    legal secretary - good experience?

    Is a legal secretary job for a barrister worth pursuing? The only requirement they stated was that I be good at typing. I think they specified that they wanted a law student, however. I don't want to leave my current job in order to do something that won't be a good learning experience. It's 2-3...

    do you wear sunscreen every day?

    How many of you wear sunscreen all the time (and not just on days where you're outside all day or going to the beach)? How long have you been doing this, why did you start and how is it going for you? Can someone recommend a face sunscreen that is for sensitive skin and is NOT waterproof...

    Laser Eye Surgery

    Anyone done it? Considering how low-risk it is these days, why aren't more people doing it? Sure, it's expensive, but it's cheaper in the long run I have an appointment to determine my suitability soon and I'm hoping I am able to get it done.

    How much did it cost you? I've never worn sunglasses before so I'm not sure if I'll actually wear them regularly, and it'll cost $250 to get prescription lenses put in. How often do you wear them?

    clerkship questions

    Should I go nuts and apply to 25- 30 firms? Assuming I put in the time to write well-written and targeted cover letters, and do decent answers to any questions, is it too much to put in so many seasonal clerkship applications? I am really interested in only about 7 particular firms, and the...

    what does a person put into an unsolicited cover letter?

    I'm emailing some firms in my area, and most of them are pretty small. What is the best way to say: I'm looking for work that would suit someone with very little experience like me. And should I pretend to have an interest in their firm in particular? I know that's what's expected for...

    what exactly is the subject equity about?

    I get the whole idea of the difference between common law and equity, but I don't understand how they can make a whole unit out of it. What kind of topics are studied? Equitable remedies in detail, I'd guess. But what else? Do law firms consider this to be an important subject?

    part-time law job application

    I just applied for a legal assistant-type job at a law firm, and i put in my cover letter that my average is a distinction -- would they assume that this is an average for just my law subjects? Because my overall Arts/Law average is a high distinction. Would it be misleading, to put on my resume...

    Scholarships for Current Students

    Has anyone ever gotten a uni scholarship (either ones that pay fees or ones that give you cash/book vouchers)? I was wondering how difficult it is to get scholarships based on merit or equity as a current student. How poor do you have to be? How good do your grades have to be?

    Anyone had any experience with Pentax cameras or this one in particular? http://www.pentax.com.au/pentax/index.cfm?pageID=2&modelID=46& It costs around $250, which seems a bit cheap for a 10MP camera.
