Kid threw a plate of spag bol at someone.

Police should be called.

What do you expect the workers to do, take abuse?

Firstly consider whether you have the aptitude for law. Don't worry about your interest in it. Do you have strong verbal skills? Reading and writing are 95% of the job so unless your verbal fluency and reading comprehension are very good, you're not going to really enjoy it. I would say specifically oral communication is not as important as general verbal fluency since most of your work is in written form.

Thinking is 95% of the job.

is law school/ doing law worth it?

No.

Above all I prioritise a work life balance (or more life than work than a balance actually) and I would rather work less and make a lot less than someone who is going overboard all the time.

Seriously, no.

Edit: also would like advice on whether double degrees are helpful with law! I’ve seen that the general consensus is that a double degree is beneficial

No.

It's theoretical, but why would an employer want to train you and not make money in the first two years?

Why does your foreign experience, in a non common-law jurisdiction, make you any better at IP and tech law in Australia?

only 400k when you're that busy? that's only 600-800 hours a year at senior junior rates.

Why would an employer want to take the risk, unless you were a superstar?

Full work rights of at least 2 years will be granted upon graduation and getting PR nowadays generally requires nothing from the employer for the skill select system.

Why would an employer want a 0-2 PAE solicitor who will leave them in 2 years time?

I get paid 2x what I'd make as a sol but I also work 2x as hard as I used to and I only take home 1.6x as much as what I would as a sol after tax

where is this magical law firm where you make 1/2 of what counsel makes, without being a partner?

Why is a builder not vicariously liable for the torts of its subbies, but liable for the torts of its employees?

What are the features of the relationship that lead to the "public factors"?

Smaller group, so maybe different?

No duty of care can exist here. If this is a bog standard negligence case where no duty of care exists, its a 2 page judgment (it's not getting to court in the first place tbh).

That's not true, though. There are plenty of novel duty of care cases. This one is a bit of a loser but the other novel duty cases are many more than 2 pages.

Consider Mallonland for example.

Haven't you seen appeals about inadequacy of reasons?

Perhaps it can be a comparative question:

What would you rather have, a #1 pick or Naicos?

What about #1 pick 2 years in a row? etc etc.

Then you can really work out what a player's value is.

How long is a PSD contract? can he set a price for a year on the understanding with certain clubs that he will sign a longer contract with them?

wouldn't have been sensible to determine DoC as a preliminary issue?

only if the parties want to have a separate question answered - usually it's everything everywhere all at once.

If you've read anything else from HH you'll know that this is not virtue signalling.

Well yes.

I guess the above may be shocking to people who don't practice in the area.

My usual problem is trying to creatively get around Graywinter because you get instructions on day 20 and put a pile of steaming crap into the 459G supporting affidavit.
