relevant or not u wouldnt noe. it may not be relevant to ur work, ie Jurisprudence, but it will be relevant to your life or other subjects.

Conflict of Laws, as opposed to the common typo of ConflictS of Law, is one good subject to complement your knowledge on other subjects like COmpany Law. Some same cases emerge in both COmpany and COL.

what about Evidence? EU? IP?

okie, im sorta in dilemma right now.
and i would like to seek for some advice.

is it a MUST to take sejarah in STPM if im interested in law?

as what i've heard, sejarah is easy to read and understands, when it comes to question they just screwed up, its HARD to get marks. that is why, most of my seniors failed their sejarah paper.

yea.NUS is a goood place..but chances of getting in for Law  espicially is even  harder. hows the price studying in uk all 3 yrs?? not in london.

I've just passed my intermediate exam LLB.. for those spm leavers dont even consider taking up this degree if you are not committed to the fullest.. I mean if you read a book you read every single word type of person...

It is a hard road and a almost death road for short cuts people like me.. It is my biggest regret of all time taking up this degree with all the money spent and the chances of just passing the degree is 50% not to mention a Lower class honours.. even lower..

Now that i'm halfway, i'm stucked and have no where to go but to continue. What my future holds I'm not sure myself. Now trying to get a fulltime job with my intermediate result and it is tough because it is not a complete certification. I've applied for cheque clearing, service bankers, even data entry jobs, and failed. Not that I don't possessed the skills but they just don't look at it when I mentioned my qualification as 1st year of LLB.

When they think it is nothing, I would like them to try doing that paper and to realize how much effort one must put in in order just to pass it. And the 1st year is considered a Diploma as well.

When some say reading the law requires no skills and only memorization, that is a total flawed statement. Yes, to read law all one needs to do is read. But there is a process where you will need to absorb the knowledge and to apply it on various different situations in a limited time, to be able to do that requires a skill where if one doesn't train the brain to so, will never able to do it.

So for those employers out there who think that law graduates are bunch of book worms then it is a sorry perception to our nation that have such undermined thinking.

You can think that you too can just read up and sit for the exam so long as you understand. But the fact that even if you understand, you will not certain able to answer the questions. Why? Because you think that you know but you actually don't. That is why the saying goes don't judge a book by its cover and certainly don't judge its contents when you don't even know what it is all about. But the fact that employers do have their reasons on recognition and the fact that law graduates are all hard work but not getting the deserved recognition.

I would dare to say if one compare with any general business degree, reading law requires 5 times or more brain power for the purpose. So no offence on other degrees, but if employers are to determine the CPGA and honours level, than I'm very sure that it is not accurate to judge a Second Upper Class business degree with a Law degree, simply because of the reason I mentioned above. Still I might not be correct on all terms but this is what I'm seeing though. Good luck to myself and all the law readers on this hard blurry pursue.

Added on October 3, 2008, 10:19 pmRegarding the External or Internal degree issue. this is another frustration I would like to voice. I am a External student of UOL. Yes, the difference relating to experienced lecturers and university environment is very true. How i wish to be overseas and experience that as well.

But the fact is that what really matter is the financial factor. I do not have that capacity so I'll do the external course. So is that how employers will judge on its recognition too? No money. no recognition? That has been the fact and how it is like. I hardly can say anything anymore because it seems like what I've been doing even to the completion of the external degree deserves nothing more than a so-so affordable self study degree. Is that how it is?

BAC oso got.. but do u know how to find teh cases? i malas ask my lecturer again.. u know those cases for example Pagett (1983) All ER 768 macam itu. how to find ah? haha

lol same.. anyway who's in BAC here? first year students any?

Modules problems !! HELP! :S

Im taking company law and Ive heard its a tough subject ! Is that so ?

does it really matter what subjects we take in LLB ?

im seriously considering dropping company law and go for consumer protection, this , is a much easier subject.

Any opinions ?

hmm, never trust wat u heard of...from my experience, the subject they told me is hard is usually easier than what they said as easy...It actually varies with ppl...some find company law hard and some find consumer protection hard...it depends on individual...u shud take some time reading both...In my time, i actually attend both classes for the 1st month before i decided...and found the right 1...

and whether company law or consumer protection, it has an impact on what field u plan to take in future...think twice...

what? last year ady? no other ppl first year here? haha company law is in the last year right? no ppl taking international law in LLB last year ah? hahaha

urm..any college/university intro?
mean after i get a-level from what what U..
then go which U to continue degree or what?

my year's criminal law and constitutional law lecturer is better than the UOL lecturers. feedbacks from my UOL mates. haha

i'm first year uwe student UOL students told me that. our lecturer is arnold. lol

eh nobody going to the DNA bill public forum? lol

yeap. new guy i guess. good lecturer. still practicing law

rabinder is teaching the part time students now if i'm not mistaken lol.. when is your final exam?

wait wait..
abit blur..
mean..after i take A-level...
i can straight go to degree?
how many years will u all study?

sei yan tao =.= i not yet take lawyer u straight say if fail..
ohh,mean A-level then degree..
like what they mention many UOL,brickfields..so many..which one is da best? how about taylor? mmu eh?

why don't you take your a levels first
and take law as a subject..so you can determine whether you want to continue or not
if you do well then you're better off doing your law degree overseas in a good university
(if you can afford it)

once you finish your a-levels and decide to do UOL external, then you can always personally go to the colleges you mentioned to make further inquiries..
its your degree and career path...so take up the initiative.

MMU local uni? i thought private 1?
btw..what's CLP? 

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?
