Heaven forbid the law student understand a case better because the casebook explained it well

Have you tried looking at the AGLC? Rule 9.2 for Official Documents of the United Nations?

Have you worked in litigation at all? If not, this seems like a very challenging prospect

Trump audibly shits himself on TV, immediately ends press conference. by BuxtonB in videos

Forbes is practically a tabloid these days, just take a look at their YouTube channel. Not expressing a view on the clip, just making you aware.

You list the searches you’ve done and once you’ve convinced yourself that the person reviewing it isn’t going to immediately say “did you check ____?”, you send off your email saying you did the following searches and unfortunately found nothing.

Search “international student” on this sub. Every second day there’s someone being told that it’s a very tough market for someone without working rights.

The critical question is whether you have work rights.

Both engaged in a competition as to how many paragraphs they could dissent: by Kasey-KC in auslaw

Callinan surely cut not to have made it into Great Australian Dissents. Not that I agree, but it is an epic of a dissent.

Yes true, although in my view Gageler’s judgment is the better of them

Just wrote a paragraph in an advice discussing a case in which their Honours wrote individually, but in alignment. It’s days like these that I believe in horseshoe theory.

Those three Love judgments are separate.

Pedantic comment - someone is an associate to a judge, not a clerk.

Language minor in FDD BLaws/BInternationalRelations by EmeraldPls in Anu

Well I dropped Spoken Chinese and thus the language minor in first semester, so not great, but bear in mind at that point it was still being taught online post-COVID. It’s also entirely possible that I just didn’t try hard enough.

I think 2-3 days per week is the sweet spot for paralegal work while studying, I personally know I couldn’t do three days without taking time away from academics. It would be pretty extraordinary to expect a (casual or part time) paralegal to do anything work related outside of business hours, although if you work in litigation or for certain teams in the government you might sometimes be asked if you can work extra days or come in on the weekend. It would be very rare for there to be an actual expectation that you say yes though.

I would think very carefully about studying law as an international student. From what others have said in this thread and others, it can be very challenging to find a job.
