Law degree (LLB) query
Glockmeister:
My understanding is that Honours works differently from other degree. There's no 'Honours' year as in other courses - Honours is awarded based on your marks throughout the course.

That's correct. However, you can do an optional thesis of 10k - 12k words, which could potentially push you into a higher class of honours and also makes you more attractive to employers.

I couldn't find any info on honours in the JD website. I'm assuming as a technically masters degree it probably wouldn't (masters degrees don't have honours, do they?)

K thanks for the info - I guess if I want to do further study after JD (when I've already been in uni for 7 years lol) I'll have to go on to Masters (LLM)... :D

Yeah, not as far as I know. There are the 1st class/2nd class etc. from your grades but not a formal honours year.
