one list from one law firm doesn't do enough to sway my opinion!

How many people do law at each of UTS/UNSW/USYD/ANU??? The size of the faculty could play a major factor.
Also, maybe more people at UTS choose to pursue the other half of their degree.... instead of offering just arts/law, at uts they have communications/law and a lot of people do law to make them more employable in the media industry, not to become lawyers.....
These lists don't mean an awful lot really....

its not the point tim... MAYBE uts graduates DON'T want to go to big firms...
MAYBE they're actually altruistic individuals who want to do pro-bono work in community legal centres or they prefer sole tradership. Or they might be full owning ass as barristers or justices
big firms are not the be-all and end-all of the legal profession.

omg THANK YOU! that is exactly what i was going to say, because i really think thats exactly the point that tim was missing when he started producing lists of lawyers from random 'Big Firms' as if it was actually relevant.Originally posted by Frigid

i dont even plan on practising law if i stick with that part of my degree! and i know a few other students who are the same. if i do ever practise, it would be in exactly the way frigey here has just described - personally, tho i know i'm probably an exception, i'd never want to work at one of those 'Big Firms', and if that's a benchmark for success as a law student, then that's pretty depressing.

...spinspinsugar, above, is a prime example of a non-big-firm-obsessed law student, the type of independent, hardworking and practical individual for which the University of Technology, Sydney is renowned.
cheers to grace for being the cool law chick she is

Back on topic, the combination of Law with International Studies (both here and UNSW) has excellent implications in the fields of International (Corporate, Humanitarian and Diplomatic) Legal fields, as well as culturally-sensitive areas and really anything else that involves one or both of these disciplines. In my opinion International Studies is far more relevant to Law than your generic Arts degree (in history or some other junk).

Unless he wants to do Arts(industrial relations)/Laws, or something equavilent, which is still useful. Depends what Ziff wants at the end.

I'd prefer communications over int stds in any case because it offers an alternate career path or a combination of skills with your law degree that you can use in other industries, ie. media. Therefore, allowing greater flexibility.
You can learn a language (and get accredited for it) and live overseas yourself instead of doing Int Stds. I considered Int Stds and opted for communications instead simply because the faculty advisor i spoke to couldn't directly answer my questions as to whether int stds actually opens any particular doors to you.
That said, if you have a strong interest, it still is a worthy combo with Law.
Edit: OHH I just realised you were talking about B Arts with Law. And yeah, I agree, B Arts is pointless

Why Tenax, have you re-changed your mind about communications again? I thought you were considering Business?

Business would be too bland for someone like me who was fascinated by humanities.
I'm definitely sticking to communications... my dilemma now is whether or not I want to transfer from Pub Comm. to Journalism.
That said, I still think Communications supercedes a generic Arts degree.
Keep up with me santa!!
