Construction Law Degree?
Q: I'm thinking of posting the following immediately as a constructive
response to Homework Help questions in future. Can anyone suggest any
improvements? Any other ideas? Can anyone give me a cite for the UK
equivalent of the Boys Big Book, the Australian version is CCH
Australian Business Law?
Regular posters to uk.legal are generally happy to help students by
discussing the interesting or complex aspects of a problem but are a bit
reluctant to provide a homework answering service on the basics. Some
are quite offended by a bald question like "Please answer this question
for me".
Without getting deeply into academic ethics and usenet, let's assume
that a newsgroup post is equivalent to brainstorming with fellow
students or starting a discussion with someone. Let's further assume
that you will be scrupulous in adhering to the rules about cheating,
plagiarism, and citation in your assignment.
It's always helpful to say what sort of course and what level you're
studying at. The sort of responses given to a final year law student, a
first year business studies student, or a polytechnic certificate
student will probably be different, and different people may well
respond.
A:I want to state at this point that where I live the Lancashire Evening
Telegraph has a lawyer who gives out free legal advice via the legal column
and students often write in with legal problems. I read them sometimes and
think why didnt I think of that? But sometimes they are too obvious
especially when it comes down to Tort and surveyors liability etc. A good
laugh to say the least.
I sincerely hope John Declan isn't copping grief from the academinazis,
and if he is is mounting every defence of strict construction on his
rather ham-fisted previous post.
I've just finished my Master in Construction Law degree. So I wasn't a
law student, but I've done some pretty serious law studies.
But what difference does it make?
My feelings in response to homework help posts vary from considerable
offence at the lack of 'professionalism' as a student (i.e. lack of
simple skills of being a student), when a senior student declares to all
the world that they don't understand a simple question, to a
considerable sympathy when beginning and non-law students are faced with
poorly drafted
