Did anybody read THE ADVERTISER (http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/) the
section by Brian O'Connor? Apparently he's from the Adelaide
University, and he says that these days Universities are a thing of
the past. I couldn't agree anymore. These days, all you do is you go
through the various different laws and you learn it by rote.
Furthermore, you're allowed to bring in as many notes as you like so
you can basically summarize the law.

In the article, I found it interesting since he is in fact a Law/Arts
students and he takes the perspective that whereas once you had to get
information from an old daggy lecturer, these days, you can get this
information off the Internet.

What do others think?

Actually, probably one of the more shocking examples. Look at what I
found regarding this Rosemary Owens and Paul person:
http://oldvsnewlawdean.wordpress.com/2008/09/30/university-of-adelaide-old-law-dean-vs-new-law-dean/

Anybody heard of her in the field?

Looks like a political fight occurred there. Nevertheless, found the
article interesting.
