FEDERICA IMMANUEL
Volume 10, Issue 1 The article below is the first in a new fortnightly series created at the initiative of Federica Immanuel, the MULSS International Students Representative. International students doing the JD are invited to write on their experiences growing up in their hometowns, what they love about them, fun facts about their culture, or anything else.

Volume 10, Issue 1 This is my story, the lessons I've learnt through coping with ‘failure’, and measuring (and re-measuring) my success. I hope some of it will be helpful for others. When I started LMR I was invincible, proud of my accomplishments and fairly arrogant about the fact that I was fluent in three languages and had tons of international experience. I thought no doubt I would breeze through the JD and continue along my well-travelled path of ‘success’. Then life happened, and stresses I had previously been able to handle, like moving home, relationship break ups and family issues, all become overwhelming. I simply could not manage the rigorous schedule of the JD and life's problems. MORGAN KOEGEL
Volume 10, Issue 1 I leaned forward and rested my forehead on the cold glass, staring down at a muggy Collins street below me. Business-attired ants poured onto the sidewalk in a steady stream of grey and black. I let out the sigh. How the fuck did I get here? DUNCAN WALLACE

Volume 10, Issue 1 The start of semester is an exciting time. We come back refreshed and ready to tackle new subjects and new law. All of us go through similar rituals: filling binders, buying textbooks and getting fired up about the seriously thrilling prospect of new stationery. To be fair, the last one is a personal quirk. Not everyone feels the way I do about Post-It Notes and temptingly blank exercise books. AMANI GREEN
Volume 10, Issue 1 The Corporate Law Hackathon was held over the break, and some eager De Minimis writers were keen to inquire as to whether the occasion would involve widespread hacking of corporate law firms to release us all from the debt-shackles of global capitalism, a la Mr Robot. The answer was a firm no. It was indeed another occasion to ingratiate ourselves further with corporate law firms. |
