The law and sexual violence: A troubled relationship

19/10/2015

 
KATY HAMPSON
Volume 8, Issue 10

*
Warning: Contains references to sexual assault *
Over this year’s winter break, I, along with many other JD students, took the intensive subject Evidence and Proof. We were lucky enough to have a guest lecture on the laws of evidence from Justice of the High Court, Kenneth Hayne. At the end of the lecture, he asked if anyone had any questions. From the back of the crowded lecture theatre, with perhaps a little shakiness in my voice, I piped up:

In Defence of Inclusive Language

19/10/2015

 
SANAYA KHISTY
Volume 8, Issue 10
Over the past three years at law school I have had very strong views on a number of issues that those close to me (and some not so close) have been subjected to on a frequent basis.

19/10/2015

 
Equity Uncle writes on behalf of De Minimis
Volume 8, Issue 10
Shocking revelations of corruption, bias and incompurtancy within De Minimis (DM) have been released less than a week after the group’s Annual General Meeting.

An open response to the 'Law Students for Refugees' from the LSS leadership team

19/10/2015

 
MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY LAW STUDENTS SOCIETY
Volume 8, Issue 10

De Minimis recently published an open letter from the organisation ‘Law Students for Refugees’, urging the Law Students’ Society to take a stance against offshore processing. This is the LSS’s response.

Time is Money: Fear of the Word "Class"

19/10/2015

 
TIMOTHY SARDER
Volume 8, Issue 10
As expected, students at the law school are extremely savvy, politically astute and socially aware. The discussions in the floors at 185 Pelham St, the thoughtful pieces in the student magazines, and the deconstruction of intricate political issues I see on the JD Facebook pages, are a just a few instances where this is demonstrated.

Failure is the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently 

19/10/2015

 
CLAIRE POYSER
Volume 8, Issue 10

'Failure is the opportunity to begin again, only this time more intelligently' - Henry Ford

For people who are naturally good at talking, and who are so incredibly intelligent, we law students (and the profession more broadly) are just woeful at talking about things that really matter - the elephants in the room.

An editor’s note on the LSS social media policy

19/10/2015

 
DUNCAN WALLACE
Volume 8, Issue 10
The LSS social media policy has proved contentious. There are those who see it as an appropriate response to hurtful speech, and those who see it as problematic since it is overly prescriptive.

SNAILS: It's Not a Race

JJ KIM
Volume 8, Issue 9
​“I’m just saying! You’re alright man, you’re not a part of them, you’re like a white Asian… but some of these Asians you see around the building, I can’t bloody stand them!”

In Defence of Trolling: (another) open letter to the LSS

12/10/2015

 
LEOPOLD BAILEY
Volume 8, Issue 9
​

Dear MULSS,

I read the recently promulgated Social Media Policy with some concern and am writing to voice my views on what I perceive to be the impermissible overreach of the policy. At the outset, I acknowledge the LSS’s request that feedback be sent privately to the Communications Director. However, it did not seem appropriate to adhere to this request in light of the thrust of my concerns voiced below.

The seven stages of clerkships

5/10/2015

 
CLARKE SHIPLEY
Volume 8, Issue 8
The clerkship process is, in one sense, a LIV coordinated route for getting an internship in corporate law. In another (more accurate?) sense, it’s a grueling psychological marathon designed to weed out those with any faint candle of life still flickering within. It’s probably both. Except that the first sense is a faint possibility, and the second is a given.

LSFR: Open Letter to the LSS

5/10/2015

 
LAW STUDENTS FOR REFUGEES
Volume 8, Issue 8

Dear LSS Executive Committee,
 
Earlier this semester the 2015 Executive Committee voted to endorse marriage equality and to advocate for its legalisation in Australia. The LSS stated at the time that underpinning this advocacy was its constitutionally-entrenched purpose to “promote a commitment to social justice and a critical interest in law and the operation of law in society”.[1]
