Dejan:
What are the differences in between in the universities that offer law(Melbourne Uni, Vic Uni, UNI, Deakin, Rmit etc.)?
And what is an disadvantage of studying a double degree at Vic uni? Since I am considering studying there as I didn't work hard enough to get in monash What's so bad about it studying there? and not being good in English does that put you at a disadvantage in during well in uni?

ninwa:
Pretty much every uni in Australia offers law degrees. This means a LOT of law graduates - far too many for the job positions available. This means the industry is highly competitive.

The legal industry is in many ways still an "old boys club" - in other words, they're a bunch of snobs, and a lot of them would prefer to hire graduates from the Group of Eight universities.

Monash is obviously the best choice, followed by the UoM JD. Deakin is slowly establishing a reputation as a law school which, while maybe not top-tier, is still relatively good (and especially if you are interested in the commercial law side of things). The other unis - they're not terrible but you would struggle more to find employment afterwards.

What kinds of career paths are you looking at?

If you're not good at English (and by this I mean reading comprehension and written expression skills mostly) then I would strongly advise against doing law because you WILL struggle, and if you're planning on going to VU you're going to need an absolutely stellar academic record.

Okay, what is the atar to get into Monash?, Well I am looking into becoming a barrister and I am pretty capable of doing those skills

Law by itself is 98.05.

Others you may have interest in (all at Monash):
Arts/Law - 98.15
Biomedical Science/Law - 98.00
Commerce/Law - 98.00
Engineering/Law - 97.65
Science/Law - 98.05

Dejan:
Hmm, it's abit too high for my standards and no way I would be even close to getting that ATAR, I guess I'll try aim for Deakin or RMIT
