Of the ones in my cohort: a few are with the top tier firms; one is in a personal injury plaintiff firm; another with Maurice Blackburn; one is an associate to the President of Fair Work Australia; a few were tipstaff/associates to judges and are now studying overseas (one has gone to work for...

The problem with doing that is later law courses have those first ones as prerequisites. The other is, speaking as a JD grad who, therefore, had to do all of their law courses together, I'd rather have had them spaced out more. Sent from my GT-I9506 using Tapatalk

The teaching quality is excellent overall. There are one or two lecturers there who aren't so good, but that's true of anywhere. The Law Society on campus is very helpful for clerkships and regularly organises seminars to help with applications. Networking opportunities are also great. You'll...

I see a lot of successful UTS and UWS grads. I see a lot of unemployed USyd grads. You're better off going to the uni you think you'll do best at. Sent from my GT-I9506 using Tapatalk

Melbourne is ranked 5th. Sydney is ranked 10th. You're well served either way, and both degrees are regarded as top-notch. If you want to practice in NSW, then USyd will have better contacts with firm offices in NSW and with the Bar. I imagine the same is true for Melbourne Uni in Victoria...

It really doesn't matter so much anymore. You see tipstaff and associates from universities all over. There are so many grads from so many law schools that there are just as many unemployed USyd grads as there are others these days. There are also other factors to take into account. For...

I can't speak directly on the MLLR but I have just completed the LLM at USyd. The postgraduate units all come from the same list (apart from the compulsory units). All of the ones I've taken are excellent. USyd will also fly in a lot of international experts to teach many of their courses. I'd...

Everything you said was right about what's going on at UNSW but, in my experience @ USyd their Arts was going through problems in regards to funding which were just as bad. But, I can only speak from my experience which was very good at UNSW. Other's experiences will be different.

The IT department did issue warnings, but with the proviso that they would begin charging students to access the network. Knowing UNSW and their now precarious financial state, this sounds more like a pretext to begin charging students in the near future anyway. Don't abuse it and they won't...

Although it was back in 1st semester 2006, intro. German @ USyd was in my experience not very good. The course materials were poorly chosen, and it was run by a foreign exchange post-grad student who, while competent in her own right, was soon replaced by another meaning it had no permanent...

Arts @ unsw is great. I transferred out of USyd Arts into UNSW, because I didn't at all like Arts @ USyd. Others will disagree, but it hardly merits the kind of comment from bringbackshred.

Thanks, appreciate it.

You'd be more familar with it than I am, but are all the universities offering JDs making the same arragements as UTS in terms of evening classes and such?

Were you guys who enrolled at St. James campus able to get your student cards there, or did they say you'll have to go to main campus?

I will have been in uni eight years when I finish at USyd so I can relate. I just don't see how double the cost for six months less is an equitable trade-off. Though, the JD's structure would be infinitely preferable I must admit. I think it's almost a matter of different strokes for different...

PLT isn't included in USyd LLB so you're right about the JD having that going for it. Conversely though, it means you're spending units on doing the PLT rather than doing other law electives (though you can choose them instead). I confess I don't know if that's really a drawback at all though. I...

DeVenne, I looked into the UTS JD before deciding on USyd grad law, and from what I gathered, the "post-graduate" only courses, are in regards to the availability of night classes and other such things to make it more convenient for those who are working, or have other committments. Ironically...

I was in the degree in a previous life and the chem course isn't too hard if you have experience with chem. If you've never done it before and are worried, then by all means do the bridging course. I don't think you should worry too much though, considering a lot of people I was in the course...

The Premier's job is a simple one according to an advisor I've spoken to: to be an effective communicator. Poor Rees hasn't been able to do that, maybe someone thinks Sartor can, afterall, did anyone read Miranda Devine's column in the Herald on Thursday? It was basically her saying how great...

This entire thread is hilarious! For starters, where exactly are the statistics that show all these unemployed Arts grads (unless someone posted them around the page when two people got into an argument over what constitutes a "doctor" or a "lawyer" and I completely tuned out)? Or, is this just...
