    Mens Rea 4 murder in Crim Law

    I always go through all of them, working my way down. If one appears particularly clear, for the third one i'll go "In the alternative, if the above was not made out, the prosecution may argue..." Best to be comprehensive. If its super obvious, then you don't need to spend much time on it...

    legal secretary - good experience?

    ARTICLED clerks; i.e people who are undertaking articles with the firm, not just a clerkship. It'd really fuck you over.

    Monash law transfer

    Haven't done it myself, I came straight in. I have had HEAPS of friends who have done it very successfully though. Weighted average is just the average score of your units, you'll need about 70-75, which if you are doing arts is shit easy! (speaking from experience). Hope that helps.

    Got into law and have a few questions

    Agree with the above, the key to each elective isn't really the content itself but the skills you learn in dealing with it.

    Just keen to get a bit of a debate going

    You could apply that analogy to foreigners moving to Australia where laws may be different, eg polygamy, its ok to beat children/wife, female circumcision, etc. In those instances, the law applies even if they don't know, and I think rightly so.

    Chance of 70%+ avg in first year

    That is a real concern. Law exams are really make or break.

    Need good intro law book

    I would argue that there is a higher percentage of dick-heardery in law school, because you have a % of people who think they are top shit for doing the degree in the first place (even if they suck at the degree itself), which really pisses me off.

    What law subject do you find most interesting?

    Crims great, I really enjoyed it. Tort and Contract sound ok as well, thats what I'm doing this year.

    "what are you studying?"

    Yeah, it sucks. I hate it when people judge other people on their degree, regardless of what it is. There are heaps of absolutely phenomenal and amazing people who do arts/education/science etc etc, and heaps of pompous arrogant idiots who suck at law.
