    Suburban Law Firm Salary

    Well that's like saying I know real estate agents that own a yacht and live in mansions. I also know chefs who live in million dollar houses too and eventually go on to own a few restaurants. There're people who succeed in every industry. But if you're basing your career choice on a few select...

    Suburban Law Firm Salary

    Hmm... see the problem is that the rise is not that impressive. Yea sure you could be earning 3-4 times within 10 years, but you probably won't be. The rise is not that great. And you are talking about a suburban firm in particular yea? If you do end up getting 3-4 times within 10 years...

    Summer clerkships 2009/2010

    1. What is the general cut-off when it comes to marks? (Gilbert +Tobin HR were the only ones to actually give an answer - distinction to high credit average) Top tier - probably a high credit + 2. What is the weekly salary (before tax) at mid-tier & top tier-firms? (Clayton Utz HR said...

    [Serious] Law students, do you have a life?

    The problem about law is not uni - that's all fine. It's that the actual industry is very overrated and this sets high expectations for new lawyers, which leads to depression when they realise it isn't half of what it's made out to be. Everyone thinks lawyers rake it in and must be able to drive...

    Should I drop Law?

    Depends on what you want to do. If you don't want to be a lawyer, a law degree is not that useful. Exit options are very narrow.

    NSW police drag man from car, bash him

    Well there's always going to be examples either side. How about some hard ones like euthunasia or abortion? Even on speeding, why is 60kph the 'right' speed? Why shouldn't it be 50kph? Or 40kph? Why is $50 the right amount for a fine? Why not $60? These are the things we were taught to think...

    Aussies arrested for downloading child rape vid

    What happens if you thought she was 18 but she was actually 15? Do you get thrown to jail? Do you go to jail if you say you're going to watch it but don't actually do that????? This law is soooooo confusing. Do you think there's a chance they might modify it to just arresting anyone who...

    NSW police drag man from car, bash him

    Law is all man-made anyway. Doesn't mean it's right or wrong.

    Happiness

    According to a person who was once my best friend for over 10 years, happiness is all about being 'better than one's neighbour.' I think it was his way of trying to sound poetic since using the word one is how 'one' flaunts his English. He should probably have used 'thy' though. Anyway, I think...

    Deflation fears

    Agreed. Economies have grown on the back of enormous amounts of credit. It's fine until it busts. But look that's not the point. Even if we were spending savings is that necesarilly a good thing for individual well-being? To take an extreme argument, if it is, shouldn't everyone be...

    Swine Virus

    1. My dad would. But I wouldn't. Just as your doctor parents know what they're tlaking about, but you don't necesarilly. Obviously you didn't get what I was trying to say. Clear case of message lost in translation as a thick brain tried to process it. Perhaps that's why you never made it to...

    Deflation fears

    We'll be fine - if it deflates it probably makes things more affordable for people especially the people who were never able to afford anything and are therefore all cashed up. But probably won't happen as long as the Govt keeps paying out $900 to dead people and prisoners, as well as...

    Swine Virus

    Oh come on, let's not all gloat about our parents. My dad could be the Prime Minister. That doesn't mean I know anything more about how to govern silly people like you than anyone else out there. And yea... love the hypocrisy when internet people say 'talking to you is a waste of time' and...

    Swine Virus

    Find me the source that facemasks saturate the virus. Love it when people talk like they're some medical expert. And Jonathan, I don't really have much faith in media. The amount of articles where they mislead people is staggering... I'm sure everybody has had experience of that, especially...

    Swine Virus

    Numbers are rising so rapidly. The Government has done so little to try to contain the spread. Right from the outset, the Government should have quarantined anyone coming from Mexico/USA or who have been to Mexico and USA in the past 2 months. Obviously that's something the Govt would never...

    Q: "What kind of lawyer do you want to be?" A: "A rich one!"

    That's why he's a legal ethics lecturer and not a partner at Freehills. The first who went in this recession are: forex/commodites/equities/fixed income traders/sales people, private equity/hedge fund employees, m&a investment bankers the next to go turned out to be working class (think...
