I've been in the advertising industry for a year plus, and I bloody hate it. So I decided to change career paths (I'm 23) and taking International Baccalaureate Diploma Program and fast-track myself to a UK-based law degree.

But I keep dengar that Malaysia is saturated with lawyers, and banyak lawyers end up with different jobs. So apa citer, susah ke nak jadi loya in Malaysia?

Whatever you have, lay it on me.

EDIT: Sorry, forgot to mention UK Transfer Law Programmes. Any difference between this and a normal LLB? UKT programmes seem to be faster, but any disadvantages?

Useless. But it would be useful when you planned to migrate to Australia or UK in the future.

seifralmacy

becoming a lawyer now in Malaysia means to become another person to share in a pie that does not expand in size for god knows how long

Knowledge wise-yes...
Practicality-i think you need to take malaysian based paper to make u qualify to practice in malaysia...
Join gomen la...fill spa with all legal, law, ptd...pegawai imigresen la..kastam la...u might want to join industry with the international law...bank for example as legal advisor, amla officer but of course u still need to take malaysian law paper too...
Most of the law come from british and american but in malaysia, we accustomed it to fit the local needs and environment...

Maybe can summon established lawyer in /k

still better than a US degree..

ni mesti BAC punya standard. low keras

I'm entering my third year of LLB (Lond.). I'm just gonna park here and see everyone making inaccurate statements.

Common law,,ofc

Explain la abam...someone needs help...and we at /k can top up our knowledge too

account exec? or creative? why hate it?

Creative team, writer.

It's a real dog eat dog world, but then again, what isn't?

Everyone suka tikam belakang.

One moment you're exchanging kisses and sleeping with them, the next they tikam you in the back. what the actual fucuk.

deii you have to take CLP to be eligible to do chambering... and to qualify for CLP you need to get at least lower 2nd class .. and make sure you double check if your deg is recognise or not... BTW they will change the CLP system soon

i think you need to take CLP after finish study...
no problem to be a lawyer..

Waste your time and money lah. Apparently only syariah law is important now.

doing clp now with a 2:2 uol llb with a full time job.

susah?
40% clp pass rate.
if u did 1st year of your llb and feel like damn, why so difficult and so burdensome with all the case law and statute and articles and judges comment and dissenting and assenting judgement and law report and amendment of new act and hanzard and law gazette comment.

then clp is like 10 times of your 1st year llb which only need to pass 4x40 compulsory subjects.
imagine that.

work prospects?
thanks to those exempted CLP Uni, especially UITM and MMU, the field is congested with half pass six lawyers who tend to do only conveyancing. Litigation lawyers still kind of in demand.

syariah coming too, so expect to learn a few about hudud and syariah law.
plus point recent decision from KL high court, non muslim can practice islamic law.
but who know how long it last, u know, malaysian racist based govt, especially those in prime minister dept, are full blunt bullshitter.

anyhow. welcome.

The LLB would just a be another degree and you don't have to practise if don't feel like it. Only about half of those graduated end up practising whilst other became journalist @ TheStar, lecturer, insurance and others non related.
What is your first degree may I ask.

I was sort of an idiot when I was 18, took a 3 year diploma in Multimedia Design. Then, 1 year full time job. While I did enjoy the work, I hated the environment. Memang not worth it. I minat law last time, but idiotic 18-year-old-me memang bodoh.

I'm looking at UK Transfer Programmes, not sure what's the difference with normal 3-year LLBs. Diluted syllabus? Please elaborate.
