On MMU's CLP Exemption; yes, it's a qualified exemption that undergoes a review every 2 years or so.

Also, MMU grads have to take an additional professional course to cover a few papers after graduating.

On competency, I think the grads are like any other grads, some good, some average, some just terribad. We may be rated last when it comes to hiring though probably due to the relatively youth of our degree and it is an open secret some firms and corp companies won't touch us with a 10 foot pole.

so how is UM grad, Australian LLB grad, or UK LLB grad compared to you guys? so many grads all around. you make it sounds like you're the unwanted child of the whole family sad.gif is it the problem of the university which is the awarding body for the LLB cert?

Anybody studying Law or has friends studying law in australia?

I received an unconditional offer for Monash Law...4 year LLB, recognized by Malaysian Bar. Ranked number 12 in the world for law.

Why is UK always the more popular destination to pursue a law degree? Is it because of the short duration of the degree?

I do not think it is the shorter duration which matters. In Malaysia, we incorporated and inherited many legal principles from the UK, hence, it eases the law students in Malaysia when they start practicing. I think it is just a matter of preference?

so either is okay right? I personally prefer australian method of teaching and the country itself. any advice, sir?

I'm currently in a dilemma whether to pursue CLP at BAC or ATC. I would like to hear from people who have done their clp course in either ATC or BAC. I really need advices from anyone of you who have done CLP or people who are familiar with the 2 colleges mentioned. TQVM

err, no, meant did eu law in case i change my mind. obviously, if money is not an issue, i would still recommend doing bptc over clp, even if you intend to do corporate. i forgot 80% of the things i learnt in clp within a few weeks from the exam.

how is BPTC different compared to CLP?

and which one would u choose, or advice to choose?

TQ in advance!

I did not do the BPTC nor did I really read much on it.

But my take is, if money is not a concern, do the bptc. exposure would be better, and it is practical knowledge. The clp is a pretty useless programme and not worth the stress. I have done ACCA and the UOL LLB, but the CLP is more stressful than either of them, imho. plus, if you do bptc, you will have the benefit of a stronger alumni, especially (i think) for Middle and Lincoln's in Malaysia...seem to have pretty good alumni here.

i see. thank you! where are you practicing now?

My friend just failed his CLP recently sad.gif

Yes, that is right. Decided accounting wasn't for me although I was already a full ACCA member at one point.
Practicing in a mid sized firm in KL. Wouldn't want to disclose my firm name here, although you could easily find that out.

Yes, the CLP is not easy because of the sheer bulk. Usually students fail not because it was difficult but usually because they just couldn't remember. If the LPQB could spread the exams over a lil longer period, with say 2 days in between each paper, the passing rates would be much better coz its 90% memory work.
*
actually, its due to the quota system as well sad.gif
20% pass rate. (I heard)

There was this law lecturer who answered the CLP exams using the same technique but only passed on the 3rd try. hahah. Not just the quota and hardwork, also based on a lil' bit of luck!

hopefully can
but for LLB i thought there is rule saying mature student can skip A level right?

If you already have a degree, most probably you can go for Law degree straight away.

Give LPQB (legal practice qualifying board) a call or visit their offices, they are very friendly, trust me.

here is their website/contact: http://www.lpqb.org.my/index.php?option=co...id=143&Itemid=3

just spend 3 minutes talking to the LPQB and you should be able to find out what your next moves should be.
