True rankings are based on research output. It does however have something to do with study- if the uni is on cutting-edge research, they can teach that to their students.

USyd in better in law in terms of prestige. I'm going to UNSW but I'll still admit that openly. You are correct that it doesn't have much to do with teaching BUT it does have an influence on jobs. UNSW and USyd however are both good law schools so you'd be fine either way. Going to UWS however would be much, much harder to get a job in the competitive law market
Wisest man on BOS.

Maybe 5 years ago, but I don't think so anymore...I thought they're like on par now?
But everything else is correct!

I've heard the opposite from people in legal recruitment. USYD is marginally > UNSW and then all the other universities are miles behind those two.

USYD and UNSW both have great law faculties and heads and shoulders above every other new south wales university for law. Global rankings suggest USYD is better but both are in the top 30 in the world so you really cant go wrong with either.

USYD law is marginally better than UNSW, because it's been around longer haha and is internationally renowned
