Hope it goes well,
I'm still trying to figure out what on earth made me take law :-\ I curse whoever put it in my head!

 

[Ummah]

btw: what is dissertation?

its a big massive independant study, about 15000 words long. you choose your own topic (has to be a problem you have with the law) and complete it over the year.

its optional, you can either pick dissertation + 3 elective + 1 mandatory subject
or
5 electives + mandatory subject

[- Qatada -]

:salamext:


I don't have the commentary on this hadith, but for anyone who's trying to strive to be a judge, then please be careful;

Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allaah (peace be upon him) said;

"Judges are of three types: two of whom will go to Hell and one to Paradise. The one who will go to Paradise is the judge who knew what is right and gives judgement accordingly; but a judge who knows what is right and does not give judgement accordingly; and acts unjustly in his judgement will go to Hell, and a judge who does not know what is right and judges people while ignorant (of the case) will go to Hell."

Related by the four Imams and Al-Hakim graded it as Sahih [authentic.]

I am going to school to be a lwayer, i have change my major from engineer. I want to be halal lawyer that is doing for Allah sake; such being civil right lawyer.

 

[IceQueen~]

I don't understand how anyone can study LAW from a non-muslim system...?
Their whole concept is against Islam because with them it doesn't matter who's right and who's wrong but just who can pay the most money

so you'll get ax-murderers being let off the hook through manipulation of words...?!

no offense anyone, just wondering...

That's why I want to go into intellectual property law. It's a tad more fair, methinks.

LOL. I screwed up my A-levels trying to do Laws. I had to opt for engineering instead. Which means I'm out of your league people. Someone pls kick me out.

This isnt directed at you but u jus reminded me of somathing --->>
i think theres a difference between a person who creates and enforces non-islamic law, and a person who simply advises on the law of a non-islamic country that you as a civilian choose to live in.
If you've chosen to live in a non-muslim country then you;re automatically abiding by its non-muslim laws. so why do people attack muslims for studying the law of that country?

in regards to defendings guilty people/criminals i.e. twisting words/lieing..theres many difference branches of law. as the person below you has said, they want to go into intellectual property law (same as me). so you're not always doing the same kinda stuff

They have nothing better to do and/or they just went to prison?

[Protected_Diamond]

Laws so boring and stupid!! no offence anyone....anyone heard of Lord Denning?

 

[Muezzin]

Congratulations, sister Ummah.

Laws so boring and stupid!! no offence anyone....anyone heard of Lord Denning?

Who hasn't?

The guy was a legend. Tended to put his own personal opinions above the law, but what the heck, it was good when I agreed with certain of his decisions.

 

[Ummah]

well i respect lord denning coz he made reading textbooks interesting! i think he was a pretty cool dude u know

 

[Protected_Diamond]

Yeah even though he dissed black people towards the end of his career, he seems okay. :thumbs_up

 

[Encolpius]

That's why I want to go into intellectual property law. It's a tad more fair, methinks.

Intellectual property pwns. I did it in my second year at King's London in the form of two half modules - copyright in the first term, and trademarks/passing off in the second.

And I've heard of Lord Denning, the former Master of the Rolls as well. The man was so dedicated that he deliberately passed up a seat in the House of Lords in favour of sitting in judgement in the Court of Appeal, which, as you'll know, hears more cases and thus has a bigger effect on the evolution of the law.

Alas, I wish I could point out some great contemporary French jurists as well, but alas, it's a bit hard because in French courts, which judges were in the bench in each case isn't mentioned because it would compromise the impersonal ideal of the law whose majesty is paraded before the populace and comes to conclusions by handing down decisions based on logic for the most part and reported in a terse, unfriendly style which insists that every decision is reported in one sentence with lots of occurrences of the conjunction, "Attendu que" or "whereas."

Yes, folks, I'm doing a law degree as well. Even though I look nothing whatsoever like the average law student. I've hair down to that irritating bit of my back that people just can't quite scratch, a selection of increasingly lurid band shirts, several pairs of what my father refers to as "jackboots", and a belt made out of dead bullets all strung together. And a trenchcoat. But I digress. I would try and engage people here in a legal discussion but I'm in Paris and all my English law notes are on a different landmass, so...

 

[Muezzin]

Is French law more about getting to the truth of the matter, rather than the more adversarial legal proceedings of the US and UK?

Heh, there were a couple of French foreign students doing part of their degree while I went to uni. Cool guys.

P.s. Copyright is awesome. Trade marks frazzle my Looney Tune brain somewhat, though I do like design rights.
