Uni Stuff > Law

The life of a lawyer

<< < (2/5) > >>

Russ:
Where did you get 100k from? Law subjects are ~1k each for a CSP student and it's a 3 year degree so I thought it was closer to 30k?

The government will pay all of that but you have to pay them back eventually

werdna:
Oops, what I meant was a full-fee placement - an ATAR of 99.00+ (and specific requirements from my performance in an Arts course) would give a full-fee placement. A CSP place would need a 99.90+.. but I assume you can still apply for a CSP once the undergrad is complete?

Russ:
You absolutely do not need to get 99.9+ to get a CSP place in a graduate degree

werdna:
I've been looking through the profiles of some lawyers in the big firms, and the majority of them have BA/LLB or BComm/LLB qualifications - I haven't come across any solicitors with postgrad qualifications like a JD or Masters yet.

chrisjb:
I'm also gonna do law at uni. The only problem is that I'm gonna take a gap year and that would mean that melbourne uni JD would take me till i'm about 25 or 26 to complete... This seems like a long time :( So I reckon I'll end up settling for Monash Arts/Law or perhaps Deakin Arts/Law depending on my atar so that i'm not there for so long.

Isn't it a relatively new model?
