Beefy's corner- the place for off topic stuff

I chose company law, international commercial law, and intellectual property. If you've done EU law, then it's a good idea to take ICL as they tie in quite nicely. Both ICL and IP were pretty interesting, but I struggled a little with company because it was really dry and technical and I couldn't focus on it.

ICL is mostly about the movement of goods and persons between countries, and it goes into shipping laws and stuff. I thought it was pretty easy to understand and I did rather well in it.

IP is mostly copyright and trademarks, but there's also stuff like passing off, which can be a little more confusing, but a lot of the module ties in with tort, which is useful. Also you have to remember loads of cases for this one, but obviously that's not such a problem if it's mostly coursework.

Company starts off really easy (stuff like how companies are set up) and then suddenly dives into really technical stuff about articles of association, and you have to learn two sets of laws, post-1996 and pre-1996, because companies established before 1996 are subject to the old laws. It winds me up just talking about it.

 

Great, thanks, I'll make sure to keep all that in mind (mainly to avoid company because that sounds like ****). You mention ICL tying in with EU - I hate EU Law, so would it be a bad idea to take ICL? Or do they tie in with each other but aren't very similar?

 

I liked it better when you were talking about Taylor Swift and Sex in the City you boring ****s.

And congratulations, Joe.

 

What I want to know is... how did a pubescent Frank Abagnale Jr learn enough law in no more than a month to fool judges and juries..?

 

Because juries are normally full of morons.

 

That's half an answer.

 

Well if I remember correctly, the EU module was very political and focused on the history of the EU, all the treaties and that ****, and its compatibility (or lack thereof) with UK law? ICL doesn't involve a lot of that, but it helps to know the EU generally functions, how EU borders differ from non-EU borders, and what restrictions there are to EU countries restricting movement of persons and goods across their borders. It's all about crossing borders.

 

I don't know anything about either of those things. And I don't know about NFL either.

And thanks!

 

Yep that's pretty much what EU is. This doesn't sound nearly as bad - I'll consider it. Thanks for your help - beats going in blind!

 

Justin Bieber decided this outfit was appropriate for meeting the Canadian Prime Minister:

I would not have shaken his hand.

 

Canadian Prime Minister... honestly, seems like a pretty appropriate getup.

 

Environmental Hazards and Disaster Management. Looks at Earthquakes, Tsunamis, flooding etc and managing them. Anyway well done on your graduation, hopefully I will be in the same boat next year!

 

Well well well! Maybe I was a bit quick to write you off lamb! 122 from Cook, 186 from KP...

 

See Tom ye of lille faith. Now for the important bit!

 

I just assumed England would completely mess it up today. Yes I had little faith in England!

 

Monty gets Sehwag! Caught by Swann in the gully. India 30-1.

 

Pujara, England's nemesis has gone for 6! Caught by Bairstow off Swann. 37-2.

 

This is going very well!

 

It is, but I don't want England chasing much more than 100. The pitch is deteriorating. It will be horrible on day 5!

 

Another one bites the dust. Tendulkar's gone - lbw to Panesar!
