if i were to study law in NUS, does tht mean i wont hv to do CLP if i wanna be a lawyer in Msia? btw, is NUS's law faculty hard to get in?

arh..hard to get in arh...=(
now i hv two choices

a) get out frm schl this yr after spm (taking spm this yr) then do alvls at ATC and take law as one of the subject, then try to get into NUS

b) continue reading Senior Middle 3 in my schl nxt yr (Im studying in private schl)...and with the UEC cert, i try to apply for NUS's law faculty..

which will make it easier for me to get into NUS?

UEC is also recognized by NUS, in fact the UEC cert is quite useful if wana go singapore, but (i think only la) i feel tht A levels cert with Law subject is better, will it?

2. Job prospect
Look into the daily newspapers, look at how many positions r available in the Legal profession. You will notice if u only have a law degree, u r stuck at square one.
Take note: of limitation and requirements, i.e. been in practice, admitted as Adv & Sol, in-house, 5 yrs exp bla bla

why stuck at square one? dont get it. would you mind explaining? thx =)


so if i don't want to be a lawyer in future, that means it wou;d be better if i do a double degree (ed law/finance) is that so?

and lastly, if letsay i have a double degree (law/finance or law/econs or law/business), can i one day be a company's legal advisor?

thanks. =)

thanks =)

yeah, i do realise that there's more demand for accountants and engineers also =) that's why im thinking of doing double degree (law/biz or law/finance or law/econs) cuz my main core is actually doing business or banking related industry. but my dad told me business degree is wayyy to common. that's why he reckons that it would be better if i have some legal backgrd. cuz that would be a plus point.
