Another month almost done, March! And yes, I am still on my "read a book a month" tip and I am gladly winning. Though I managed to finish earlier due to the lock-down, I am very happy I chose to read "The Rules of Wealth" by Richard Templar in the first quarter of the year. In this book, Richard shares 117 rules pertaining to how we see, use, value and relate with money. I feel empowered now to start creating real wealth for myself. With so many good rules listed and explained in the book, I will share my favourite ones which I was highlighting as I read along:
I love how Richard believes in working hard and smart as opposed to the many get-rich-quick schemes that get advertised these days. He makes the journey to wealth personal and enriching, and he strongly encourages giving back as part of the process. Thank you Richard for telling me to be serious, quirky, vigilant, awake, attractive and hungry. I'm officially ready to start creating my empire. A much recommended read!

This especially applies when choosing work you love and starting on your own. Based on your preferences for working alone, with one partner, or in a team of multiple people, you can choose a project to love what you do and do it the way you want.
Some people expect help, loans, and charity as they grow rich. You should know and set some rules and not hesitate to say No if the request does not convince you. You may consider reading the book The Art of Saying NO for ideas on how to say no gracefully.
I was very pleased to discover this site. I wanted to thank you for your time for this particularly fantastic read!! I definitely liked every part of it and i also have you saved to fav to check out new things on your blog.
The author is a medical practitioner who holds a law degree. He is anassociate professor of Forensic Medicine at Monash Universityand deputydirector of the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine. Thus he is eminentlyqualified to write this book.
students who anticipate giving expert evidence in legal proceedings on aregular basis. It is not a diagnostic text of conditionsthat medicalpractitioners encounter and give evidence about. The objective of the book, asstated in its preface, is to pro-videgeneral background material on the aspectsof the law that most affect the practice of forensic medicine and to pro-videguidanceon some of the major tasks that are required of forensic medicalpractitioners. It achieves its objective admirably and goes someway further inthat medicos in their forensic practice might find it beneficial to elevate the"guidance" provided to the statusof rules that should be followed in thenormal course.
Chapter 1 is entitled "The Legal System" and Chapter 3 "Court Procedure andEvidence". These chapters provide a succinct outlineof the court systemand process. Even law students may find that they gain a better basicunderstanding of the way the legal systemoperates by reading the 32 pages inthese chapters than by digesting more voluminous material on the samesubject.
Chapter 4, entitled "The Medical Witness", deals with preparation forgiving evidence, demeanour as a witness and the presentationof evidence.Litigation lawyerswill applaud its emphasis on the appearance of thewitness and the manner in which the witnessgives evidence, given thatappearance and presentation may be as significant to the outcome of a case asthe actual evidence thewitness gives.
Although the focus of the book is on medical practitioners, Chapters 1, 3 and4 would be useful to other professionals who anticipategiving expert evidence.The specific guidance provided in Chapter 4 can be adapted to expert witnessesin other fields.
The book does not address topical forensic issues, nor does it refer to caselaw or legislation in those areas. Consequently lawyerswho grapple with thoseissues will not find assistance in the book. This is not meant to be a criticismas that is not the book'sobjective.
This collection of articles focuses on the previously unacknowledged role ofwomen in the making of the Australian Constitutionand on the ways inwhich the Constitution itself has affected the nature and extent ofparticipation by women in the formalprocesses of legislating andgoverning.
The idea for the book emerged from a conference, 'Women and Federation", heldin 1994 in Hay, the NSW town where the recently rediscoveredWomen's FederalLeague was established in 1899. The contributors to this volume are mostlyhistorians and constitutionallawyers, and the book is a tribute to thenew perspectives such cross-fertilisation of the disciplines can produce.
Given the intrinsic interest of this book and the interaction betweenhistorians and lawyers that gave rise to its publication, itis a pity thatthere is no introductory or concluding chapter that links some of theconclusions and draws attention to avenues forfurther research. One possibilitythat springs to mind is to link the largely peripheral role of women inthe writing of theConstitution, as well as the problem of the grossunder-representation of women in a legislative system based on the principle ofrepresentativedemocracy, with the eager and widespread participation of womenin diverse extraparliamentary political pressure groups such as theAustralianWomen's National League, the Women's Christian Temperance Union, theCountry Women's Association andthe Housewives' Associations. Was it thatwomen felt welcome and empowered in these organisations whereas theywere madeto feel alien, uncomfortable and ineffectual in the halls ofParliament?
As Pat Grimshaw's chapter so clearly indicates, this experience of ostracismand belated inclusion as citizens has even greater relevancefor the politicalresponses of Aborigines in the wake of their specific exclusion from the mostbasic right of citizenship, the vote- an exclusion that, ironically but quiteconsciously, was made law in the very Act that gave all white Australian womenthe franchisefor the commonwealth legislature in 1902. The issue of gender inthe Constitution was thus fractured by race from the very beginning. Althoughthese matters could well have been explicitly raised and discussedby theeditor of this volume, it is a tribute to her and to the othercontributors that the quality of their discussion hasbrought old debatesto life and provoked timely new questions.
The book deals with the three criminal code jurisdictions, Queensland,Western Australia and the Northern Territory; Tasmania andNew Zealand, wherethe criminal law is codified but common law defences are retained; and theremaining Australian jurisdictionswhere common law defences have been retainedbut still have differences between themselves. No wonder there is a call forgreateruniformity in criminal law among the states and territories! Notonly does that suggestion seem to me to be eminently reasonable,it would makethe book somewhat easier to read without the constant reference to eachindividual state or territory's differences.
The text looks at fifteen areas of defence from, for example, mistake offact, through necessity, self-defence and intoxication todiminishedresponsibility. It is a good starting point for any legal defence to a criminalprosecution. The test is to use it toprepare a defence, which is exactly what Idid in relation to one of my current matters.
Chapter 4 is headed "Claim of Right", and that was a defence I wanted toexplore. This chapter was sufficient as a starting pointbut to my mind tooacademic in its approach. For instance, one of the most important aspects tothis defence is, in my view, thefact that the accused's belief as to his or herentitlement to the property taken is all that is required to beestablished.It is not necessary that the accused must believe he or sheis legally entitled to take the property in the manner they did. TheSA decisionof Langham is referred to, however a more recent and very good decision of theSA Supreme Court is not. That decision,Noble v Police [1994] SASC 4366; (1994) 70 A Crim R 560,is further clear authority for that proposition and details the basis on whichthe defence can be run. In my experience this isthe crucial area to look at forsuch a defence of claim of right.
