So I logged into the University system today to check on my grades to finish these blasted training contract applications, and the following pops up on the front page:

This afternoon I finished the last exam of my law degree, which brings three* years study to a close (barring any marking/grading "surprises"). And while I'm relieved, part of me has a hard time really believing that not only am I done, but done for much linger than 3 months. The other part can't believe I've actually pulled it off - I mean it was ( Read more... )

at 6:00pm on 24 May, I will officially get my life back. Yes, folks, that's the day of my last law exam and when I will officially revive many many projects that have been cast by the wayside ( Read more... )

Hello long lost peoples! Just wanted to drop you all a quick line while I had the chance to let you know that, yes, I am alive, and yes life is still moving apace.

Still, I was going into the exams with great marks on my essays - 1sts (As) in Land and Criminal and a very high 2nd (B - only two points shy of a 1st/A) in Tort. Of all the exams I feel most unsure ( Read more... )

and life keeps ticking along at it's usual pace. The last two weeks I *finally* got to do the training for the volunteer role in the court that I've been working on for the past six months. It was in turns helpful, boring, and good practice. Helpful in that it did impart some really useful information; boring in that it went way too slow for my ( Read more... )

We lost our first Moot last night. It was a really good problem question - racy enough to hold an audience's attention with enough murky areas of law to make for some interesting legal arguments ( Read more... )

but there is one thing that I have learned from this moot problem (and criminal law in general). Making video tapes or allowing videos to be made of your exploits is A Bad Plan ( Read more... )
