Regarding the first point, I would say that, if you want a legal job in your first year (where these positions are definitely on the rarer side), connections will help. E.g. Someone's uncle owns a small law firm, and that person gets a paralegal job there. Regarding the second point, a tip I...

No problem. I will provide some high-level answers first and, if you need more specific detail, please feel free to ask further questions. 1. Job opportunities - Generally, I would say there are fewer legal job opportunities in your early years of law school. Assuming, for example, you are...

Hi All Congratulations to the HSC Class of 2022 on finishing your exams! Some of you may be interested in pursuing a law degree at university and perhaps even becoming a lawyer one day. Want to hear it straight from the horse’s mouth about what that might look like? By way of background...

Hi I’m currently a junior lawyer at a mid-tier commercial law firm. I know people who work at the top tiers (Big 6/Top 8 firms) and I also have worked with commercial law barristers and have an idea as to their educational background. Here’s my 2c. If you want to be competitive for summer...

I don't work in HR / recruitment but I currently work as a junior lawyer at a mid tier commercial law firm and, in my penultimate year, I went through the clerkship application and interview process for the top tier firms. I also know of people working at the top tier firms. When you refer to...

You can do a degree in Arts (political science major) and transfer to a combined degree of Arts and Law in your second year - this will depend on your first year results. Yes, you can apply for a JD (postgrad degree) after completion of Arts (your undergraduate degree).

Finally joined the Haikyu fandom. My most favourite scene in the anime so far.

Not sure about the BA/LLB at USYD but, at UNSW, you can still graduate within 5 years if you transfer into BA/LLB after 1 year of doing a BA (if you transfer any time after 1 year, it might take longer). Also, as someone who is finishing off a combined LLB, I would say that it is not uncommon...

I don't know if I should take the offer or not- I want to become a management consultant but at the same time, I've always wanted to do law. So I'm going to make the assumption that your career goal of being a management consultant is more important than your desire to do a law degree (because...

T2 LAWS2384 Legal Experimentalism............89 HD T2 LAWS3070 International Investment Law.....77 DN T2 LAWS3248 Intellectual Property 2..........76 DN T2 MARK2051 Consumer Behaviour...............85 HD What a great way to end my degree :')

Are accounting cadetships actually worth it? I know they give valuable experience but it would take me an extra two years to complete uni if I was to do one. Whether a cadetship is 'worth it' really depends on what your goals are. If you're looking to get into forensic accounting, I'd think...

Re: ✨✨2019 HSC Students Discussion Thread✨✨ Note that UNSW Combined Law doesn't have the fixed ATAR requirement anymore since the introduction of LAT. The 99.5+ requirement applies to USYD's Combined Law degree. And if you're actually interested in doing Commerce/Law at UNSW, do give the LAT...

Since results will be released in 2 weeks, you will probably be able to see changes to your WAM via ‘stream declaration’ on MyUNSW in about 1 week or so. As a potential graduand, the stream declaration trick doesn’t work for me anymore :(

Release of results (according to UNSW website): Wednesday, 5 December 2018 - 9:00am 9am Sydney time to student email accounts, 6pm Sydney time to myUNSW As per usual, you should receive your results via your student email the evening before (in this case, Tuesday 4 December 2018).

I did 12 units including Extension 2 (4U) maths back in Year 12 as well. I'd say that I spent 40% of my time max on 3U + 4U combined, and it worked out well for me because I was doing great in my other subjects (still scraped the highest band for both courses and I knew that 3U + 4U would align...

In my final year of a combined Commerce/Law degree. 1. why did you choose law? I initially saw Commerce as my primary degree and Law as my 'complementary' degree so to speak. Always wanted to do combined Commerce (loved Economics and Business Studies in high school but did not do Legal...

Yes, and even so if your idea of 'entering the profession' is simply 'can I score a summer clerkship and graduate position at a big commercial law firm?'. Even if it's not common, there definitely have been UOW alumni at top-tier and mid-tier commercial law firms. There's obviously other...

If you're like a UTS BAcc Co-op scholar who's interned at multiple accounting/banking firms, for example, your value is definitely up there. FMAA is more of a finance/banking society. If we're talking about management consulting, UNSW probably has the most consulting societies (UCC, 180D...

You probably won't need anything for Law besides your textbooks and your laptop (and pens + paper if you like to handwrite). Then chuck in a calculator for ACTL.
