The death penalty has always intrigued me. The notion that a man's life can be taken away because he committed an offence is something that needs constant discussion and review. The reason for my statement is that the finality of this punishment means that if a wrong judgement is reached and the death penalty is [...]
There is a new format in terms of assignments for our law school. In the past, it used to be 5 assignments for each module with 3 quizzes. These 5 assignments usually had a deadline of 2 weeks. The assignment would be released on a Monday and would be due the following Sunday. I always [...]
Adults seem to think that we need to teach everything to our children. Not only do we need to teach them how to study, we need to teach them how to become better people. I have heard from many of my friends with children about how they teach children the right principles, how they correct [...]
Time flies really quickly. It is a cliche line but I have to say it. It truly feels recent that I entered law school as a freshman. Just about two and a half years later, it feels like the finishing line is so very close. Apparently I have to look for a training contract but [...]
It all started with a very random idea when we were year 1s. A bunch of us committed to this idea that we would pay a "fine" if we did not hit a minimum grade for our assignments. At the end of the semester, we would have all the fines collected and this money would [...]

The cumulation of a semester's hard work was two 3-hour exams, frantically typed into an application called Examplify. [...]
Or perhaps it SHOULD be the epitome of logic... Tonight was the last class for the first of two modules of family law. To be honest, I did not enjoy the module at the onset. I felt that it was too theoretical, too conceptual and extremely academic. I am a person who takes to modules [...]
I personally believe that I am who I am currently because of where I came from. I was extremely fortunate to have gone to institutions that have built up my character and that has served me very well in my life thus far. My formal education, disregarding my kindergarten years, started at St. Michael's School. [...]
For the first time in my journey as a law student, I've come across something in the statute that I genuinely believe should not exist. It is something that I feel strongly against and I believe that our statute should not have such a provision. In section 64 of the Women's Charter 1961 (Women's Charter), [...]
