Chambering student (ie CLP grad) can get as low as RM500

Fresh Lawyer average starting salary is RM2000 (if you ever though Lawyers earn a lot of salary then think again)

So RM1200 for para legal executive is already consider not bad wink.gif doh.gif

do you like publishing?
with law degree you can be a legal editor
local law books publishers are Sweet & Maxwell, CCH, CLJ, MLJ...
they offer reasonable pay

I was a legal editor for 3.5 years

my dear, you are not qualified to give advice till you get your PC (practice certificate)... sweat.gif

with a UK degree, your knowledge in Malaysian Law is like zero without CLP...
so, how to give legal advice leh?

if you intend to do corporate... then I guess Legal Executive at Legal Department of big corporation is the job you're looking for...

few months ago there was such a vacancy in Jusco... (they're constantly recruting for this position... look out for it if you're interested)

as you've seen from all these posts...
having a mere LL.B is just not enough!
even if you wanna skip CLP you'd still need to get some expertise in other fields
ie more studies... sweat.gif

company secretariat is a good idea
if you're determine to climb that ladder...
but you'd still need to get the cert...

so either way you'd still be forced to some further studies
no way to run sweat.gif
