QUOTE(road_blocker @ Aug 23 2013, 03:38 PM) Usually BAC students will select evidence as their part 1 elective. Majority of your friends might do so, and if you are keen to have someone who can revise and study together with you, Evidence seems to be the choice. Besides, Evidence wasn't that difficult. After all, it really depends on your interest. Try to figure out what you want to pick for all four electives first, then you determine the sequence. |

QUOTE(ebony_my @ Aug 23 2013, 05:04 PM) Can someone enlighten me on the difference between CLP and the UK Bar? Will it be a total waste to practice in malaysia after being admitted to the Bar? And also please highlight the different route between these two. Thanks It is not a waste if you ask me. The experience cannot be measured in monetary terms. Of course it cost a lot more.Judging at the economic downturn now, it is rather difficult or close to impossible to secure a job there, so you will most likely come back after your BPTC. Higher salary? No. Better prospect? Maybe. Ultimately your attitude determines your altitude. If it is affordable(120-150k), then go for the experience. It is more practical, but bear in mind that you will have to learn all the Malaysia law again when you are back. |

QUOTE(ebony_my @ Aug 23 2013, 05:58 PM) How many subjects are there altogether for CLP and the duration? Would it be advisable to work whilst studying for CLP? 9 or 10. Not so sure. You can always check with those institutions.It really depends on your own capabilities. If you can cope then it's fine. It can be done. |

Agree with earlgrey. I just graduated from UOL. I must say your own efforts play the most vital role but guidance from lecturers are very cardinal too.
There are just certain principles that are so difficult to comprehend, and lecturers can help you out with it. |

QUOTE(kael90 @ Aug 24 2013, 12:42 AM) Hmmm...I thought so as well but then its just that i'm a lil worried of my current job now that probably restrict me to attend some of the classes and not be able to cope up. Unless the classes are really flexible. And I believe you guys did your own studies most of the time right rather than totally rely on lecturers notes/tips? Haha, I skipped quite a lot of classes actually. Not a morning guy, can't wake up for 9am or 10am classes.I would say my lecturers were really dedicated and helpful. One particular lecturer can spend with me another hour just to explain those parts that I did not understand. I credit my success to them. |

On a side note, who knows when UoL will send our official transcripts to Malaysia? Do I have to request for one or they will send it to me once I have completed my studies?

I was told that the certificate will be sent to Lembaga around December but I am quite clueless now as to its whereabouts. This post has been edited by sengyik90: Jan 20 2014, 03:53 AM |

QUOTE(sreeking @ Jan 21 2014, 09:19 PM) I completed my degree with UoL before I come to UK for BPTC. Hence the mess. My college said they will help me to apply for exemption but I will first need to pass them the official transcript once I receives them. |

How much will you pay a First Class graduate to mark your scripts? The marking will involves critical comments and some headlines for improvements.

QUOTE(pri83 @ Feb 6 2014, 03:07 PM) Happy Chinese New Year to friends who are celebrating! 1. 1 year? Of course you might need more if you fail your first attempt. I am interested in distant learning UOL since I have a baby girl to care for. Any friends here did this? The reason that I want to do law after graduated with a Bachelor of Science (8 years ago) is that I hope to secure a better income rather than just get a RM 3 k ++ with increment of RM 200 each year. Friends, do you mind sharing with me the following? 1. How long does it take usually to pass CLP after finish LLB? 2. Income range for a fresh lawyer then 3 years , 5 years and 10 years. ( I am in Kuantan)(If no info abt Kuantan market, what about KL Selangor) I like this thread and it helps me a lot while I am gathering info for further study. Thank you very much! 2. Big firms offer up to 3.5k for fresh lawyer. Increment can be more than 10% every year. For example, look at Thomas Phillips: http://www.thomasphilip.com.my/careers/remuneration |

QUOTE(alsree786 @ Feb 9 2014, 01:29 AM) I really don't agree with Messrs Thomas Philip's need to display their salary structure for associates on their website. Not very professional. And even though they may think the salary structure is high, the package is still lower than a few other KL/Selangor firms and quite pathetic in comparison to lawyers' salary in other common law countries like Singapore or UK (on a dollar to dollar basis, not converted). Dont see why they should be so proud of it. Well, no harm showing the price structure I guess. I have seen a few international firms displaying their price structure on their website too. |

QUOTE(minshuen @ Feb 10 2014, 03:04 PM) hey can anyone tell me whether qualifying as a solicitor in England and Wales makes one qualified to be called to the bar in Malaysia upon the completion of chambering?thank you in advance! Yes, provided you have completed your 2 years training contract in UK beforehand. I could be wrong. The difficulties involved in securing a training contract often deter students to go for BPTC instead of LPC. |

QUOTE(pri83 @ Feb 10 2014, 04:57 PM) Thank you for your reply! Does lawyer mean has to finish CLP and chambering? If I only finish LLB, can I work in law firm with the type of salary scale? If you have only done LLB, I suppose you can be a supporting staff in the firm. Of course, the salary will not be as lucrative(lawyer's salary are not lucrative to start with) as lawyers. Otherwise, who wants to sit for CLP. |
