STS Property: Catch-up Tutorial
A catch-up STS Property Tutorial will be held as follows:
The Annual Sir Anthony Mason Lecture 2011
On behalf of the Melbourne University Law Students' Society, it is our pleasure to invite you to the 2011 Sir Anthony Mason Lecture.
The Lecture was inaugurated in 1995, the year of Sir Anthony Mason's retirement as Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia. It serves to celebrate his outstanding contribution to the legal profession and the common law of Australia, as well as offering the opportunity for students to meet and listen to those who have helped to shape the law as we study it. It is one of the most significant events of the MULSS calendar and in particular for the Education Portfolio.
STS Property tutorial cancelled (Week 7)
Richmond is still quite ill so he won't make it to the Property tute today. He has promised to do a 2-hour catch up during the break.
Mindfulness Seminars
The Melbourne Law School in collaboration with the University of Melbourne Counselling Service offers a program of mindfulness workshops specifically for JD and LLB students during Semester 2, 2011.
Mindfulness is form of self-awareness adapted from the Buddhist tradition of meditation. Considerable research has found mindfulness to have significant health benefits and to be helpful in the management of stress, the ability to focus on study and the promotion of coping and wellbeing.
Curious? An introductory session will be held to offer an overview and short practice.
