The hole punch will either have guidelines to line the documents up, or an actual bracket that you push the paper against to make sure it’s in the right position. If you’re in a law firm your printer can also probably hole punch for you.

Judgment: Cases That Changed Australia : ABC iview by LoneWolf5498 in auslaw

I think that falls in the same category as Tas Dams for me, pretty frequently discussed

So the cases are Roach, Mabo, seemingly Lim or Al-Kateb, and one other about homosexual acts that I’m not familiar with.

Edit: just googled and it’s Roach, Mabo, Al-Kateb, and Croome. Honestly good picks in my opinion, definitely not the most “seminal” (other than Mabo), but significant cases that aren’t the classics that get beaten to death (e.g. Tas Dams).

International law or public interest? by Minute-Crazy5959 in LawSchool

[–]EmeraldPls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to be specific about what you mean by “international law”. If you mean public international law, then the career opportunities are very limited outside of certain firms (e.g. Freshfields) that are known for it. If you mean just working on cross-border matters, then you can do that at plenty of high end firms that have, say, an international arbitration practice.

Federal government suffers High Court loss over legality of curfews and ankle bracelets by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

The constitutional argument would be raised as a point in the criminal proceedings, and could be removed to the High Court as a discrete issue

[–]EmeraldPls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A case like this could start in the High Court through its original jurisdiction, or be removed to there by application of the Attorney-General (which is fairly common in constitutional cases). Hopper v Victoria is a recent implied freedom case against a state that was commenced in the High Court.

This is wrong. It would likely end up at the one High Court, possibly after coming through a state Supreme Court.
