To the OP -

What do you want to do with your law degree?

What kind of student would you say you are? i.e. committed, lazy, self motivated, reliant on peer pressure and competition etc?

What modes/types of learning are you more suited to?

Are you aiming for/do you need to rely on scholarships?

Where do you live and will you need to work more than 2 or so days a week?


These questions are integral to any comparative view of which uni you are more suited to.




Some points too that may be of interest that you may not be aware of, including some relatively recent/soon to be implemented developments at UWS:

* We are told that the Clinical Placement unit (which involves 10 days at Parra Justice Precinct's legal centre, 10 days which can be deducted from your PLT placement which is a big plus) will become compulsory.

* Ex-justice Kirby is now an adjunct Professor

* Course structure has recently been reviewed and now you address the main 'ethics' unit early in the degree.

* UWS has fully operational 'moot courts' that you will more or less work with on a weekly basis in the skills units in the later stages of the degree.

* There is now an Honours Research unit that students undertake in order to attain their honours, rather than it being awarded on marks alone as in the past.

* There are a broader range of electives being offered (in my opinion) than in the past

* The coordinator of the prac related programs in the law school mentioned an intention for much of the practical related components of the degree to be run out of the parra justice precinct legal centre
