Attempt to emulate US universities, where the only undergraduate degrees are Arts and Science.

US universities don't even have undergrad commerce or law? Wow... so if you want to do law at, say, Harvard or something, you have to do undergrad arts or science, then go into postgraduate law (similar to the Melbourne model).
Glockmeister:
More or less. In fact, that's really where the Melbourne Model got its ideas from really (why you might see the Melbourne Model referred to as a US-style system)
