I've heard of media lawyers before.. so I assume so?

ninwa:
Specifically what areas of media/comm?

lishan515:
If you listen to the radio - there are x-lawyers speaking all the time - eg Jon Faine.

If you read print media - many of their journalists studied law.

If you watch completely unrelated Tv shows - eg Deal or No Deal the presenter studied law or think of the Chaser boys

Heaps of people who work in media have done law degrees

ninwa:
Yes but I don't think a law degree actually helps with any of that

lishan515:
That is probably true - except I'd suggest that given there are so many media/journalism courses out there and so few cadetships that something like a law degree might distinguish you from other candidates.

And you always still have the generic skills from law degrees - eg. problem solving, writing skills, research skills etc that would be transferable
