We don't get any sort of reading week. :frown: Wish we did.
Hi, just made an account, so here is my introduction. I’m studying at Uhasselt (I know it doesn’t sound so fancy as your universities :smile: ) It’s a new law university in Belgium (a cooperation between Leuven and Maastricht). I’m in my second years.
Barrister-

At the moment I applied to the LPC, which is for solicitors.

BUT I want to become a barrister. Obviously I would need to undertake mini-pupillages etc...

Not sure if this is true, but can a solicitor with 10 or 15 years experience apply to become a barrister without a BPTC or do they require BPTC?

HALP.


Can anyone name some books that I can read that are out of ordinary for someone applying for University?

The ordinary being, "Letters to a Law Student".

Thanks
I'd like to read something on morality, if that's any help.

Thanks again.

Have a look at Just Law by Helena Kennedy or Lawless World by Phillipe Sands QC.

Not so much morality based, but about the role of the law and politicians interference with it etc. Take a look, see what you think.




Thanks for your help.

However, are there any books you'd recommend that I can freely view on google.com/books

Do all law students hate jurisprudence!?


YES! I dropped German law because I was fed up of not knowing if I understood anything and always feeling like I didn't...and just got the same problem in Jurisprudence, only now I feel I have no excuse cause at least it's *mainly* in my language!

If it's any consolation, I have a consti essay due tomorrow at 3pm. I also haven't started writing it. I have, however, done the reading and planned it.

That doesn't sound too bad, although if that was me, I probably wouldn't have done the reading or planning.

Speaking of which, land seminar at 9am. I really should go to bed.
Done all the notes in a neat format for the first half of the courses. In a good mood. For now. :jive:

Wtf? Was it only a couple of days ago that you posted about getting started on the notes? How have you done the notes for all your modules (I presume) in 2 days or did I make up the abovein a sleep induced state?

Yep (for the first half of all the modues), started on Constitutional, then figured I may as well do Jurisprudence and Delict. Been working like a hamster amidst browsing TSR and watching films. :emo:

FML.

I have zero motivation. I can work for about half an hour or so before giving up or getting distracted. :sad:

This term's been an absolute bear, and week five was killer. I love the law, but even I have my limits! And revising for/doing exams is going to suck. A lot.

1400 words in. Should be fine. How was the land seminar?

Slightly confusing. I think my main issue is not understanding the topic in enough detail before the seminar. I now understand co-ownership and the seminar makes sense but I need to do more work on leases. I'm half way through international law lecture and I haven't fallen asleep yet. Yay for 5 hours sleep.

And then 2 hour land lecture.

I quite like co-ownership/trusts, but then I'm nuts for land law. Not done leases yet...we started them yesterday but I missed the lecture.

Mmmm, five hours sleep...
