Allen & Overy to establish Australian office after recruiting 15 lawyers from Clayton Utz | The Australian And here I thought only investment bankers did these things.

Accepted.

We are very nice people :) A lot of us lawyers enjoyed our experiences in pro-bono work whilst at University or as secondments (including me). I personally know a lot of top tier lawyers that would prefer to take up public interest cases rather than a multi-million dollar litigations. You'll...

I work for Freehills. Come back in 5 years when you finish your law degree and actually learn something about the legal profesion. Until then, stfu.

1. You still get paid whilst working pro-bono, have you heard of community legal centres? Solicitors at these CLCs do get paid a significant salary, probably more $/hr than some of the mid-tier law firms. Don't equate profit and wages as being the same thing. Noob. 2. Yes, A LOT of people do...

Judges are chosen from the ranks of barristers (usually a SC or QC).

I find it bloody funny that some of the people here giving advice haven't even started uni, let alone know what's it like to pursue a career after university (with exception to Mel) As what Mel said, a law degree is quite difficult - the readings are huge and very difficult to comprehend, its...

I heard stories of people getting into law with around 94.xx, but 90.50 is too low for Macq U to accept you for law. Your best bet is choose UWS as your first preference and then transfer after your first year - all you need is a credit average (which is not that hard). You'll get academic...

There is a... poisoness atmosphere in the new law library. The law kiddies are pissed because they no longer have their own exclusive library (which once overlooked Hyde Park) and must share seats with non-law kiddies - Fischer is almost empty now as everyone prefers to hang out at the new law...

Whatever disadvantage from studying Std English or General Maths wouldn't really matter if you are willing to work hard for it. I had the same concern when I tried enrolling for BEc / LLB, the undergraduate dean said that it was merely preference, not requirement. But having said that, I would...

You should starting thinking about what career path you want to do. I did a B Econ / B Laws and I found my career paths to be quite narrow when compared to B Comm / B Laws. B Econ is a very very specialised degree and would pretty much seclude you to career as an economist if you don't become a...

All the best Lara, I heard you're tipped to get 1st class honours :O

I am just wondering about the ATI 4850, I had a look at Tomshardware site and it seems that a dual 1gb 9600 GT would perform better than a single 512 ATI 4850, I realise that a 1gb ATI 4850CF might really kick ass, but I just don't have the $$ for it. Does anyone think a 600W PSU is enough to...

I can't afford the new i7s :( - I am not a budget. Atm the predicted price is around $750. I was really thinking of getting a 1 gig ATI 4850 or a Nvidia 9800GTX but again... $$ considerations. But won't a 1 gig 9600GT SLI comes close in terms of performance?

Heya people, my computer mobo just died and I am look for an upgrade, my previous specs were: AMD 3700X2 All-in-one Mobo 1 gigabyte RAM 9600 GT 512m 250 gig HD 600W PSU Win XP The upgrade package i am thinking off is: Pentium E8400 ASUS P5KPL-1600 SLI Mobo 4 gigabyte (800) Kingston DDR2...
