I think legalbeagle is at best from NUS law. These NUS people think that they are better than Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Yale etc. It is like a kid playing football at the void deck going up to Lionel Messi and proclaiming that he is a better player. No sense of shame. LMAO.

I think that he is probably some senior associate who cannot make partner. The reason why he cannot make partner is bloody obvious. 1 word : brainless.

Well, tbf, I think we are paid in sg international firm comparable to UK.

UK trainees have a longer training period. Their NQ is our 1-2 pqe.
They got tax also. Higher than us. We got CPF contribution from employer - that's an additional amount we conveniently never add - I don't think UK has that system?

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Default Comparing law schools is lame

I don't get the point of comparing law schools.

LegalBeagle and Ivy Lawyer obviously know their stuff, which strongly indicates that they've actually been to the top (be it working in an MC or a biglaw firm). Who cares if they're from Yale, Oxbridge, NUS/SMU, UCL/KCL/Durham, Aussie unis, whatever. I'm in this forum to learn from their experience, not compare law school dick sizes. I'm just grateful that they're actually bothering to share their information with all the toxic (and non-toxic) people here.

On a related note, I went to RI (not that it matters much), and I have classmates who are close to equally smart but who've gone to all sorts of law schools, ranging from the Aussie ones that you guys like to look down on so much, "second tier" UK unis like UCL, the standard NUS/SMU, Oxbridge, and even some with LLMs or JDs from Harvard/Columbia/NYU. I'd hate the idea of defining them by which law school they went to.

But you are defining them yourself.

Yup I'm defining the law schools, but not the people by the law schools that they attend(ed).

The prestige/quality of law school that one attends is kinda at best an imprecise snapshot of that person's capabilities at just one particular point in time. What you do after you graduate matters a lot too. And let's not get started on the luck/money factors that go into a person's choice of law schools.

Sardonically, one might ask: "Why does a Rolex hold more prestige than a Swatch, if the only purpose of a watch is to provide the observer a measure of time?"

The Rolex is the older brand, historically favoured by eminence and has the benefit of greater accuracy ( there could perhaps be dependence between these factors). As a result it commands the higher price and reputation.

In terms of a university education, the analogy of accuracy is a very important word: Rigour.

Given the nature of the observer, the level of rigour will matter. Some observers will not see this distinction necessary or fail to see it: these are the ordinary jobs. Other observers will be able to tell the difference: These are the higher level positions. A notable example is the legal profession.

If a person is facing a murder charge, is he more willing to entrust his life to a cambridge lawyer or Suss lawyer?
