Preparing for Law School in two hours
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2024
- This two hour law course is intended for students who are about to embark on the study of law - or for those of you who have already started, but feel like you are drowning. We break down a law course; a law subject; and a week in the life of a law subject. We look at the best way to take and assemble notes; and we look at how to smash assessments out of the park.
We'll also talk about advanced literacy (and how to achieve it), the importance of logic to law students, how to read citations and operate the key databases, and how the ensure that you are job-ready when you finish your law degree.
Welcome to the study of law!
Im a 50 plus woman of no education past year 7 , i self represented myself in a 5 day trial an was aqquitted of the charges brought against me , all i had was Anthonys videos it took 3yrs there the hardest 3yrs because i had to learn the criminal law codes acts etc .this man here speaks simple truth an establishes its truth when learning the law , thank you Anthony you are a ledgend an the golden thread that bines the defence and prosecution in any matter before a court you helped me establish in my case . love ya works.
Well done you! Very glad to have been on your team :)
Amazing!!!
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. 😊
Hi I am a JD student just completed 6 units glad I subscribed Anthony’s channel. It is gold for me ! 🎉🎉🎉thank you!
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!
That's wonderful to hear, thank you. I wish you the very best of luck with your studies!
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!
This has erased any uncertainty about applying for my LLB as a career change.
Thank you very much for this video!
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.
The BEST ever! So needed this.
Subscribed! I am an Aussie entrepreneur and see so many benefits of law in business/the workplace. Thanks a bunch for this 🙏
Welcome aboard!
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.
Thanks so much for your kind words!
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!
Hey thanks so much!
Hi Anthony, I'm starting law school in a few weeks and so glad I found your channel. Found the advice really helpful, thanks so much!
I'm really glad you found it helpful - and best of luck with your studies!
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
That's exactly the sort of feedback I love receiving. All the best for your studies, Nathan.
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 Elle, how exciting to be beginning your degree! I really hope the videos help you, and I wish you all the very best for your studies!
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.
That's awesome! All the best for your studies :)
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
23:52 the greatest benefit of attending lectures in person is association.
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 :)
Hey thanks so much!
This is great! Thank you so much Anthony!
My pleasure!
Very interesting and informative video. Thank you
Your video is fantastic and extremely helpful. I intend to follow your system as I embark on my mature aged study.
That's great, Margaret. All the very best with your studies!
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
My very great pleasure! I'm so glad you found this helpful.
Your passion is well received. :) thank you
I appreciate that!
Thanks again Anthony-great strategies!
My pleasure!
Really good video. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
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!!
You are most welcome!
Thank you Mr Marinac! 🙏🏽
You're very welcome!
This was really useful. Cheers!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing
My pleasure!
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.
Glad you found it interesting Jase! And if the world was just, who'd need lawyers? ;-)
Going to the live lecture on campus prevents me from being distracted - neurospicey 🐿️
3::21am I'm going to bed just completed look forward to learning from you when I wake up
Perfect proffesor👍🏾
Thank you! 😃
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.
@@YetMoreCupsOfTea I got offered a CSP for a JD as well but I thought that was normal (starting in 2023). Is this not normal?
@@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.
@@YetMoreCupsOfTea ok, wow. Thank my lucky stars then 🙏🏽
Very helpful. Thankyou.
You're welcome!
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!"
You're very welcome, Chris, and thanks so much for such a useful tip!
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.
I am so glad I bumped into your channel. Thank you so much. I knew nothing about Halsbury's . Blessings!
You are so welcome!
Very useful information
I'm glad it helped 😊
Thank you so much!
You're very welcome! All the best for your studies!
@@AnthsLawSchool as a second time around law student (I’m a foreign qualified lawyer about to commence my Australian bridging courses), I can confirm we had nothing like this back then. We were dumped in the deep end and left to either sink or swim. 🙈
I love the way you explain, clearly and in laypersons language. No latin gobblygock. Do you have a criminal law 2 hour video?
Thanks again
Thanks so much! And yep, you bet I do:

@@AnthsLawSchool thanks
This is a brilliant seminar - thank you so much for your wise and easy to follow advice. I am sure this will be incredibly helpful in my LPAB course!
Good luck with the LPAB course, Daina. It's a tough course but some of the best lawyers I know, came through that course.
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?
Got me! No, there are only four. Initially I was going to mention five, but two of them were so similar that I cut it down to four. Ooops!
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!
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.
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.
Personally I'd suggest a proper LLB every time. The JD really does seem more like a moneymaking stunt to me.
This is really interesting. The Australian system is very different from the US or Canadian system of Law School.
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.
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!
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 :-) !
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.
Where was this shortly before September ? *cries in semester 2 online uni due to corona virus measurments*
*grins* Sorry mate ... I'm making these as fast as I can!
7/5= 1.4
Where is it even legal for a 15yo to be intoxicated in the 1st place???🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I've just started a Juris Doctor and I think you're opinion stinks!
*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.
