i dunno... but off the top of my head, probably the initiative to read their website and emailing them if further information is required?

Be good at sport (I know someone studying at harvard law on an athletics scholorship)

High UAI + High SAT + Some Really Good References + Money, this would also get you in.

But American law can't be practiced here, so you'd have to marry an American. (lol)


I once considered this.

i reckon you're wrong on both counts.

first, UAI and SAT are for undergraduate entry. Juris Doctor is a graduate degree.

second, you could probly work in a big US firm's Sydney office (eg Sidley Austinhttp://www.sidley.com/ourfirm/offices/office.aspx?office=18, Skaddenshttp://www.skadden.com/Index.cfm?contentID=49&officeID=18, Jones Dayhttp://www.jonesday.com/locations/locdetail.aspx?locid=S21 etc), where they provide US law advice in cross-border transactions.

my advice is, don't give advice if you don't know what you're talking about. and don't revive old threads just to throw in your two dirty cents.

Oh wow, i wasn't aware of those law firms, that actually really interesting.

And sorry, your right i forget Law was post grad at harvard. Now im uncertain if the person i know is a graduate of law or not.

I assume they must be.

But it's definitly possible for an Australian to get into harvard.

Further reading, the American law institutes you linked me too are very interesting.

I assume all of there employees that practice law are American graduates?

i linked you to law firms, not institutes.

and, no, not necessarily. to give US advice, you have to be qualified to do so. there are more ways to qualify as a lawyer than do a LLB/JD. Jones Day in Sydney also provides local (ie Australian) advice.

but, for now, little one, put your Harvard dream aside and focus on your HSC.

Haha thanks champ, I always wanted to study law, But then someone told me US law couldn't be practiced here.

So now i might re consider studying law in the future.

HSC focusing time, thanks again.
