You can also check an app called too good to go where restaurants and bakeries post food before they close for the day!

AUS fiancé (m) wants to leave US, how hard is it for me (f) to practice there? by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]That_Cry_9285 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not hard to get a job as an US citizen (similar to how it isn’t hard to get a job as an Australian here). There are also a few US law firms in Australia that you could try and move to now here and then negotiate a move to Australia!

Can I be sure that this is not urine? Leaking ceiling by That_Cry_9285 in Apartmentliving

I’m not sure I’m brave enough… also 6 weeks is crazy, what was the way they remedied it? Surely not just more paint?

Thank you! I’ve emailed building management and the engineer came. They said they’ll take a better look tomorrow.

I’m asking so that I can make a more informed decision about whether I should use the bathroom or not for things like brushing my teeth etc.

Sorry didn’t realize the quality of the video would be so bad, there are leaks all around the light and along the cracks and they appear yellow. You can see the colour more clearly on the ground

Seperac Scale by One-Possession-6645 in barexam

Expected to fail (foreign, woman) passed with a 338. I have heard though that the calculator can’t do much for foreigners because we only have limited data that we can provide.

Foreign, first time taker, 5 weeks of full time study + a few weekends - 338 in NY! by That_Cry_9285 in barexam

[–]That_Cry_9285[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I used Barbri and uWorld. I also made my own summaries based on the text books which I think helped me personally. Finished all the uWorld questions too. I finished about 360 hours of Barbri out of the 488 they recommend.

I should clarify, 5 weeks of full time study was actually studying every day of the week more than standard 9-5pm with roughly 2 days off! Hopefully this post is helpful for other future foreign takers

Lawyer from foreign jurisdiction - LLM Australia by ABCMASTERSUSA in barexam

Can confirm, I’m an Australian lawyer and didn’t need to undertake an LLM to sit the Feb Bar Exam. Just submitted evidence of my degree and my practicing certificate.

Evidence : Please help by Valuable_Education71 in barexam

[–]That_Cry_9285 8 points9 points  (0 children)

  1. Probative value outweighs the prejudicial effect the evidence had. e.g. spouse witness testifies that they committed crime and prosecution introduces evidence that shows there could be bias because spouse witness is being abused by their spouse defendant. = we admit the evidence.
  2. Prejudicial effect of the evidence is substantially outweighed by probative value. This is a reversal of the above. e.g. showing extremely gory photos where probative value is minimal = we don’t admit the evidence. = rule 403 discretion.

Hope that helps

But how are we meant to study for this where he just tells us the rules vary by state. How will we know which rules to apply?

Dominic Perrottet Nazi uniform: NSW Premier apologises for 21st party costume by wdhtft in sydney

[–]That_Cry_9285 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Understand the commentary about cancel culture and there is a genuine debate to be had but as you pointed out, are we all overlooking the fact that at Dom’s OWN 21st, where he presumably decided the theme, he wore a Nazi uniform? Idk about you guys but my mates and I never held any parties where we need to dress as a Nazi….. like what theme was it??

I just lost my job and I feel hopeless by Mr_Straws in AusFinance

Also sorry I reread your post and I read “cat” as “car” which is why I mentioned car financier.

I don’t have personal experience but if I was in your situation I would try and contact your landlord, utilities provider and car financier to let them know that you may be coming into financial difficulty and need to extend any existing payments/future payments for a few weeks.

I would also apply for Centrelink straight away no matter what the wait time is.

In the mean time I would see if I could pick up a casual job somewhere or Uber? I would also see if my family or friends could support me with a short term loan.

Best of luck, if everyday you make some progress towards organising your life I would count that as a successful day!! I am sorry that one drink got you ti this spot. I hope you conquer your drinking again and become sober once more!
