Didn't find MGMT1001 hard.. at all.. Really don't understand the hate it keeps getting. My guess is that UNSW has a lot of international and non-Australian background students, most of which are more inclined to Maths. Considering it's a 'wordy' course, if you did HSIE subjects in your HSC it's...

I thought you HAD to pick the four core subjects in your first year?

I'm in your exact same position. A very good point to make is that UNSW has a guaranteed minimum of 100 spots for UNSW students ONLY who are internally transferring to law while USYD doesn't. Also speaking on the phone with UNSW, they said they only take a handful of students from other unis, so...

Wrong thread btw but anyway, I was in your exact same position where I was averaging in advanced but could still do ESL. I decided to do ESL and trust me, it was the best decision I ever took! I know to you now you feel like there's no reason why you shouldn't challenge yourself but by the time...

What strategies did everyone talk about in the operations question and how many pages did you use?

The only thing that made me choose that the judge must accept the plea bargaining is the case of R v Alchin (2008). Here's a bit of it from my notes: R v Alchin (2008) highlighted how charge negotiation may create an imbalance between the rights of the victim and the accused after the accused...

It's definitely not good character because it's a mandatory sentence regardless of whether they were of good character or not (that's the whole purpose of a mandatory sentence). You're right about the option of actus reus and men's rea being wrong which leaves lobby parliament to repeal the law...

Is that true though? What about the answer that said the trial must be heard before a jury? It's manslaughter, a serious indictable offence that must be heard before a jury so how could that choice be wrong? On the other hand, self-defence is a complete defence for MURDER. Yes that consequently...

Did anyone else get 5 B's after each other somewhere along the middle? I was freaking out but I went over them and they all looked like they were right

What did everyone get for the SA question on the rate of economic growth that gave you this table and the CPI for year 1 and year 2?

Found the MCQ and short answers easy as well. Yes, very different to previous years but still doable. Only question that was retarded was the international division of labour one. Anyone knows what the answer to that was? In saying that, I ran out of time for the extended responses :( included...

Great guide! Third part soon? :(

Oh, that makes a lot of sense. Thank you all so much for your help, not just for me, but for everyone else considering studying law one day. I'm definitely going to consider law as well as other options based on your amazing responses that will sure come in handy in making the final decision...

So I'm kicking myself in the head right now because I was writing this extreeemely long reply but I accidentally pressed back aaaaand it's gone.. So I'm gonna keep this short and simple. Sorry for the short reply, I actually dedicated a large part of it just thanking you for all your awesome...

Hi, I'm a current year 12 student (graduating in 2015) and I wanted to ask what life is like for current uni law students? I have been thinking about getting into law for quite some time now, and the HSC legal studies subject has been an absolute favourite since last year, however reading some...
