i'm doing well, but so are most people as our unit 3 sacs were open book lol
so i didn't need to study/memorise anything
i'd say i'm around 2nd or 3rd rank

yeah pretty much!
our sacs aren't tests, they're mainly essay questions, but we're given the topic before hand and are allowed to bring in whatever we want :)
but don't worry, our sac marks are gonna be hacked down by the moderation process :P

yeah we're probably the only school that does open book legal sacs :P
i think unit 4 will be closed book though, my teacher said she just wanted everyone to have a chance to pass at least one unit

i'm using justice and outcomes too. did you find the chapter on court jursidictions (chap 6) too detailed? i ignored quite a bit of that chapter coz it was just info overload lol.

OVERLOADED?!! more like a novel!!!! gar it was no use to me and competely pointless.... my summary on that chapter was like 3 pages... not even... we we started that chapter i was like o.O ..yeah watever not reading ALL of it. its so basic yet the book makes it so complicated.

what chapter are you up to? and we only have ONE open book sac. does VCAA know u guys are doing open book?

LOL! That would be a bit scary. I went to Barwon prison for Legal last year. Was a great experience. It seems so corrupt. The prisoners told us "if you want something you'll get it" and that those drug detecting machines are a piece of crap

well i guess SACs don't really matter that much anyway, it's all on the exam, so we're screwed haha

wow the prisoner's remembered you? what kind of prisoners were they- burgulars or assaultists (i don't think that's a word lol) or what.  did they seem nice?

we were supposed to go to prison last year (lol), but our trip got cancellled.  but we did get to see some pretty cool court cases, which was fun.

we saw a murder case too, this guy whacked this underworld guy with a shovel.

we also saw the guys who ran a riot and trashed a blockbuster store, that was interesting coz they were all trialled at the same time. one guy's lawyer even called his client an idiot lol. great defence.

Haha my ex was working at Maccas the morning after in Noble Park and she found all these DVDs in the carpark (Maccas is in close proximity to Blockbuster) so she picked them up and put them in her bag and then when she got inside they told her to put them back cause it was a crime scene so she went outside and scattered the DVD's back on the ground haha... something like that

LOL are you serious?
i love the fact how she scattered the dvds to try and resemble the crime scene again. sounds like something i'd try to do lol.

so do you mean the police followed her into maccas to tell her to put the DVDs back?
Title: Re: what is every one up to
Post by: costargh on July 14, 2008, 04:05:02 pm
Hahha yeh it's all true. But nah I think the thing was that because the crime scene was so large the police couldn't tape off all of noble park lol so they told the management of maccas to keep an eye on the carpark and so when she got inside they (the employees/managers) told her what had happened the night before and were like "didnt you hear what happened you idiot. you cant just pick them up!!!" so she put them back
