If you're doing that double then you'd probably be interested in medical litigation or legal aspects of the health system. Go set up as a consultant who'll sell testimony as an expert for $1000 a pop :P

What about BioMed/Law with the Melbourne Model? That seems pretty reasonable compared to the mental Med/Law triple, and it could open up doors in medical litigation or commercial biotechnology.

med/law triple?

Well if you want to do two degrees at melbourne it'll put you in the same position (ie having experience in both) but you won't be a doctor, you'll be a lawyer with a biomedicine degree.

It should be noted though that you don't have to have an MBBS to actually be able to do such things.

Pretty sure you don't need a practising law degree to do half of those things.

Your life would be better off with Biomed law.
