I heard there's been a mass exodus of lawyers from Fervent Chambers, anyone can confirm?

One of my peers from a delisted English uni just got a spot at LW London - once you get to interview stage no one here cares. So to any prospective law students out there, don't sweat the NUS/SMU rejection and/or feel free to reject their offers. Plenty of opportunities here don't bother trying to jostle with these folks in this tiny island.

Up.

My London managing partner is from a delisted uni. Nobody gives a **** once you're in work.

NUS for local recognition

KCL if you want to go outside this island. NUS has about as much reputation internationally as University of Leeds or Liverpool.

No?

NUS and SMU rep in Singapore is equal.

Overseas, NUS > SMU of course. SMU reputation overseas is that of a degree mill. You'd be better off doing a law degree at RMIT if you wanna go overseas.

Have to talk about overseas. What if domestic legal work dries up?
