Thank you for taking time to commit to educating students and people whom you can not even see, I am incredibly appreciative of your content. As a first year law student your videos inspire me and also allow me to gather breathing space during my semesters because your methods really work for me!
Your prep videos and lectures are “pure gold”. I was going about preparation the wrong way until I watched this video. I intend on watching as many of your lectures and other informative videos before I hit uni. Thank you for all your hard work Anthony! Super useful!
Hi Anthony, I’ve recently started a JD and have been very overwhelmed. As an educator I am shocked at the little prep they have for JD students and the introduction course is not enough. The change in style in writing and thinking is significant enough to have its own subject in many cases. All I kept think was that would make the job of reading student work a lot more enjoyable for the lecturers. I was unhappy with my performance but I know next term will be different. I learnt the hard way and wish I’d come across this vid, but watching this vid has made me more excited about next term. Thank you so much for your videos they have been such a treasure and you are an incredible educator and I’m grateful to have at least access to you online. 😊
Starting my studies in Oct. I'm 34 now, so it's been some time since I've studied and I'm a tad nervous 😂. This vid has put my mind at ease, a lot! Thanks, Anthony.
I just wonder why you think trimester makes things more consistent for part time students. I’ve been analysing your statement and wonder what you mean by that. Because I feel trimester is quick and intense so it’s hard to pick more than one subject due to many readings etc. To my knowledge semester is longer and slower so I can pick 2 units. It’s easier to be on top of it. Therefore picking 2 subjects per semester will finish the degree quicker as opposed to picking 1 subjects per trimester. And yes I was great marks. But I wish someone could guide me if I’m wrong or right or why trimester make study more consistent ? Again I don’t want to pick a lot Bcz I want good marks. I wonder if you mean 2 units per semester for part time students is a lot ! And no - I got no family . Just pets
Anthony, this was fantastic, and that's from a 50+year old with no interest in formally studying law. What an amazing resource for young students. Thank you.
Dr Marinac, this is the second week of my law course and I have to say, without this video I would’ve stayed completely lost even though I have completed other university courses. Your videos are amazingly helpful. Thank you.
I am 6 Weeks into my LLB course and this is video gold as is the learning law book. You have given me a great format for taking notes that previously I was struggling with. I think I had been "researching " how to take notes more than I had been studying, thank you very much Professor Marinac
Thank you so much, Anthony! As a non-common law area student, I've been overwhelmed and anxious about how to study and structure notes for law. This video is a Godsend! Thank YOU SO MUCH!!
What perfectly explained video. I hope people understand that this is priceless if your actually interested in studying and practicing law. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Anthony. Keep up the great work mate!
OMG, I just finished watching and it is BRAVO !! I am just about to start my very first two core units of law, Torts and Public Law, in Sydney Law School and watching this is so helpful! Thank you so much Anthony
Thank you so much, I can't even describe how much I am grateful for your teaching. I am starting law school next year at the age of 40. I was more than happy to accept the offer then started being terrified as English is my second language and I am way too old to catch up with the new trend of education. I watched your video over and over, taking notes, and learned so much about how to plan my study! I am so excited to start studying now and will try your study method by studying your lectures so I can get used to it before I start my course next year. Thank you so much again, I hope I will be one day standing in the same field where you are Sir, as a legal practitioner!
Hi Anthony, thank you for the marvelous content you've been offering for so many years. I really enjoy watching your videos and wish you all the best :)
Great video Anthony - thank you. I was just admitted to a Juris Doctor (I was very lucky to get a Commonwealth supported place - I wouldn't be able to afford it otherwise) at one of the Go8 universities that seems to have a good balance of theory/practical/social as you speak of them. While I get your dislike of the name of the JD, it was the most practical choice for me as someone who has a couple of degrees already and will be studying part-time (they offer night classes for all of their core courses). I start in Feb, so I'll be working my way through as many videos of yours as I can before then!
Hi Shaun, congratulations for taking your first step on the road towards the profession! Don't mind me grumping about the name of the JD. It certainly isn't intended to reflect on the students who decide it's the best path for them (unless they go around telling folks they have a doctorate). I'm glad the videos are useful - please tell your friends! :)
@@AnthsLawSchool As it happens, I work as an academic skills advisor (and have written a couple of books on writing skills for uni students), so I will most definitely be recommending the videos to the law students that I see.
@@rawirihemi27 Nope. They are competitive positions. Most of my classmates don't have a CSP. They can defer fees to FEE-HELP but don't get the fee subsidy. They are paying more than twice what a CSP does.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This video has been so helpful to me! I was lost on most things since I started studying but your video cleared up things I wanted to know but didn't know how to ask, if that makes any sense. I am happy that you gave info on the note-taking. I'm going to try it as that was my main issue. Thank you so much.
Fascinating insights into the psychological elements of interacting with the elements of legal argument! Thank -you Anthony. Bit depressing that the just world bias isn't a given.
