Advantages/disadvantages of ANU when applying for Melbourne law positions
Duck:
Hmm, i have also heard that ANU sees alot of graduates go into public practice. I guess in the end it doesn't really matter that much which uni you go to but rather grades/electives/extra-curriculars. That is, if i wanted to do international law and went to Melbourne i'm sure i could succeed just as i could if i went to ANU with the intention of doing private law. I also just noticed that i've posted like half of the comments in this thread, and most of those consist of me convincing myself about going to ANU :P.
Caspar:
Isn't Usyd generally considered to be the best law school ninwa?
ninwa:
I honestly cannot be certain. I've merely heard a lot of people say ANU is the best.
This website puts UoM 1st, USyd 2nd and ANU 3rd but I don't know how accurate it is. (It doesn't look like it's been updated since UoM removed undergraduate law)
Eriny:
UniMelb and USyd definitely have a better graduate network in the respective cities. I don't know how much of a difference this makes in reality. Maybe someone who went to the same uni as you is more likely to employ you? (I doubt it)
herzy:
i think ultimately it doesn't make much of a difference... i was tossing up reputation etc when i was thinking of going to Bond for law (on a full scholarship) but decided to go to monash rather than ANU or USYD mainly because i doubt it'll make a difference if you get good marks, and i didn't really want to move. I would probably advise deakin rather than UoM or ANU, but ANUs not a bad option from what friends tell me...
