Failing Law

You can hide this advertisement by registering.
Alrite. I'm messing up my law units pretty bad. Barely passing torts and keep failing my intro to law assignments. However, I'm killing my commerce units and on my way to getting D's and HDs'.
So my question is, can I still be competitive for employment in mid-tier law firms upon graduation and on completion of my first year, average out to a C with hectic commerce marks but low passing law marks so that I can transfer for UMAQ or UTS?

Re: Failing Law

most students find it takes them a while to settle into the law units, its a different style of writing and thinking, you will most likely find your marks will improve next year. Good luck!

Re: Failing Law

Hey Melsc, what sort of average did you need to transfer to MAQ?
Am quite interested in this.

Re: Failing Law

My average was 5.125 (basically a credit average with one HD thrown in) and a UAI of 94.0

Re: Failing Law

Like melsc said you will get use to the style of writing/assessments in law. I remember back in first year I thought intro to law was extremely hard as well lol... it gets much better in later years.

Basically a C avg in uws law will guarantee entry in mac law at least. Heaps of my friends have done this and their uais were much lower than mel's.
