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

Really? That's how LLB honours work too. In that case I guess JD also has a similar system then.

I'm just speaking generally about postgrad/undergrad study, no idea what exactly happens with the JD.

I thought honours was an extra year of study/research after bachelors'.

Also, do you think economics/finance or actuarial studies is more compatible to law, in terms of work/corporate-commercial-banking-financy law jobs?

It is for almost every discipline except law. (There is an optional research subject, if you feel like it...)

I would definitely say economics/finance. I have seen job ads asking for commerce/law students majoring in finance/accounting (not so much economics though).

I'm not entirely certain what actuaries do but I gather it is some sort of risk assessment/analysis, in which case you don't really need law for it.
