got the news that i was NOT selected for either the Hong Kong, or Vienna, Vis Moot team for Uni.

Hmmm. 4 girls were selected; all of them definately qualified to go. Two of them however, who are the top law students in our year pretty much, and have been on student Law Society, and have had numerous summer clerkships at the TOP law firms in Australia… etc etc (catch my drift?), do NOT need to have gone in for the overseas oral competition. Their legal careers are already guaranteed!
It is the people who could not get even 1 interview for a summer clerkship, or ever been selected for anything else at Uni, that just MIGHT have needed something like this on their Resume – to try and get a job one day.

And as for the University. Feedback was “all of you were high enough standard to go and compete”. *cold comfort*

So, yes… I am bloody pissed off.
