You can practise law with a LLB or B Laws that you get from, say, ANU (whose cutoff, in 2008, was 95), Wollongong University (90?), University of Western Sydney (~90), and several others, but many firms are tied up in the notion of 'prestige'.

Hey, but a law degree's a law degree, right?

If you don't make Sydney's two law schools, go to ANU. If you don't mind moving further away, go to Victoria/elsewhere.

Aren't there several combined law courses in Macquarie and UTS with cut off's around 90ish?

Yeah, USYD.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter where you obtain your Law degree from but if you're having difficulties on the criteria of universities, base your decision on what uni offers the best secondary degree that you are completing (Comm, Engo, Arts, International Studies etc etc).

without a shadow of a doubt, usyd. but if you're doing comm/law, you might go to unsw for the comm.

[theism]

wots all the bullshit then i got from UNSW Law information night,
when they were going the 'top 8 universities in australia',
and UNSW was one of the top for quality of teaching,
and they were saying how they have a new law building.

but USYD was making a new law building as well =]

[nicko1990]

wtf haha. who claims that. 'we're one of the top 8 unis in australia'. gee, that's totally awesome.

and yes they're ONE OF THE TOP, true, but i wouldn't say they were the top, not by a long shot.

The good universities guide recommends UNSW as the best but overall Sydney is more prestigous than UNSW mainly because it is the oldest law school. I think historicall speaking only Usyd graduates have become high court justices from our state but that said South Australia (the state not the Uni) hasn't ever had one either - this stat too is probably reflective of the fact that Syd has been around much longer.

USyd or UNSW are very hard to get into (but you can easily transfer) but give you the best prospects. I was told Syd model themselves on the english schools whereas UNSW is the American style of teaching. It depends what you want - if you want to work in a big firm you really need to go to UNSW or Syd but generally its more important how you do in your degree then where you do it as a MP and long time lawyer told me.

ANU has a cutoff of 95.5 and is a group of 8 uni and has a law course that is top quality even if it isnt as prestigous as Sydney or UNSW. Melbourne's JD can only be done as a post graduate course but any G8 unis would be good.

Personally I am going to UNSW because frankly they are paying me to go there. Without a Scholarship I probably would have tried to get into Sydney but ANU was a very real option. Also keep in mind that USyd is also more expensive to live at (about 2k a year more for college).
