Litigation Team C rocks!

"Did a celebrity spokesperson breach an implied condition when she failed to perform with the continuity required for the term of the employment contract?"

"Was the employer entitled to repudiate the contract when the celebrity contracted skin disease?"

"Did an extraneous supervening event radically alter the nature of the contract such that performance has become legally impossible?"

Turned off yet? haha...Imagine trying to resolve these issues in bed, in the shower and even while using the toilet!

These were the areas that my team had to research for our case presentation. We were role playing junior partners in a law firm and had to draft a predictive memorandum for the senior partners.

The past few weeks have been hell...16 hour days spent poring through ancient texts in the law library...struggling with our schoolwork...office politics...mood swings...tantrums and outbursts...moments of reflection and contemplation...weekends that were incinerated by the demands of the project...and did i mention that coffee no longer works for me? I know because I once fell asleep while sipping my mocha.

Thank God we have a brilliant team!

Initially, I was very apprehensive about working with Pat and Ann Gee. Keeping up with them was never easy and there were moments when I felt slow/blur/just plain inadequate...Pat's spontaneous energy kept me on my toes all the time; Ann Gee's stamina was simply astounding. Working with them was excruciatingly tiring, but I learnt alot and had a ball of a time (not doing the memo, but hanging out with them)...

Best part of our partnership?

Eating delicious cake from Awfully Chocolate during our emotionally charged discussion sessions!

No wonder Patrick said I was gaining weight...It's like that one la...when you are stressed you tend to eat alot!

We were grilled viciously for the Oral Presentation and one of the senior partners said our arguments were "outlandish".

Whatever la...It's law school lor...even if you give two hundred per cent effort there will always be someone who shoots you down...used to it already...haha Posted by Picasa
