people wrong. One day you think you're
Marshall Eriksen, the next you realise
you're practically Ted Mosby! And don't
even get to thinking that you're Chandler
Bing, because, let's face it, you're actually
Ross Geller. Oh, the horror! It's not your
fault though. You have spent the last few
years (or will spend the next few years)
learning to do just that. Not to mention the
fact that you are likely to spend the rest
of your working life surrounded by other
people just like this. But still, maybe it
wouldn't hurt to let the argument slide on
Friday nights over drinks.
a Boots chemist, laugh at one
of the countless snail-in-ginger-
beer jokes, or have a fan girl/boy
moment over High Court judges
rather than celebrities. At least
you know you got something out
of reading a 200-page case. But
is that worth the weird looks you
get from your non-law student
friends? Of course it is... of
course it is.
word limit is, rather than how difficult
it is to reach. 1500 words, inclusive of
footnotes? Not possible! Three pages,
double-spaced? You've got to be
kidding me! Then again, considering
the fact that many law students of
today will end up one day writing
judicial decisions, it's no wonder our
lecturers want us to be as concise as
possible. They don't want to be stuck
reading yet another 200-page case!
Can you blame them, really?
