I'm not entirely sure whether you'd really need eu law to qualify for the btpc programme (no offence i took it a few years ago, things may have changed since then) so you probably have to do some homework and be sure on that..

What do you mean exactly by 'big company'? A legal firm or just any big nonlegal company? Tbh your question is a bit subjective (though the general mindset may say commercial law>family law).. Different law firms may apply different considerations on the modules taken during your degree.. Even one who's never taken family law during his/her degree years can still excel later on in family law practice (working).. No wrong or right answer here..

And i really don't get the 'mindset' of thinking that clp is harder than other bars.. If you look at the stats (instead of hearsay), you'll notice the passing rate is more or less the same (remember the entry level for both exams are quite different..) not to say the bar is more 'high class' though.. Cause if you're gonna practice in msia, they are a stepping stone to legal practice.. That's all..

This.

If that's the case, then these are very good options too. Tbh, the criteria as to the selection of law graduates by the employers are very subjective, and you don't necessarily have to be the top of your class just to be able to secure a chambering position with a top law firm (though you are essentially expected to at least obtain a certain competent level of academic achievement if you want to be considered by the better firms for hiring). I've friends who graduated from the two mentioned universities working (not chambering) with top tier firms in KL, and no, they were not first class achievers. Neither were they from the selected few publicly perceived top quality unis. At the end of the day, your work ethics and work quality are most important in the eyes of your employer.
