Law at Melbourne and Latrobe
xtreme_matt32:
I plan to do an Arts degree at Melbourne, and then want to do JD at Melbourne aswell. I just wanted to know how the two law courses compare to each other, and if studying at one or the other will give me an advantage when looking for a job, incase i dont get into law at melbourne.
excal:
I have heard from one or two law firms that they simply chuck out applicants that aren't from Melbourne or Monash. Of course, n < 30, therefore that obversation is not statistically significant..
...you're better off going to Melbourne / Monash in other words. You should also consider Arts at Monash (or Melbourne) and doing a lateral entry into Law at Monash.
Eriny:
You could always do law at LaTrobe, do really well, and then get a masters. That looks more impressive than an LLB or JD, regardless of uni. Also, even though there is a lot of elitism associated with law, you'll be able to get a job as a LaTrobe graduate. I guess it depends what you want, though. Have a look at Monash law also, if it isn't too far away or you think you have a chance of getting the crazy high ENTER required for entry.
Also, as I'm an ANU kid, I can barely make a post about courses unless I say that if you're willing to move up, you can get the most prestigious law degree in the country with a 95 ENTER.

Are you being serious? Why are ANU law degrees prestigious?
Noblesse:
I am guessing because ANU is Australia's number one uni, ranked 16th in the world (Melbourne is ranked 27th)
