Bored? Here Are Some "Time-Spenders"

So the new school term has started, not too stressed up with studies, not sure what to do? Why not pick up one of the events below to burn away your time.

-------------------------------------

"""""Law Advocacy 2009 registration will commence on the first day of the school term (Monday, 19 October). All interested parties are required to collect a registration form at Mrs Regina Charles’s in-tray at room 06-10. 

Law Advocacy is an annual competition that allows students to experience and partake firsthand the trials and tribulations of a court session. Participants would be exposed to a tort or criminal law scenario, where they would act as either the Prosecution or the Defence to match wits in a battle of words. The Mock trials and realistic court scenarios re-enacted in this competition will serve to greatly enhance your learning experience. Furthermore, your participation in this event will give you a leg-up over your peers with regards to your Résumé.

Lawyers from prestigious law firms will be invited to adjudicate the proceedings of the finals, where perhaps in time to come; their impression on your performance might help you on your way towards legal superstardom in the future. Furthermore, if you are victorious in this competition, your legacy would forever be etched in the TP Law & Management Law Advocacy Plaque and more. Everyone is encouraged to participate in this exciting prospect, where every participant would be awarded a certificate and the opportunity to apply what they have learnt from the classroom.

The deadline for the submission of registration forms would be on the Wednesday 28rd October 2009, 6pm instead of the date announced earlier. Each team should comprise of 2 students, both of which can be from either year 1 or 2. Late submissions will not be entertained if the maximum number of registered teams has been reached

There will be a registration fee of $5 for each team. Payments will be collected at a later date shortly following the registration.
