Why? NUS law in the past few years award 10% fch every year. Practically everyone else gets a 2:1. Only a small minority gets 2:2.
There is a glut. You connect the dots.
All these exclude connections. If you use connections, you may come from a degree mill and still be employed. |
Absolutely untrue. Getting into international firms requires a 2:1 and making it though their (non-academic) gauntlet of interviews and tests.
There is no glut of lawyers globally. US firms are paying USD 50k sign on bonuses. Business is booming in London and Dubai. HK always needs lawyers who can read and write Mandarin (and who can put up with their shitty working conditions and COL).
Stop spreading bitterness.
