Yes it was cute. But when people search for threads already on the topic, it will be easier for them to find this discussion under the current thread title.

Electives range in difficulty. In general I have found that they are not more and not less difficult than core subjects. That said, clearly some core subjects are more difficult than others -- such as property and equity. As to taking electives that rely on knowledge developed in core subjects...

Please avoid posting silly assertions without some justification. We don't want to confuse people.

Well, I don't know about the best in the country. That's a very difficult thing to measure. But as far as I understand it, the University of Melbourne is a fantastic university and has a very high reputation for law. (Indeed it was attended by Australia's greatest jurist, Sir Owen Dixon!) But...

I meant distinction average law WAM. This isn't some concrete cut-off which if you don't meet you won't get into a large commercial firm -- it's just a milestone which I think one should aim for to be competitive. There are of course other factors.

A pass for any law subject is pretty bad, but simply because you get a pass (even for 'Contracts A') doesn't write off your chances. It's not too good, but they aren't going to just throw your application in the bin. The same goes for legal introductory subjects. Overall marks are more...

Suspicion might also arise by virtue of the fact that it was published by the Telegraph...

Keep it civilised please.

You can't really go wrong with either. Perhaps considering your Arts interests USyd might be the better choice for you. Also, you might like to go and visit each campus to get a feel for the atmosphere, if you haven't done so already.

Both - USyd and UNSW are roughly equal first in terms of law school reputation in NSW. - Both will provide you with excellent employment opportunities, and both universities are very competitive at the top-tier firm level. - Both will provide you with brand new law buildings, although USyd is...
