UNSW, University of Melbourne, and University of Monash aren't bad, too.

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.

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.

I thought that Frigid and I civilly chased people like both of you away a long time ago. There are always more seventeen year olds ready to jump out of the woodwork though and rank law schools based on UAI cutoffs.

UWS and UoW kids, start your flaming.
