But there's the rub. The original question being asked wasn't: "Is arts/law better than com/law for a role in DFAT overseas"

No, it's not irrelevant as plenty of law graduates go into non-legal professions. And secondly the question asked was "if you do comm/law, is it more advantageous to you in terms of employment options? if so, is it significantly more than if you did arts/law?" The question posed was not limited to only legal professions.

vce01... keep in mind that all u're gonna get on here r opinions.
Hear wot we have 2 say, but show the independence of thought 2 make up ur own mind.
Personally, if u want 2 cover all bases, I would recommend Com/Law with a concurrent diploma in ur desired Arts 'major' (or visa versa).
Like, I know it's a lil different, but instead of doing a double Arts/Com I decided 2 do BCom with a Dip of Languages (Jap).
Takes 1 less year and the Dip is the equivalent of a degree major.
I may also take Jap Studies as a cross-faculty minor to compliment my language studies.
If u'd like 2 know a bit more bout this alternative, I happen 2 have a copy of the Arts faculty undergrad diploma application form 4 Monash. It has a list of all Arts faculty diplomas u can apply 4 ...including popular majors like politics, history and philosophy. I'm sure other universities have equivalent programs.
excal:
Com/Law + DipArts
Problem solved.

I think if you are dead set on law, that Comm/Law is the answer.
But humph brings up good points about an Arts double degree are very handy.
If you were more interested in Commerce, I would suggest Commerce/Arts because Commerce and a study of a language, plus different country would be in demand. Especially with some of these Asain Countries, like China still growing excessively, and Japan's growth being will slow, will likely increase.
I remember talking to this absolutely load Investment Banker who works at Goldman Sachs, who said something similar to the above. The man seemed to have the best job if you could cope with the long hours at first
