Which law school is better ?....modules or leauge tables?


nishant

To Interalia,

Hey thanks for the Post. Yeas Indeed , you are right , that this post is different. As , most of students are concerned about the leauge tables. and all . But then yeah reputation is one big thing for graduate school altogether and so is a good faculty , and good modules. A mix of practical exposure in the course content, and yeah,
Thanks a lot for the 's'pore review." Also , i think Lawyers in Common law jurisdiction having a two years legal expertise. are called to join the bar, whithout much emphasis on Schedule law schools. It applies to me as such , Being an Attorney , with the Bar in India.

So people lets have Ideas about getting training contracts in law firms. Especially in the area you want to practice.
Mostly i see 'Asia' - the emerging markets , as the one which will drive the world economy. The devloped economies of Uk and US , Eu are having 'Recession' ...But economies like China and India (Lets say Bric nation's, are not facing that at all.).There are talks about Indian Firm TATA acquiring 'jaguar and LAnd Rover. , Acquistion of Largest African Telecom by An Indian Firm.
The point of saying this is Asia , will be driving force.

So lastly , lets turn the topic , and discuss , What are the factors which will increase your employbility in the Job MArket.
In law Firms , or in Corporations, Off-shore Banking. I have been following threads and have been intimidated that people are still searching for that dream job - after having 2:1 from a Top leauge university in UK.
The matter is after you graduate , you have to inherit with the Degree, Student Debts and ....looking for a job. In worst case scenario, you are not getting that job ,after graduating with a 'Distinction' how bad is that ?

I will only comment on this quote. Unfortunately, you are mistaken. Yes, previously lawyers with a 2nd lower foreign degree FROM THE SCHEDULED UNIVERSITIES could only qualify for the bar if they had a 2nd years work experience in a foreign common law jurisdiction. They still however needed to graduate from one of the approved universities, this is not optional. Recently legislation has been introduced to allow 2nd lowers from the approved universities to sit for the bar without the 2 year work experience requirement, still the approved universitiy requirement applies The only way out of this is obtain an exemption from the Minister of Law, which if I remember correctly will only be granted if you can bring some tangible benefit to Singapore. I would imagine that you must show that you are able to bring substantial legal business to Singapore as a lawyer or be hired as a professor in Singapore in order to circumvent the requirement.

You don't have to take my word for it. It's all here.
