What you do if you want to practice as a lawyer.
Hmm... technically that wouldn't make sense because 'Lex' simply means laws, so it'd be like saying "Bachelor of Laws Laws" -- (Legum means "of laws")... but who knowsZiff said:Lex Legum Baccalaureus?
oh yeah....stoopid me...Frigid said:the two L's simply pluralises the word: so it's Bachelor of Laws, not Bachelor of Law. on the same note however, it is the Faculty of Law, not the Faculty of Laws. such legal reasoning is beyond me.
similar examples can be seen in the abbreviations: ss, pp, JJ ('sections', 'pages', 'Justices' respectively).
I agree.Minai said:Yeah, as santa said - If you want to practice as a commercial lawyer, then you'd want the LLB. I'm doing an Accounting & Business Law double major in Commerce, and although the subject matter is identical (although not as much reading), its purpose is to equip accountants with knowledge of the law, not to practice it
Nothing wrong at all with an arts degree! I am currently sitting with two graduates of combined arts/law degrees (one majoring in french; the other majoring in history) and they both have been employed by law firms next year! The other person I'm sitting next to is an arts/law student; so I'm certainly outnumbered.mr EaZy said:Edit2: what do u think of arts degrees in general?
Perhaps start on the law/business/commerce approach and re-evaluate once you're in the thick of uni. Seeing as you're keen on arts, don't close off that option until post-uni - see what happens in the next year or so and don't feel that your decision now is *it*. Being flexible is a positive thing.mr EaZy said:i think what i should do to guarantee employment is to do law/business or law/commerce and later on in life, do an arts degree
(no one will willing to accept the fact that i wanna do arts on its own )