Thank you for this remarkably helpful video! I am watching it for the second time, taking notes (good practice) and pausing to follow up on your recommendations. I thought you or others watching might like to know to the Australian Government Style Manual is now an online database and free. I also wanted to ask which particular Oxford Writing Guide you recommend (I live remotely and accessing a library is difficult, but I only want to buy it once) as entering that term came up with four different ones on Booktopia. Finally, is there a particularly good introduction to logic that you would recommend? I plan to commence study for a JD in 2022 and I am spending my free time this year preparing, I think your lectures will give me a good start and enough confidence to cope with remote learning as my previous learning was done on campus at Melbourne Uni in the early 2000s, therefore very much "Old School!"
The BEST ever! So needed this. However, I have a question? Where would I find on your channel, how to search and find the principles and elements in law? Secondly, should I always find the principles first, and then compare the elements against the principles? In Short, is there a method of doing this? I hope this makes sense.
Hi Anthony, I am enjoying the videos. I am about to embark on a degree in Law but worry as I am dyslexic and my spelling and grammar are a weakness. Any tips to overcome my fears about exams. Thank you
Hi there. I don't know very much about dyslexia I'm afraid, but there is no getting around the fact that law study will involve a lot of reading (as will actual legal practice). So I would be working on strategies to deal with that. Spelling and grammar you can definitely work on though. I strongly recommend the Oxford Writing Guide as a place to start, but there are also some great grammar websites online. Best of luck!
Hello again, Dr M. As someone has already said, and I reiterate, .... "GOLD"... (with Spandau Ballet serendipitously playing in my head... "you've got the power to know..." ). Anyway, I would like to make a request. You have a phD, so I was wondering if you would be open to recording a video discussing the types of "legal research" that could lead to a higher degree and perhaps punctuate that with your own experiences. This is something that I would be interested in myself eventually. Thanks again for all your great work.
Hey thanks so much for such kind words Sam! I hope you have since discovered my "Agony Anth" series, where I do talk occasionally about things like reseearch. Hope your study is going great, and keep rocking the 80s!
@@AnthsLawSchool Discovered? I've bookmarked them! My studies are going really well, thank you for asking, but only because you can "Show me the way" (Peter Frampton, 1975). I guess the 70s rock too now :-) !
It sure is, partly because it is an undergraduate degree here - there is no pre-law college program. Generally speaking I think the Australian methods of teaching law are superior to those in the USA, although both really are stuck in the 19th century.
Hi, thank you so much for this. However, I noticed that you said at 0:50m that there are five types of short answer questions. Nevertheless, you only introduced four. Is there any that I missed?

As a Graduate looking to further studies within Law what is your opinion on different pathways. I.e. Graduate LLB or Juris Doctor? Clearly the costs involved with the JD are a weighing factor however with regards to overal course content can you shed any light to help a confused soul. I get the JD is a fairly new concept within Australia and have heard mixed reports comparing the two.
Ok I got questions ! If u r employed fulltime and mature student and want to study part time - is it better to go with the uni that offers trimester and pick one subject per trimester or go with the uni that offers semester but do 2 units per semester ? Next question is that can I study in QLD but do PLT in nsw and work in nsw? Is it okay if I do my degree online ?
Hi! Personally I think for part timers, trimester programs are always going to be more advantageous than semester programs, as you can study consistently. I would start with one subject per Trimester, then you can easily lift to two once you are comfortable studying, depending of course on your experience, the nature of your work/family/life demands, and the grades you are chasing. Online study can be very effective if done well. My experience is that very few universities, and VERY few lecturers, do it well. Online teaching is much, much more work than F2F teaching, and requires a different skill set. Make the uni PROVE to you that they have an online program that meets your needs. Best of luck!
hi , quick question. (meta-Language) Key Principle of Law and Proposition of Law, are they the same thing, as in, can you swap them in and out for the same meaning
Hi Peta, I would say they are *almost* interchangeable. A proposition is probably a little more specific than a principle. But honestly, I am nit picking there. I would say in 99 percent of cases, you could swap one out for the other.
Hello. Could please make videos on contractual obligations such as indimitiy, liabilities, defect liability, epidemic, endemic, etc. Could u please share some course name for me to do on these points?One question as well please,, does indemnity clause will supersede limitations of liability clauses?
Hi, if you look around my channel I am sure you will find a lot of helpful stuff on these topics. Generally speaking an indemnity clause makes a limitation of liability clause redundant: if there can never be liability in the first place, because of the indemnity, then the limitation clause has no work to do.
@@AnthsLawSchool thank u, I greatly appreciate ur response. I will try to find those videos on ur list. I hope I can find them, I initially did look before I asked, but didn't see.
*your Whilst you haven't exactly provided an argument against my view, it would make sense that someone studying a JD has a more positive view of that program than I do. Regardless, I have had many, many happy viewers studying a JD rather than an LLB, and I wish you the very best with your studies.
