guys I want to ask.. for a non law students.. is it fair to force them to study about the amendment of Federal Consitution?

Does anyone have any info regarding ATC Penang? Alumni, especially. I know this is highly subjective but it would be great if I got some input regarding lecturers and overall teaching quality.

I'll probably be doing my LLB there and I know ATC has a great reputation for Law, but I think what most people are implying the KL campus, not the Penang campus.

Of course. Knowing the highest law of the land is very important. All your rights as individuals are in there as well as to know what the govt can and cannot do

ring them up... or drop a visit at their campus...

I've found that not too much of people mentioning Nirwana college for its Pre Law A Level which only take 9 month to complete. Does it mean it was unpopular and the lecturer was kinda bad compared to other college ?

A level for nine months? means by the end of this year, the students can take the December test? :mega_shock:

Can you cope, thats the question. You think preparing in 9 months is really easy? You have to finish syllabus for a minimum of 3 subjects which consist of AS and A2 in about 7 months. Then revision for 2 months. I think your lecturer will try to spot questions and only ask you to focus on that, you would not complete the whole syllabus

that's a difficult thing you know, A-Levels in the UK are done throughout two years and in Malaysia people usually do it in 1.5 years and doing it in such a short time + doing AS and A2 at the same time will be difficult

Hey guys ,i'm new to this forum i just completed my SPM but my English got a B+ and 5C for 1119,so is it fits me for learning law or contrastly?if suits, what is the subject should i take in A-levels for pre-law?I'm from a science stream so since law is a art stream and some say its not worth to change to art stream if your science subjects are good(YES my Phy n Bio n Che are A,A,A+) so i need to understand it more well.
A-levels subjects :
Buisness studies
Economics
Accounting
English literature
Law
Mathematics

So,which subjects combination should fits more better for pursuing a law degree in A-levels?

Your kindly comment will be my motivation to choose what i need to choose. Thx

The first thing you have to know is that law does not have any pre-requisites. Like, you can take Physics, Chem, and Bio for A levels, and still be fully qualified to do law at university. In short, it doesn't matter the least what subjects you take at A Levels. Your English is a little worrying, especially since law is, well, pretty heavy on the English, and I'm afraid you won't fare so well as regards understanding and writing.

So my advice would be to take the three subjects you're best at + law at A levels, to see if you can cope/if you like it/whether you're going to be good at it or not. And if you aren't, you will have your sciences' 3As to back you up and still make you a great choice for any course. Keep in mind though that some courses require Maths, but since you're really interested in law, I'd say either switch one of your sciences for a maths, or just go through with it.

Asking on behalf of my bro who is interested in studying law. Did not fare too well in SPM but enough to enter college. I wanna find out which pre-law degree prog wuld b the most suited for him, as he is strongest in his language subs and just getting credits on the science and maths subjects.

So far the choice known to me are diploma, foundation, stpm, a-levels, matriculation, IB. Its a stereotype that for most ppl intending to study law, a-levels is the way. However I did A-levels and I barely survived it. Currently studying engineering. From what I've noticed he may not be the booksmart type of student, n has had trouble coping in high sch (thus the SPM results).

Any advice on this guys? thanks!

I heard that law in A-levels subject are not important for law degree and its not necessary to take it.So its it rteal or not? Correct me if i'm wrong~~

it's absolutely not needed to get in a law degree since it's not a pre-requisite.

So what is the pros and cons of taking law subjects in A-levels ? Any comment will be appreciate

Well, you'll be covering the English Legal System, Contract, and Tort so I guess you would be exposed to it? A little taste of what is yet to come. Oh, and the tiniest bit of head start when you begin your degree, but honestly, not so much difference that it should affect your decision.

out of IIUM and UITM, which place is better to study foundation in law?

IIUM

I am currently a practicing lawyer and I did not do Law for A-levels before I did my LLB.

Pros - You familiarise yourself with Law and get a taste of it and it may convince you NOT to do law!

Cons - Why do law when you can do other subjects?

My advice is to do something like maths which teaches you logic (if you can take it!) or do economics which also encourages critical thinking. If you are interested in law, and not 100% sure, spread out and do different subjects like I did - Chem, Econ, Physics (AS) and Maths (not pure maths! phew!) so you still can do Medicine (no need Bio, just Chem) and I could have done engineering (if i continued my Phy)

Like the previous posters have said, law is not a prerequisite. In fact, I advise you to do maths or english literature which will do you better esp if you are thinking of going overseas. It looks better on your CV. Law at A-levels is not worth the effort but worth a dip if you want to see what you will be learning the next 3 years!

Just a moment ago where i checked Internet resources, i were shocked to found out that Law had been categorized as soft subject !!! Soft subject means that this subject are not so good and less people are taking these subjects for A-levels.Some Universities said that it is the best for students to taking Science subjects than law for pursuing law degree.
Here is what Uni of Cambridge said so:http://www.cam.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate/courses/law/requirements.html
Now i'm confusing again
Damn Shit,i was just close to study A-levels law and now this news bounce out in front of my eyes.
