As much as I'd like to say yes, I plan on finding me a single attractive intelligent female first year law student...PwarYuex said:All I need now is a law buddy.
Actually, the LAW1xx lectures I walked in on had a tonne of cute people.Smokin'Squirrel said:As much as I'd like to say yes, I plan on finding me a single attractive intelligent female first year law student...
They're not a myth are they??? I don't think I'm asking for that much
I completely agree which is why I plan to get D's or higher... although it is more pressure that may not be necessary.PwarYuex said:
I've read the handbook many times *lol... tedious read*. Don't believe everything the handbook tells you... I spoke to Maggie and she reassures me that If I want to I can take up 2nd yr law units as co-requisites, if I get in through UAC. It is allowable with permission from the Dean of Law. Hence, if I can get away with it, then I am already into my 3rd yr law subjects and electives next year.PwarYuex said:
oh dear. I don't know how many times I've said that to people... Maybe I should listen to what I say. You learn something new every day, though, although I did assume that law would have been more set in concrete.Smokin'Squirrel said:
Great call. As Pwar said, admittance into the quota is as good as transferring into combined law. Getting at least a P with a take home final isn't exactly pressure Smokin'...this is Jurisprudence after all.PwarYuex said:
I've done BUSL250 (which is the easy version of law for accounting students) which covers contracts, torts, property and Trade Practices Law. I realise that it isn't the same as doing the law2XX subjects but it gives me a leg up in knowing most of the basics already.PwarYuex said:

Juris at MQ is vastly different from other unis. Juris here is more an introduction to the law...you'll learn how to study law, proper legal reading/referencing. I'm not saying you won't be fine in LAW2xx, but you'll be at a disadvantage at the start compared to other students.Smokin'Squirrel said:Also, the law1xx subjects are just philosophical subjects to start off with, introducing ideas of how the law has derived, its purpose, etc. You'll find that most other uni's have juris as a 3rd yr subject so I don't think that I'll be that disadvantaged. If I can learn it consecutively, I can learn it similtaneously *I like that... just came up with it
I didn't know that the first yr law subjects were take home tests... just makes it that more difficult to set yourself apart from the rest, considering the majority of participants have a 95+ UAI. A Pass is easy... D's are a little more tricky.
I was worried that I sounded like a dick: 'if you can't get good marks, uni isn't for you' sort of thing... But that's not what I meant.GoodToGo said:
It's my observation that the first-year law units are a practical and theoretical basis for taking other LAW units. Whilst there is a lot of philosophical stuff in the first-year units, I've noticed that they both also act as 'introduction to university law', if that makes sense. Going over the basics of how to deal with law essays, how to look up cases, how to reference, is a surprisingly big part of academia.squirrel said:
Sure am, mate. I seriously had to flip a coin to decide, but I am giving it a go.tabris said:
BUSL is a joke but it provides a reasonable foundation if I am going to enter 2nd yr law subjects. If it were equivalent to the LAw2xx subjects, then I would get a waiver. As it isn't, I would argue that I am already familiar with many of the concepts that will underpin the law2xx subjects.GoodToGo said:
don't forget to go through UAC as well...minalata said:
er, well I had to apply for some random reason, but my GPA and UAI would have implied that.minalata said:
