mad: However it's good to see someone thinking about the law in such a way. As you said, they would very likely have signed away their rights. So they probably could not sue Channel 10. Assuming that they didn't, then there would have to be some detriment shown as a...

He'd probably die of cardiac arrest if he ever taught at UNSW.

The mere right to film at a location in a building for a period of time would constitute a license, not a lease. However, if as you say exclusive possession was granted, then it would be a lease. You should be aware, however, that not all leases need to be in writing - see s 23D(2) Conveyancing...

Yes, you should definitely use headings. No, I would not recommend doing that. It may be of benefit for you to look up a real case note in a law journal to see the structure used. Really, lawyers don't even bother referring to 'ratio' and 'obiter' so explicitly. We sort of take these categories...
