Hi guys! Am heading off to do a litigation internship at a good firm in Kuala Lumpur. It's for one month. I've asked a few friends what I should do to prepare. They've advised: 1. Research the Malaysian legal system - including courts etc. 2. Research a bit about the culture, ie...

Thank you PwarYuex and Merillem! I really appreciate your insight and guidance on this. So Leiden have some internal funding schemes in place? Maybe I can look up their website..and try to contact them? With DAAD, they don't have a scheme in place to fund this sadly. As for NUFFIC(the...

Anyone...?? Like, if you know of any organisations etc..?

*bump* So...no one?? Ah wells :(

G'day BOS'ers By way of introduction, I am a local penultimate year combined law student here in Sydney. I really need your advice, opinions and guidance on a matter I'm facing. I've found out from Netherlands(University of Leiden) that I got into their summer program to study...

Heya guys, Sorry I don't know who to ask, or where to check this info. Any idea? Do I need to apply for a work visa to work in London? if you can shed light on this i'd be grateful :) cheers

Oh god... *runs* Mandarin then..? lol I reckon I will decide by mid march and start learning..so I have til then to decide. And really it's for no particular reason other than pure interest, and maybe practicality with careers in future. China's history and culture is something I have always...

Fair enough. I'll try all the CL countries I can.

Cheers for all your thoughts so far. I'm still mulling it over. Both sound like good options. And I'm equally interested in both. In terms of ease, I think Japanese would be a good choice, at least it has set alphabets? Unlike Chinese...

Good ideas so far - thanks! And keep em comin :) Do you think I could contact the European Offices for clerkships @ Magic Circle firms? Or would that be a bit redundant because of Civil Jurisdiction? I was thinking I could try out for the more transactional/commercial areas of law if they asked...

Hi everyone, I'm trying to find some legal internship opportunities overseas - am hungry for some international experience. The market in Australia is so dry unless one follows the clerkship/graduate route. I am thinking about the following: Doing a legal internship with a firm in...

LMAO!! Well put, brother.

Okay, I've made a decision. Mandarin. I think it's going to be fucking hard, but I'm up for the challenge! Hmm...I think I'm going to have to find a community college or language school for it..or a private tutor perhaps? gumtree.com.au here I come!

Ideally I'd love to learn both really well, but that would be unrealistic for a guy who's only learnt Latin based languages(Italian & Spanish). So, am still weighing it up :) Japanese looks cooler for some reason..3 alphabets..travel in Japan..Japanese culture.. But then similar can be said...

Awesome! Keep your thoughts coming, it is helping me form a decision :) So far, Mandarin seems to be winning - based on what everyone has said. Seems to have much more scope..

Hi Tofuu, You've made some really good points, thanks for the tips mate! I'll have to do a toss up, like you said, based on which culture I'm more interested in :) thanks again

Hi guys, I know a few European languages, but I'd like to learn an Asian language. I already speak a South Asian language. I want to learn either Mandarin or Japanese, to challenge myself, explore one of the cultures through their literature, and learn the language at a conversational and...
