hi, i read this at the LSS at monash uni and am not sure it is right or not regarding honors btw, at monash 60-69 = Cred 70-79 = Dis 80+ = HD Honors H1 = 75+.....top 5% H1B = 71-74....next 10% H2B = 69-70....next 10% H3 = 67-68....next 10% so to get honors u need to be in top 35%...

thanks for the advice, in fact the way to organise notes and do exams that you guys have pointed out is exactly what i was doing....so its good to know i am on the right track. as you say, contracts is relatively easy to get D's in due to the nature of it being so rule based. then what units...

Hi, I am doing com/law and contracts a. I just wanted some advice on how to study this subject, how my notes for the exams and summary notes structured and other general advice you have specific to this or even generally to law subjects. also, if a question on the exam is say worth 15...

Re: D average - clearing up A law WAM of 77.40, what percentile of your uni do u rkn that equates to? top 5%? top 10%? and u mentioned top tier firms, what about ones like Tresscox, Philip Fox, Hunt and Hunt, Deacons etc etc? would they be comfortable with generally a low D average where as...

hey when ppl say a Distinction avg is a must for getting jobs in top law firms, do you mean that a D average in you whole course (ie/ a double degree of comm units as well as law units) or a D average in your law units? and, also are there ppl out there that have a HD average? i would...

Re: legal text books thanks, so i assume then that u arent really compromising ur studies by not getting the recommended ones and u can still get top marks by reading the presc ones closely? but i will buy a legal dict, it will be helpful throughout my course/career i suppose. also, with...

hi, i am a first yr law student and i was looking for advice on law text books what do experience law students buy in terms of law textbooks? do u buy only the prescribed or also the recommended and/or highly recommended ones as per the booklist?

hmm i found this info which might be interesting: this is for monash uni HD 5-10% of cohort (HD =80+) D next 10-20% of cohort (D=70-79) C next 25-30% of cohor (C = 60-69) and also, do they mark u harder in the assessments than in the exams in law? so to get a decent D (75)...

good points here....i will do

another thing i was wondering, how come i have never heard of a monash grad working in investment banking or management consulting, basically every one of these ppl i know of have grad from melb uni. i do know that monash apparently has IB and management consulting companies promote themselves...

i agree completely with existentialist. the location of monash/melb and ENTER scores from those who live near by is indeed a good point and one which i didnt think of before. in the end it is your marks/work exp that will hold u in good stead for the law firm jobs far more so than the uni u went to.

Re: new law model at melb uni also, i think that this will destroy that whole melb law > monash notion that is diminishing anyway yearly. this is because as i said above more of the 99ers will want to go to monash and students that miss out on 99 scores but want to do law will have this melb...

could ppl please give their opinion on this new proposed melb uni model for studying law. my opinion: i think that this new melb law model in which u only study post grad law and hence Bach of LLB is no longer existant will have a significant impact on law school trends in melb and monash...

well in my opinion which has been shaped due to countless ppl i have talked to whom have shared their experience, at the end of the day there is very little diff between monash and melb. the major concern for most is the prestege of melb over monash and ppl think that if they go to melb they...

thanks baiku for the advice, i will sure to see u at enrolment day on 24 Jan, i'll ask lots of questions so be prepared! haha how is that u can do so little work and still get a D average, from what i have heard D's in law are top 20% of the cohort. Does that mean not too many law students...

whoa that's a lot of money! what about working as a paralegal at a suburban firm? what would that be per hour?

for that Honk Kong one, do u have to be Chinese to get that intership?

hey what do summer/winter clerks at a mid and top level firms get in terms of wages?

yeah i will be employeed, try to work around 8 hrs of week and also i will be living on campus, so these r the 2 major factors for me that pose their own individual advantages and disadvantages

Re: Law Advice (marks) 4 a 1st year also, i know this might be a tedious question, but what marks range should i be aiming for (with some extra-cirricular stuff and hopefully an exchange overseas for a semester) to make me stand out and get interviews and be a good shot at the top 10 law firms...
