is it fresh graduate? how is the performance? par-up with other graduates? thought MMU exemption of CLP is actually a qualified one..will be examined every 2 years..

shipping is rather niche,but O&G and arbitration is very prospective.especially the diploma in int arb,even the demand in malaysia not high,but numbers of certified arbitrators(MIARB) are around 35 persons only...

jst my 2 cents~

hard?
i used 9 months to finish the course,60 percents of my time working as part timer,only start study 3 months prior to exam...managed to get CCB.The thing is A-LEVEL is not like our usual exam in secondary school,it required a lot of critical analysis and thinking,and also it required a relatively high standard of english standard compared with secondary spm or pmr..

but it depends on what subject you took,rumours said that MATHS are easier,if u know chinese,you could take the chinese paper or chinese literature..(their standard is like primary school for me..=.=)..coz it doesn't matter what subject you took,as long as the result is up to the required for enrolling in degree..i took chinese,law and business studies~

since you are in this thread,implying you wanted to take LLB in future,LAW and english literature will be my recommended must take subject,coz A LEVEL law covered half of your first year subjects, and one of your second year subjects,even though it is just basic,but it could help a lot in understanding...ENG lit,why? coz it train you to read piles or piles of books,poem and increase your language level (implying you are a typical ordinary spm school leaver),having a good command in english really could ease your language barrier and burden a lot..i know coz i suffered and went through it by hardway...

I wanted to ask what can we do,if in a situation of passed LLB but still not yet finish CLP?
coz I am facing some financial constraint after finish LLB,and in need to gather some money to cover up my cost and expenses to study CLP,is it possible to full time working for one year and study back again CLP later? or better,working while studying?

From what advised from some of my senior,the only way to earn money with a single LLB cert is to became a lecturer,but subject to the result,only 2:1 and above is likely to be employed..other than that,the LLB without CLP is just a piece of plain paper with your name on it.. even worst if got 2:2 and below,it will be like a piece of toilet paper ...no offence,but that is what my seniors told me..

i could clear your doubt on this,some of my friends manage to get position as legal clerk,but i would say it highly depending on your social network...coz almost,99 percents of my friends got those position by ways of father's company,father's friend's company,and etc...in normal situation wise,i think it is possible but...unlikely...

coz malaysia law and uk/nz/aus law has huge differences in procedural...

yup,paralegal..pay i would quote chiahua reply,depends on how thick your cables are....if you could serve like karpal singh,probably you prospect is better than an ordinary lawyer..

for paralegal i think so,but not for lawyers..in my opinion,the strength of overseas law graduates is language,english especially and also quality or performance or way of analysis...the weakness will be sucks in BM and lack of knowledge in malaysia law procedure or vise versa if public graduates.Again this rather subjective,a person could possibly master both languages,and have wide ranges of legal knowledge...

Be in mind that,in malaysia lower court probably use malay as the main official language,so you could see a lot of chambee actually work as a translator in law firms when chambering..

no other options other than sponsors?....it is kinda hard thou,there are lots of graduate every year..working in HSBC for banking? are ur friend having other qualification rather than only LLB?

soft in the sense of less burdensome and relatively easier subject? dont think so,coz the pass rate is like 60-65 percents only..indeed,if you compare to LLB,there is for sure a huge gap of difference in the depth and wide of the syllabus..but certain topics in alvl actually covered up more than LLB,examples,like civil justice sytem of common law in LLB only cover small part of ADR,but in alvl there is a standalone chapter of it..

so i would say,alvl LAW could gave you a broad concept of what will be facing in LLB,its syllabus covered basic tort,contract,public and common...the only disadvantage is there will be a little bit boring when starting first year,coz everything is like dejavu,keep repeating...

however,for me it is more of a bane than a boon..

discouraged? why said so?

no matter which subject you took in your UOL, it simply doesn't matter except eu law. eu law not only allow you to do bptc but also exposed you to other codified legal system in most eu countries plus it helps you understand how those international treaty works. And it didn't deny your access to clp either.And their lengthy case law tend to helps on memorizing, especially when clp you need to remember full name of case instead of quoting "there was a settled decision" kind of bs. so it is always beneficial to do EU. the downside is if you intend to practice in malaysia, EU law is pretty useless.

commercial law in uol？ doesn't matter but simple expose maybe. agency,sogasa,international trading in malaysia is under different statute.
