I wouldn't really bother much about it. In practice, it will become apparent when you are drafting your particulars of claim. You do not specifically say that you are relying on res ipsa. It is obvious based on your PoC.

Moreover, it is common practice to just call it res ipsa.

For academic purposes, follow what your textbook tells you.

Is there any different if i pursue law in australia instead of england?

This is something that you should verify with the Legal Profession Qualifying Board (should you intend to practise law).

:-)

The most important thing is the recognition of your qualification by the Board.

Further to that, you might want to consider if you intend to practise law in Malaysia or Australia.

Do check with the appropriate State that you intend to practise law in.

Also, do note that even if you are a qualified legal practitioner in Australia, the Board may require you to sit for a qualifications exam(currently CLP) so that you can proceed with pupillage in Malaysia.

At present, it is still an even chance of entering. Although most people said that it is easy, I do know quite a number of students who failed to secure a place on the BVC.

In addition, refer to the first page on the proposed Bar Professional Training Course.

The BVC Online Application allows you to apply for all the providers
However, You will only be able to select the top 3 for the first round offers. The rest will go to the second round pool system.

The providers will be able to identify their priority in your selection. Therefore, it is more likely that you will be able to get your first choice than your third choice. However, other considerations will be taken into account by them.


As for the programme in BAC or Help, you should consider asking opinion from others.

I normally(at least I try to) refrain myself from expressing my views on those matters.

I believe that it all comes down to your personal choice. :-)

Considering that Tort is one of the core papers in LL.B, you would have to sit for it wouldn't you?
:-)

If you did not take it prior to transferring to another University then you would probably have to take it one way or another in the new university wouldn't you?

As regards your second question, I would personally say no. The training given is different. :-)

It is also unfair to ask this question because a CLP grad or even a local grad would 'normally' have the tendency to support CLP holders where as a barrister-at-law would think that their training is much better.

Therefore, this is somewhat a forum non inconveniens for that matter.

criminal case is under litigation?

Added on June 8, 2009, 5:21 pmUnder such circumstances, the alternative qualification for purposes of being admitted to the High Court of Malaya would be
:

Graduate of a local university;

Holder of a Certificate of Legal Practice (CLP) held by the Legal Qualifying Board of Malaysia

and in the cases of Sarawak, either

a graduate of a local university/holder of CLP/Australian graduate who has been called to the Bar.

The last word Bar is for australian bar?

Under what circumstances?
Where did you get that quote from?

I do not know about the case in the High Court of Borneo. I normally presume that it would be dependent on the qualification being in the gazette. As far as I am aware, the Australian Bar is not included in the gazette.

No
The Bar Standards Board has decided not to implement Sir David Clementi's proposal on deferral of call.

hi, sorry to burden you by asking you some questions, i didnt study anything about law during my pre-u studies, forgive me by being ignorant. I would like to ask you a few questions, firstly, what do you all mean by 'attachment wif law firm during 1st year/2nd year? how to do that? is it the attachment you mean is actually kinda internship? secondly, i'm currently doin uk degree programme transfer, 2+1, which University is good, in your opinions? i'd some research on the web and oso trhu forums, i found out that king's college, cardiff, uwe, warwick are among the tops. i know i've better chance to enter cardiff or uwe via this programme as they are partner U of brickfields, but is it possible for me to apply for Uni like cambridge/oxford provided that i do very well in my 1st n 2nd year in malaysia? apart of that, my uncle in london told me that there are a lot of summer schools teaching about law in uk, if i enroll to one summer school and do about 5 months of internship in law firms in malaysia b4 i transfer to UK, will i hv a higher chance to go into those good Uni easier?

sorry if i've caused u any trouble. i'll really appreaciate if you can help me, thanks.
