So I assume those engineers that you met that switched to law will only start their legal career around 27 or 28 too ? are they coping well ?

ok ok then it is my job to correct you , i dont think my post was unclear at all ? it's your way of view which is wrong or not up to date for i can rebuke you with this http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f...0#entry47513482

none questioned me as you did ?

Hey guys! I've just finished my A-Levels this Oct & I wish that I can pass so that I can study law in the future.   I'm very hesitating about which Uni should I proceed to when my result is out. I've already cancelled out Taylor & Help, I'm left with KDU/ATC/Inti. I studied my A-Levels in ATC  & I think it's a good school but I feel like changing into a new environment & study in KL instead. I know that all unis are good but the difference is whether taking UOL or UK twinning/ degree transfer. My dad could send me to UK at the 3rd year if I really want to but it is really worth to spend that 100K ? I still need to sit for CLP after coming back from UK, but what if I cant pass my CLP = cannot get the title, I'll waste that 100K. That's why my dad said why not taking the UOL (3 years local) & sit for CLP then BAR at UK. If fail CLP also didn't waste so much money since I study 3 years in local. Safer.

So  . UOL programme is so hard man + need 2:1 to sit for CLP. Sigh. What should I do ? 2+1/3+0 ? 

Thanks for the help 

wah so hard ah ?    HAIH. thanks ya. anyway, is KDU UOL course good ?

hey guys ,so i come here with a list of some university.Maybe u heard of it or oppositely,but what would be the best choice for you if you are going to pursuing LLB degree?

1)University of Manchester
2)University of Liverpool
3)Queen's University Belfast
4)University of Warwick
5)University of Shefield
6)University of Southampton

please leave comments.Thx.

A 2:1 is more important because for Law, it's a profession with a lot of barriers and post-graduate qualifications are necessary (think Accountants, Actuaries, Doctors). What that means is if you don't have a 2:1 you won't get a career in Law, whether you attended LSE or Cardiff.

Yes. You'll get paid about $2k. But there's little career advancement to speak of. You don't want to be a paralegal forever right?

I know this is an age-old question, but is there a 'quota' system for CLP, because I have seen quite a number of my 2:1 seniors who did very well for the UOL system ended up with only a conditional pass and those are are mediocre ended up getting through CLP. Besides, a part of me feels that the legal industry in Malaysia is rather exploited. I don't mean to offend anyone and if I did, I humbly apologise for it.

Let's just say if I intend to pursue a job in a corporate line like a legal department in mnc, is CLP going to be of any use or is it merely a piece of paper?

Hi
I thought to be admit to the bar one person will only need to fulfill one of the three whichever applicable? I am not sure in this ( anyone please correct me if I'm wrong). Since I am have been called to the English bar by that time, and I have fullfil the clause " is a barrister-at-law of England ". It's kind of confusing right?

You know what, at first I actually approach to malaysia bar and they are the one who requested me to the qualifying board and yet, they are unable to give me a firm answer. Kind of disappointed to the.
Cheers

So, potentially, I can go to the crappiest university in the UK, do the BTPC, and get called to the Malaysian bar. Renders the list of qualified universities quite pointless.

contract - -> McKenzie
consti --> online reading

Guys , I need answer ASAP .

This is my rough sketch bout my understanding in lawyer path .

Bachelor Degree in Economic --> LLM (UK) ---> Call to the Bar (UK or Msia) ---> Practicing Lawyer .

Is possible ah if the pathway is like this ? thanks

Shook Lin & Bok is it a good place to chamber? How fruitful is it? Except Good Result what else?

Skrine & Co, Lee Hishamudin, Soo Tien Ming and Shook Lin & Bok. These are the big firm I heard before.

Except Good Result, what else I need to have to compete against so many student to enter these firms.

Hi guys, anyone got a pupillage offer from Raja Darryl & Loh? I went for an interview with them last week but there is still no news. Am anxious beyond words. Still jobless after clp result. Advice pls!

got interviewed by a lady, not fair to disclose her name here i guess. Am anxious because am still jobless after a month from my result. where u work alsree?

Many people including lawyers are saying that it is no longer a noble neither good one to enter into. hence, the nest question is is there still a hope to practice in Malaysia ? Let's take the Executive, Judiciary and Legislature into the discussion.
