Law Places

[AzureBlue]

yea, 99.90 or 99.95 gurantees a CSP place in the melbourne jd providing you do a undegraduate degree at UoM and it give you a scolorship for your undergraduate

Ooh! That's great, do you still need the LSAT and stuff as well as a H2A average?

[Russ]

You will need the H2A average, to ensure you're up to their standard. They may waive the LSAT (they do waive the GAMSAT for graduate medicine) so if you check the JD futurestudents page it should have it

[tram]

no, you don't have to sit the lsat if you are offered a guranteed place, you don't need to write the personal statement either

and lol, if you get a 99.90/99.95, i doubt maintaining H2A adverage is gonna be too hard

Lol 99.9/99.95 brings so much advantages... that is sooo good. Now I feel much more motivated to give VCE my best shot! I wonder how well I'm gonna handle 5 VCE + 1 UMEP subject in year 12...

And is the JD more advanced and accelerated than the LLB?

Not more advanced. I don't know where that misconception comes from, all law degrees are fundamentally the same.

Maybe more accelerated (I think a JD is 3 years cf. LLB 4 years) but you do exactly the same subjects, because you are not recognised as a law graduate unless you have done a certain set of compulsory subjects (and in addition, you must do a set of quasi-compulsory subjects if you want to practice law in Victoria).

You'd be surprised. No identifying details, but I know students with the guarantee who don't have the H2A average. 80% is the cutoff for H1s for a reason...

I second to that.  I also know a couple of students like that.  Life changes when you leave school; your normal routine that you've been used to for 6 years suddenly goes out the door.

H2A 75%-79% --> Isn't that going to be easier to maintain in some courses rather than others?

Yes, depending on your interests and aptitude to the course in general.  Also depending on whether or not the subjects you do are subjective or not.

I think the misconception comes from the D bit of the JD. Doctor is more advanced than bachelor's right?

Lol yeah I suppose I just thought that postgraduate law would be more advanced than undergraduate. If you're in Monash, don't you do the LLB (Bachelor of Laws) then the JD? Or just one or the other? Because there's not much point in learning the same thing again...

[IntoTheNewWorld]

nooooooooooooo. The JD is for those who have never done law in their life. An LLB would never do a JD. Doing LLB then JD would be like doing MBBS at Monash then doing postgrad med at Monash Gippsland.

I guess you could argue a JD could be more advanced in that all the people doing JD have an undergraduate degree already, hence they expect you to be better at things like essay writing, oral presentations whatever, and subjects could move at a faster pace.

JD = LLB for people who already have a degree

LLB = JD for people who don't have a degree

Ahh ok, what if you have completed an undergraduate law degree (LLB) and want to do further study of law then? Is there like a masters degree or something?

[ninwa]

Yes masters of law, but that's different from JD - that's like any other masters degree, you do it through research or coursework in a specific area of law.
