QUOTE(jhong @ Jan 2 2011, 08:14 PM) I think, with regards to the role of judges in both of the countries are quite similar in which they both adopting adversarial system. Whereby the barristers/advocates and solicitors bear the burden to present the case and argue according based on their thought that is in the best interest of the party. I came across in my reading in which it is stated that: A judge is a law student who marks his own examination papers. ~ H. L. Mencken Humble view here, i would say Judges are nonetheless not one that even produced his examination papers but merely reiterate what is best justice by earing on each side of arguments presented by the barristers. Hence why, when there is no examination papers at the initial point, a judge cant be marking his own examination papers. Unless by reiterating the arguments and added his two cents based on the fact is to be regarded as an 'examination papers'. Hence, Judges didnt really take an active role in this sense. Agreed that we practice an adversarial system. We still argue and present our facts in court just like who it is in the UK. The judges are therefore playing an active role. |

QUOTE(minshuen @ Jan 17 2011, 09:09 PM) any london external programme law graduates here?i would like to know is there any difference between llb london external programme graduates and the foreign uni one?and will the holder of llb external programme be at the unfavourable position when applying for jobs?thanks in advance^^ Both are recognisable by the Malaysian BAR. thats for sure. But I talked to my church lawyer, he says that some big firms do not recognise the London External UOL as well as Singapore firms ( if you plan to work there). In today's job market, I do not know if this is still practiced. |

I heard an A for law is kind of big deal.. And i heard the minimum requirement for CLP is at least a lower second class honors ? is it tough to get that? Hit a B is already good enuff. I still traumatised after missing by 3 marks  Could have hit and A* or an A minimum |

QUOTE(GulengBeng @ Jan 25 2011, 09:56 PM) Wow.. cases and facts aside, how did you study for it? Understanding and listening in class... haha. Its quite easy once u understand it. For example criminal law, you only need to understand the principle if certain offences. Then always remember the AR and MR. The only memorising that is being done is for cases and statute. Then apply the defence. Quite simple. Even LLB isnt really hard if you pay attention in class. |

I think you need 50% minimum for first year. They look at your A-levels results as well. Best check with your head of department. I'm from BAC and we do not need A levels to transfer

You get to go to UK with 7... thats for sure. But big uni's like Oxbridge require 8 or a minimum 7.5. To do your BAR in the UK, you need 7.5 average and 7.5 for all the modules

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 |

QUOTE(JosephC @ Mar 20 2011, 02:40 PM) 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 ? 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 This post has been edited by SihamZhai: Mar 21 2011, 09:19 PM |

QUOTE(wtjun @ Oct 25 2011, 01:37 AM) I have a question. I'm having my SPM this year. And i'm most probably gonna start my Pre U in January next year. But if I'm doing SAM ( South Australian Matriculation ) , will I still be able to do UK Law Degree Transfer program? Because some of the UK Law Degree Transfer program requires A Levels, and I do not have any intention of doing A Levels. Opinions anyone? (: I know one friend in Brickfields Asia who did either SAM or Ausmat (not sure) and is currently in the UK. Call the college to check it out |
