Can anyone pls share available scholarships for llb students?

Btw, my results for As are considerably average. 2c. Going for A2 exams this two months. Pretty discouraged by my results. Advice for possible universities? Among my targets include nus and taylors.

Damn its hard to score LLB subjects here in UM . Everybody aims for "pass" only . Haha

Hi guys. I'm a matriculation student who recently got called for an interview to study law at UM. Has anyone here gone through the same interview? I'd like some guidance on how to prepare for it. Thanks.

Get a waiver from the university itself, if possible.

If your results are decent enough, they won't really mind.

Izzit that tough?

Or are the students plain incompetent?

Just be yourself, and explain what you think is right.

Don't bother pretending someone you are not.

Generally, do research on recent litigation cases/important changes to the laws and etc, and do some general reading.

You're likely good to go.

Thanks for the advice. Btw, could u recommend any websites which contain litigation cases/important changes to the law??
Cheers.

Google is your best friend hahahahaha.

Sorry if I'm harsh but I'm really against spoon-feeding nowadays, since when you are a lawyer, people won't bother to feed you with anything but BS

For start, read the Malaysian Constitution and check out the latest laws and subsections. Others, you can think of it yourself

Haha. Well it was worth a shot asking I guess. Thanks for the extra advice though.

Hi anyone can teach me how to calculate GPA for law paper?

My username should be very familiar to most(ALL!!) law students.

Hi. I am planning to take a level for law in ATC next month. But i have no idea that I should take 3 sub or 4sub. Is there any difference or effect? Scholarship and etc.... Is that hard to get 3.5 and above in A level?

Just a word of caution from a future enrolling Law student.

ATC's has many issues, if not millions.

BAC would be a better option. Try asking some alumni's bout it. I won't divulge further.

Regarding A-level, take the amount of subjects you are comfortable with..

Ok. Thanks... But the amount of subject won't affect much? Like three sub is better than four sub?

Hi sorry if this has been asked.. Normally what is the job scope for paralegal?
And what kind of interview will they conduct? What type of questions will be ask?
To anyone who have gone through this can give some advice.

I'm currently completed my final year of degree. So while waiting for result I was thinking to find myself a job in a firm for few months.
As I notice most internships are only for weeks, so don't think will go for internship.

Can someone tell me more about paralegal.

Is University of Wolverhampton(UK) recognized for CLP exams by he LPQB board in Malaysia? because It isn't in the list of qualified and recognized law degree from the UK for the purpose of CLP exams by LPQB, just curious.

I did my Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia, followed by UOL Diploma in Law, then moved on to the 2nd Year of my LLB upon passing the UOL Diploma in Law, and now I have completed my LLB Degree from the UK. It took me a year to complete the UOL Diploma in Law followed by a year for my LLB 2nd Year and then a year for my LLB 3rd final year. I have also done the required LAN MQA Mata Pelajaran Wajib subjects locally in Malaysia. Is it possible for me to qualify to sit for the CLP exams? I am a Malaysian.

Thank You

Anyone studying law degree at INTI? How is the teaching quality? Among BAC, HELP and INTI, which school should I choose? Which is better?

Thank you for sharing

BAC should be the clear choice no?



So many BAC students here such as thecagedbird and etc.

Do anyone have sample of resume and cover letter which can be use for reference? Can show it to me.

I did an attachment with one of the bigger law firms in KL during my sem break in first year - IINM, most law firms do take in first year students for attachment programs, it's just a matter of sending in your CV and expressing interest in learning Min duration varies from a couple of weeks to a month, confirm with the respective firm. Some are quite flexible with the dates as well.

As an attachment student, you'll most likely be asked to do some basic research, draft some letters, follow a superior to watch court proceedings, etc. Again, it's up to the firm on the program they have outlined for attachments. But it's nothing too heavy, as long as you are familiar with online research databases.


Even the lecturers themselves have admitted that the marking system is strict, as compared to other universities. The syllabus itself isn't something that tough (as long as you keep up with classwork and required reading), but the examiners are really looking for something beyond that - they need answers to really reflect critical thinking skills and independent thought - which yeah, isn't something products of the local education system are exactly well known for So it cuts both ways...

From your reply, I'll assume that the students are incompetent till proven otherwise then.

UM is definitely not known for strict markings system. More like hypocritical marking system, where marks are lowered to allow more passes and less A's instead.

I've met a lot of students from UM doing various majors and most of them manage to come to this conclusion too

Either way, as long as they are competent to practice law in the near future, that's good enough.

Don't know if this is the suitable thread but here goes:

I will be graduating soon (in 1 year) with a LLB degree (MMU).

I am starting to consider working in Singapore but i heard that there isn't much career advancement.

Anyone knowledgeable enough to shed some light on this question? Salary and position wise, in particular.

Or would you recommend me to just work in Malaysia instead?

Any reply is much appreciated, thanks in advance =).
