vexx, definitely do not do law if you're just aiming for a high GPA to transfer. Law is probably one of the more likely disciplines to kill your average.
Also intro to legal reasoning is nothing like actual substantive law units - try criminal law, it's probably one of the easier subjects (and more interesting too, who doesn't like learning about murder and drugs???)

Oh no i wouldn't do it for a high GPA, but i'd be trying to transfer to medicine and getting into medicine along the way, just because thats where i want to be. And law would there for interest/backup plan/experience something different.. which is why im not sure if i even want to do it cos its a lot of work/difficult to do well/can be boring.
but criminal law, just watched the start, seems quite interesting actually, im sure i would like this, but the other parts not too sure. i like all this justifying, looking for arguments/issues type thing.
and as lynt.br says that its like year 12 legal studies, which seems horrible haha for my first year experience of law :p

You'll still do Contract Law in first year provided you aren't doing biomed/law or eng/law or something like that. I find Contracts pretty interesting but then again I also find RAW interesting and sit in random lectures whenever I have breaks so my idea of interesting is probably different to most people's.
Russ:
Based on the highly accurate sample of my friends Facebook updates, they all hate RAW with a passion lol
vexx:
nahh i'd only be doing biomed/law..
haha what is RAW?
ninwa:
RAW = research and writing i.e. learning how to write in legalese, legal referencing etc.
Quite a dry subject. -_-
Still, if you want to transfer you want the highest GPA possible. Doing law really doesn't help you in that respect... I think you really need to make a choice: law or medicine?
