WTO Law Moot – Break from blogging

Fantastic news! I was recently accepted into the University of Melbourne 2008 WTO Moot Court team! What that means is that we’ve been given a hypothetical problem based around GATS and international trade law and we’ve got to do some written and oral submissions in January and March respectively.

What is also means is that for the next few weeks blogging is not the highest priority so expect less long posts and probably the same amount of miniposts. I’m throwing around some ideas about a post on WTO law so we’ll see what happens.

In the meantime I’ll leave you with a quote I found a few days ago which I found very inspiring:

The law perverted! And along with it all the collective forces of the nation! The law, I say, not only turned aside from its proper end, but made to pursue a directly contrary end! The law become the instrument, instead of the restrainer, of all kinds of cupidity! The law itself perpetrating the very iniquity that it is its function to punish! Certainly, if this is so, it is a serious matter, to which I should be allowed to call the attention of my fellow citizens. (Frédéric Bastiat, 1848)
