Everything u need to know about law school & legal career (Q&A) | UK & Malaysian law grad
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 чер 2024
- Imagine this, you just graduated high school at 17 & you didn't know what to study so u chose law to study for 5 years. Then you find out that you didn't like it and all when you actually go in to legal practice, working as a lawyer. IT'S OK! it's just a phase of life that everyone should go through. Rather spend 5 years of mistakes, than beign stuck at doing something you hate for the rest of you life just because you 'chose to study' law degree.
Anyways, here's my take on what I know about law school but bear in mind these are the information and knowledge that I had 2-3 years ago so some of the infos might have changed over the years so please change with your local university or legal peers.

Im a law student myself now. All i can say to students who r sitting for SPM and whos been planning to pursue law. The 1 major thing you should care for is, your PASSION in LAW field. Dont think about how being a Lawyer could provides you. But you should prioritize your PASSION. If only you have passion on something, then only you d be eager to strive hard for it. When u dont have interest in one thing, you d easily let loose yourself. Trust me.
For me, i ve been back n forth looking for my counselling teachers in school previously when i was seating for my SPM so many years back.. only to request for an aptitude and psychometric test so that i can see clearly the path which im more into. And it helps a lot since ive the general traits of smhw what a law/lawyer should ve had. Tell u what, my real ambition when i was 7 is to become a police officer, and im sticking to that until im in middle sch.. only to realize that one day i wanted to learn laws. Cause i love reading history, i love doing research, i love to investigate things to the depth of it.. hence im sticking to the dreams to learn Law and here i am finally doing law! ♥︎
Also, yes. I hv no other option left since im not good with maths even when i was in the primary’s 😂. I love science but w/o a good maths, i cant pursue with science! And honestly saying, i really wanted to do law, no peer pressure nothing. The intention just naturally grew in me! 😂. But ngl law is hard when u dont study or procrastinate things.
Hi. I believe there's some misunderstanding here. The minimum entry requirements for public law school is generally higher than private/oversea law school. If you're a Malaysian Chinese/non-bumi, you really need to excel in your academic results in order to secure a place in the public law school (most probably due to the quota system).
hi. pls respond back to me. i need someone to talk about what should i do or whether should i go into a law course. can you pls contact me ?
Accurate!!
Im doing my lawdeg in public uni and the non bumi really good at studying and majority of them got deanlist they are really smart!
No such thing la.. fyi pub uni for law sub have no race quotation they only have batch quotation for exmple if in UUM law stud only 100 per intake cannot be more… UM if im not mistaken its 120 and UKM around 100 too bcs professional courses our government put quotation for intake and one more thing i want to highlight for u guys pnya infomation hahaha law student at public uni most of them are non malay. MOST OF THEM IS CHINESE AND THEY DEM GOOD AND ACTIVE TOO MOST OF THEN ARE DEANLIST STUD FOR EVRY SEM AND VERY ACTIVE IN LAW SOCIETY!.
great content!! thank you a lottttt

Thank you Ivor 😍
HI, I'm a American undergrad student that definitely wants to go to school in Europe or the England to become a solicitor and wanted to do LLB as well and I was wondering if you could answer a few questions that would help me out a lot. Is England like America where you have to go to the top 14 law schools in the country to be a successful solicitor that makes good money? And what matters the most get into a really good English law school, like in America it's LSAT, GPA, personal statement and then internships, what is most important to get into a really good English Law School? I know my credits would transfer as an undergrad degree and my GPA is good so what else should I focus on refining for my application? Thank you so much and loved the video and Congratulations on your successes thus far and for sharing !!! ❤🧡
Hi, can you please vlog about : UK luggage - can & can’t pack, weight requirement ect… preparations for the 1st week stay, ect. Tq
This is so accurate in so many levels!!!!
haha hello my relatable legal peers
Hey cantik
Ur English is so good. 😍Could u share some tips to improve English bcs English is kinda difficult for me and now lots of career need English😭
Thanks for answering my question in this Video.
What if you pass BPTC in the UK can you be enrolled as a lawyer without sitting any further exams in Malaysia?
Like in our 🇧🇩 no matter what you have passed before but to be a lawyer in BD (advocate) you have to pass the Bangladesh Bar Council exam. So, in our country, people become a barrister from the UK just to achieve the title (Barristter) and then they again sit in the Bangladesh Bar Council Exam if he/she wants to practice as a lawyer in Bangladeshi Court🇧🇩.
Malaysians dont need to sit extra papers to be qualified, they straight away do Pupillage.
thank u sm ❤️❤️❤️

hey I love your vids ! I have a question, did you took science stream or arts stream for this law course?
Either one is fine. But that doesn’t mean if you aren’t a science stream student you cant do law. Even if you took art stream you can still do law.
Hey Ivor, I really appreciate your advice here. About the minimum requirements for law school/ law university (is the same? lol yea right.) I just got my A levels result today literally an hour ago, I was feeling quite dejected because I got BCC for a levels. Do all universities want all As and Bs? what about me, a BCC? is there still hope ? I mean I still want to take law degree regardless because financially I am funding myself for it but I do want to know will any decent universities could take me in? I would love your opinion in this. I know you said you got grades even Cs and Ds in the video but im kinda unsure whether even decent universities will take me for Law
Is it a must for us to take eu law as our final year module in order to take bptc?
I’m so afraid that there is no any dislike on this video , that’s mean it’s do true 😂
I love the part when she said
I’d rather lose 5 years than the rest of my life doing something I don’t like
UA-cam has already turn off the dislikes counts for public to view. It is only seeable by the content creators!
Thanks
Omg it is true. Even myself a Malay can't get ANY scholarship just because I got B+ for my english. Like everything else is A. Then why making just one subject a issue. So I just got FAMA(father and mother) scholarship. I continue my study in ACCA at sunway. Thank God sunway give me some waiver. Even I apply for UPU the course i got also need to pay because my parents salary already over the limit of waiver for fees. So I'm just like you pergi swasta or private sama jer both also need to pay.

Hi.. Can we discuss some legal issues about divorce case at here, if it feasible for you? .....
Can An international law student of the uk become a Barrister in the Uk?
😌Last week another old lawyer told me that they took only RM 300 during their past pupillage period while "he/she" was trying to consider how much "he/she" should give pupil. Therefore, I think pupils in Malaysia should be grateful to take an allowance lessor than the poverty line/ minimum wages while being scolded (maybe) or being treated as a cheap labour of the firm without learning much practical knowledge. It is damn funny & toxic.
I just wondering what if i wanna be a lecturer of law instead of a lawyer? What i have to do then? Do i have to study until phD?? I just have way tooo manyyy questions ksjdjdndndb and also do i need to go through the “chambering” process also???
No need. All of my law lecturers some of them only have degree which means ur LLB ticket. If you just wanted to be a law lecturer, then it is not necessary for you to seat for CLP exam.
Hey Ivor，just to make sure.So it's 2+1(in the uk) and another year in the uk for bar course?
yes
@@IvorXianZ is it optional?
@@raymus6276 to be a a lawyer, MUST. to be only a law grad, optional
@@IvorXianZ Alright，thanks a lot
Not hard for non malay to get jpa sponsorship to study overseas u just need to get straight A... Tht is the requirements for evryone i guess. ..🤣
