Lulz.

I love that two people in Aarhus were arrested. One for spraying the prime minister with water, the other one for throwing a tomato at her and missing :lol:
You can get arrested and convicted of attempt to commit most crimes. They don't have to be a "success" (completed) to qualify for punishment, although punishment for attempt is always less severe.

For instance, if I try to shoot another person and fail to hit the target completely, I can still be punished (attempted murder).

As for spraying someone with water, or throwing a tomato at someone, it is indeed a criminal offence ("legemskrænkelse" in Danish criminal law). Another matter is that such offenses are rarely reported and prosecuted, but they can.

If I was mistaken as to the grounds for your "Lulz" then my apologies :D

Thanks :D. The bitch PM should do some public service and organise a tomato throwing hour with a target painted on her face.

Oh you bastard... I got 3 years left in law school (not counting my thesis). BITCH!

Anyways, I'm guessing you already chose your law specialty. Whatcha gonna do boe?!
I'm pretty sure that I'll decide on a criminal law or human rights subject for my thesis. I still have some time to decide, so I haven't made up my mind yet. Then, of course, what kind of work in the years immediately following my education will obviously also have a great impact on what kind of lawyer I will become. But I will give my all to make sure it's in the area of criminal law. It's funny, because when I started out I was much more interested in contract law, construction, shipping, tort etc., but with time I've grown more and more fond of criminal law as a field. I know that there is more money in business law (potential superwealthy clients), but I don't think about the money for a second. In the end, I just wanna enjoy what I'm doing, and I'm becoming more and more aware of what that is.

And you?

That touched my soul :touched:

Well, I'm just a baby and I'm finishing my first year so it's hard to tell what I'm gonna choose in the end. I still have a lot of subjects to study and learn but I'm more inclined to corporate and civil law.

Criminal law is awesome, by the way. I find it interesting, just like civil law.

Just woke up after a 15 hour sleep. My sleeping cycle has been corrected. :)

Btw, I just applied for an MA in Philosophy yesterday. Should have an academic interview after a few weeks, and if I get through, classes start in June.

Although if I do get a well paying job offer between now and then, then I might go for that. Money > knowledge.

Yeah, I hear you. There hasn't been a single subject yet that I haven't enjoyed to some extent. Law is law, in the sense that you still use a core legal method when approaching all of these problems. So it seems we are alike in the sense that we simply love that part of it!

Feel free to PM me for a discussion on various topics at anytime. We don't have to bore the forum more then necessary :D

I'm always interested in comparative international law. Norwegian and scandinavian law has become very international over the past decades. In fact, in a recent finding, it was found that 7500 rules in Norwegian law stem from the EU alone, without Norway even being a member state. It has happened over the course of time due to the entering into of many agreements with the EU by Norway.

I've made it a task in my career to be as updated as I possibly can on international law, particulary EU-law. I was at the Supreme Court in Norway a couple of days ago and overheard a trial, and it struck me how remarkably efficient it is to bring such law material into one's line of argumentation.

It was my boyfriend and I's four year anniversary today. We went for a nice dinner, which was made strange by the fact that my thesis supervisor was sat at the table next to us.

As if the forum wasn't already bored.

Nice. I can't believe a country has so much influence on other countries when it comes to law these days. It usually takes a huge event for other states to follow.

While your legal system is efficient and pretty, our Bolivian system is crap... Even our different codes have so many grammatical mistakes... and while the justice system is corrupt and slow, most cases aren't even solved in the end. My gosh, we even have a judge that throws coke leaves to the air to make a decision... It's a circus

Don't even get me started on the Supreme Court here.

Your only salvation if you want a quick and efficient process is arbitration.

Hectic and stressful day :sad:

But I did get to inaugurate my spring/summer with a big glass of beer with some friends at a pub (with outside serving) on Oslo's main street earlier in the day. It was heavenly :touched:

I'm laughing, but yeah it's a tragedy. Deep down I'm absolutely disgusted by such conditions. But I'm well aware of them. You have quite the challenges laying ahead of you, my friend.
