USyd Law

So I've been doing some research into Law degrees in Australia and from what I've uncovered so far it seems like the USyd L.L.B. is the best course in Australia and also quite good on an international scale. Unfortunately very tough to get into (99.7 was the 2011 clearly in), however...

Is the difference in the quality of the degrees substantial enough to warrant moving interstate instead of just doing a double degree of Commerce/Law at Monash? Also would going to USyd provide any significant advantages in terms of job seeking/post. grad opportunities when compared to either a L.L.B. from Monash or a JD from Melb? Thanks in advance :).

Well, you live in Melbourne, so there's no point going to USyd if you want to do law in Victoria. But if you want to practice law overseas, go to a university that has good international reputation, like Melbourne Uni. If not, might as well go L.L.B. Monash if possible, no need to do LSAT for Melbourne JD.

paulsterio:
Monash, UoM, USyd, UNSW, ANU are all good universities for Law.

Unfortunately, in Law, alma mater does matter, so choose a good university. Any of them should be fine. If you don't want to go to Monash, consider ANU. Top quality course, lower ATAR because less people want to move to Canberra.

Atm I'm very keen on Monash only because J.D. at Melb requires me to go through the pains of an undergraduate degree + LSAT and I have heard Monash has a good rep. But like you said alma mater does matter, which is why I was wondering if USyd was a lot better.

@Aes_999 I could still practice law in Vic if I study in USyd can't I? I was under the impression that it would be fine.

edit: How would you guys rate the international reputation of Monash?

Liuy:
Search the law forum for more threads regarding where to do law. Have a read of those.

Monash is still a relatively young, up and coming university and it's rep is bound to grow.
