I know, I was just exaggerating the fact that interns are underpaid

May I ask why you haven't chosen the Melbourne JD instead? That would boost your chances of a legal career.

This is cheaper than the JD I thought with the same qualifications.

This is 9K a year with a Commonwealth supported spot

Your motivations for a law degree aren't very clear. I'd say work in the field you are currently qualified in; if you don't like it and think that law would suit you better, then study law.

If you are an Australian citizen, the UoM JD comes under HECS

It's up to you really. If you feel that the job you have lined up is good enough that you'd be happy to work at it for a few years until you have enough experience to make up for the less-than-stellar alma mater, then stick with La Trobe.

Otherwise, the UoM JD would be a better choice because it is more respected in the legal industry.

As to your original question, I'm at work at the moment but when I get home I'll PM you some of the readings I have to do so you can get a sense of the level of English you'll need
