How hard is it to get 80+ in the first three years of law?

To the OP:
Have you considered taking MBBS/LLB at monash? I think the way it works is you keep interchanging between med and law each year so it isn't as intense as it sounds (i.e. you won't have to juggle both courses at the same time). I really do not recommend taking law for just three years and then leaving it, wasting all that money and time...
If you do do law, 80+ is really difficult to predict because some people find studying law easier than others and often success at vce doesn't translate into success at uni. My opinion is that law is not one of those subjects that you can just grind at an expect to get a good mark.
but anyway, once again i recommend you look at doing med/law at monash if you are interested in both courses!

Just in case anyone reading this was interested in MBBS/LLB...it is quite intense and there's a fair amount of juggling- 2nd, 3rd and 5th year involve both med and law units. Something more to consider after first year of med :)

Can someone suggest the benefits of doing an MBBS/LLB? Like what will an LLB add if I end up becoming a doctor?
Also, is it worth the extra three years? If not I'll just do a DipArts alongside MBBS (if I get in).

1. Bragging rights
2. You can represent yourself when you get sued to hell for negligence
3. The massive amounts of debt will allow you to declare bankruptcy later so you can start over
paulsterio:
In regards to representing yourself in court, don't you have to undertake further studies after an LLB to become a barrister?
LOL! oh yeah, I never thought about the debt, but good point :P :P

Definitely bragging rights and being on your way to being the most qualified person around...but on a more serious note:
I spent many months last year debating whether to do med/law or not...The main benefits could be if you're interested in pursuing a medico-legal line (medical insurance companies, ethics boards maybe...and for some reason there seem to be a loooot of surgeons around who have a law degree lololol) or maybe even a political line later on..and I guess if you're just plain interested in law. That said, you do a fair bit of law basics in the med course itself.
In my opinion, if you can handle the extra workload and are up for the challenge, and think a law degree would benefit the line of medicine you want to follow, then definitely the three years extra are worth it...for me, even though I was realllly interested in studying law, I realised a) I couldn't cope, and b) doesn't really fit with my medical career ambitions...of course, you can always go back and do a JD after you've finished MBBS if you so feel the need :P
Alternatively, the dipArts sounds good if you want a bit of variety in your course.
