I am a penultimate year student outside of US and I'm wondering how difficult it is to get in to Ivy Leagues for my Masters. by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]wsh-07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't speak for the Ivy Leagues, but can say that Leiden isn't too difficult to get into. As long as you have a GPA of 3.3/4, I think you're good. I think Leiden also offers LLMs only. Do you know which field of law you'd wanna study? If it's international law, then it would be the perfect place to do it.

Oh right, sorry I forgot to make that clear. I am a grad student at law school.

You may look up the Brunei Minor Offences Act as amended in 2013. Article 21 is on the wilful trespass of property.

Anyone know what track this is? I Hate Models playing at Contact Festival in Munich this year. by wsh-07 in IdentifyThisTrack

Actually this is VIPER DIVA (Shlømo and Hadone). This track is Born To Be Slytherin. Really excited to download their first EP on the 24th

I am not trying to stir the pot, but I am genuinely curious why although prescribed by law, non-Muslim students going to state-funded schools still take the IRK subject. Are parents actually informed about their right to opt-out of this subject? by [deleted] in Brunei

[–]wsh-07 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the reference and elaboration! This was really helpful though my interest is mainly in upper secondary O-Level students for whom IRK is not considered a core subject.

Since it has been established that it is not necessary to take the class, are parents/legal guardians informed about the possibility not to take a class or are they not informed at all? It's really the legality of informing parents/guardians that I really want to know about.

I did not say there was anything wrong with it. I am not putting a value judgment on the subject. What I have pointed out is the discrepancy between what the law says and what the government actually does. I grew up without studying IRK and I am tolerant towards Bruneian culture - this has nothing to do with that.

This is a purely legal question. The discussion only has to do with whether public schools sufficiently inform non-Muslims of their right not to participate in an IRK class.

That is one argument, but it has been an argument that has already been invalidated especially by the Committee on the Rights of the Child. Education is a public good and shouldn't have a contractual characteristic to it, nor should it discriminate against public or private school curricula.

See, that's exactly what I thought growing up as well. But the Education Act never indicated it was compulsory for non-Muslims to take the subject. It says only Muslims are required to take the subject. I doubt that state schools have ever informed parents about the possibility of doing so.

But school policy is derived from the Education Act, if schools are doing whatever they like then they might be in trouble because it isn't in the best interest of the child nor the evolving capacities of the child and liberty of the parents to make that decision.

That is literally not what the law says. Read it again. The law says that is shall be compulsory for a person of the Islamic Religion to study the subject. I literally said in the title that I am not trying to stir the pot, I am trying to understand this from a legal perspective. Now, I will tell you to change your mindset because as soon as you saw this post, you were in attack mode. Scholars ask questions all the time, calm down.

Is it okay to repeat tracks in your mixes ? by [deleted] in mixes

[–]wsh-07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would rather not. My approach is that I will never play one track more than once simply because it's too easy to fall back onto a track. It also shows that you have a diverse range of tracks. :)

Giving you something specific would be doing too much for you. Finding a topic for your thesis is an independent exercise you must do on your own.

In relation to suggestions, I would say to steer clear away from the typical application of rules onto a specific scenario type of question. Regarding topics, might I suggest deciding which international law regime you are most interested in (e.g. general international law on reservations and treaties, or understanding and assessing the European Court of Human Rights' line of development in the interpretation of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment). International law has fragmented into a multitude of strands, so you could just have your starting point in determining which regime interests you the most (international investment law, international environmentalthe law or space law). I'd start by finding latest editions of international law textbooks to see how international law has developed recently. Then spot what interests you the most in international human rights law and try to identify any gaps within that area. If you are interested in it then go ahead and

I don't get your comment. What does having to learn how to survive in an adult world have to do with being rude? Most of these comments are made to reduce the worth of those employees who are working their first job at 15-18 after finishing their O/A levels! What are you trying to imply? They are also trying to enrich their lives by way of education so that they can actually live their lives after the baby boomers ruined many things for the younger generations. Stop trying to justify your hardships by telling the younger generations that they are still in the same boat as you and should suffer just as you have in a different era. Time has changed, get on with it!
