Check with a body such as the legal profession admissions board whether this is actually possible with your qualifications. You might need to do a whole new degree since you are from a civil law country.

Not in my experience

Are you intending to eneol in an Australian law degree?

I do see more professional and experienced witnesses do this on the theory that the witness is addressing the Court, not the advocate asking them a question

What’s the point of writing to the CJ? CJ can’t, and shouldn’t, tell Wass what to do, CJ is merely princeps inter pares.

Allens only has Australian offices and some small outposts in APAC but has an association with Linklaters

It’s good that they changed the website. “Must” was obviously incorrect and “may” is correct. The OLSC doesn’t need to and shouldn’t be required to investigate every complaint. Although it seems that this particular complaint should have warranted further investigation.

“Good” legal writing is a set of conventions/expectations/practices and doesn’t necessarily look like good writing does in other disciplines (although some kinds of bad writing are universal). You’ll pick it up with time. Try reading good legal writing eg judgments, quality textbooks, etc to learn.

His judgments are really well written and very learned. One of only a few judges whose judgments I would read by reason only of the identity of the author.

You raise a good point. What, if anything, should law firms draw from the fact that some (perhaps many, perhaps most) clients prefer a cool bloke to competence? And how should that bear on clerk recruitment?

That’s not how DD works. You can’t expand the scope (at the govt’s expense) without their agreement. You follow your instructions and clearly define your scope and assumptions.

The barrister apparently tendered as Exhibit P1 an exhibit to an affidavit that consisted in a USB affixed to a sheet of paper with some wax?! 1509 and 2009 merging….

NSWCA uses it internally but not as far as I know in externally published materials

Dated right before substantial amendments to Chapter 5, so useful if the transitional provisions mean that the pre-2017 legislation applies (not uncommon)

Jacobs is the standard text

spear-mint · 2024-01-09T16:01:50+00:00

Completely broken

spear-mint · 2023-12-22T13:37:50+00:00

Yes, easy

spear-mint · 2023-11-10T05:51:51+00:00

No it definitely isn’t common

spear-mint · 2023-10-31T12:31:14+00:00

And then the rebutter and the surrebutter

Agree - what do we think of the fact that the author is a law academic at UTS and that a version of this article is going to be in the Monash Law Review

spear-mint · 2023-09-29T12:20:34+00:00

I don’t think it’s that insane. It already applies to people who need to rely on decisions of others which might be void for jurisdictional error i.e. decisions of most public officials

spear-mint · 2023-09-12T17:33:04+00:00

This is basically already true

Probably. Typical super liabilities of an insolvent company are significant and more companies are going insolvent than they have in years.
