Are you serious? Discrimination involves an assessment of the position (i.e. whether things could work out) as opposed to just an evaluation of whether you are qualified.

Hi 011, Sure, I agree with MoonlightSonata that the law component is the most important aspect if you want to practice law but I believe employers do place significant weight on the combined degree that you do at the recruitment stage as it reflects on your profile. Generally, the profile of...

I agree. Firms that advertise for seasonal clerkships generally seek those who are at least in their penultimate year of study. I think this is mainly due to two reasons: (a) you have completed the basic core subjects such as property and contract and (b) students are close to graduation (ripe...

Hi everyone, I don't mean to be a downer or anything but seeing as you're interested in the law, and possibly might pursue a career in law in the future, I thought I should advise some of you to stick with posting links and at most, quoting a line or two from the original article. What's far...

Thanks guys and girls! You're most welcome.

Not a problem, best of luck!

Hi everyone, Seeing as I believe everyone has put in their preferences for university, I will have a break from visiting the BOS law forums to answer questions. I have subscribed (to receive email notification) to the 'Answers about Law' thread in the University General -> Law forum so...

You won't need to provide footnotes to exam answers but it will be, as previously menioned, necessary to give citations (to authorities) to principles of law that you apply.

Hi there Mr Eazy, Yes, you get paid for post-doctoral research at university - significantly more than when you're a PhD student. Researchers in the country are paid quite well, keeping in mind that medical research is not a commercial industry. I don't believe they're paid as well as in...

Hi Mrdaviyang, The award of Honours in Law is based on your academic performance throughout your degree in relation to other graduates of that year and the allocated number of Honours awards by the Law School. If successful, you would graduate with a Bachelor of Laws (with Honours)...

That's very true and I think that applies to the other courses too.

That's right, an award of Honours is based on marks (regardless of how well you do on the Honours thesis) throughout your entire degree. I think this is the case with most 4-year degrees (4 years if you do it as a single degree), perhaps except for Engineering? This is distinct to an extra...

Hi Omnidragon, It's difficult to say whether a H2A (75-ish) average in Law will land people jobs. I'd say that it would certainly provide for a decent handful of interviews but I strongly agree that firms do look beyond marks for recruitment. I do know of people in my year who missed out on...

That's an interesting observation particularly as my personal experience with commerce/law graduates (new and old) has been the exact opposite. Whilst having a commerce degree is great, everyone has mentioned to me that not having done a commerce degree is not something to regret (excuse the...

No worries, best of luck!
