2L Dispatch: The Ugly American
I’ve noticed a trend developing in my classes here in Sydney (all of which have an international law focus).

Exile in Bondi: First Impressions of Sydney

Moot Court is now over, yet another obstacle of my first year of law school that I have sort of blindly skipped my way past. It’s a required class so I had no choice in the matter. Moot court has two aspects, a written brief and an oral argument. The Powers That Be grade it [...]
