Anyone going to CUHK?
Hi, many thanks for your exp. sharing. Would like to know, is that FT also study in the same class with PT students? That's mean there is no morning class? For FT, is that most of the classes or all classes being held in Central, not in CUHK campus? As I am thinking to study JD or LLB? Although JD only require shorter duration to complete, JD is rel. quite expensive with gov. grant support while LLB has. Any sharing would be delighted?

FTs do not study with PTs. For part-time students, classes will be held on weekday evenings and Saturday afternoons. Evening classes will typically commence at 6.30 pm and conclude at 9.15 pm. Saturday classes will typically commence at 2.30 pm and conclude at 5.15 pm. FT classes will be during weekdays during the day. Fri Apr 18, 2008 06:19 AM Secondly, it doesn't matter if you are FT or PT JD/LLM as all postgraduate law classes are held in Central and not in the CUHK Shatin campus. LLBs will have classes in Shatin. Although the law library is in Shatin, we have a smaller law library in Central as well. Regarding JD vs. LLB, if you already have an undergraduate degree, I believe that they will disqualify you since they will ask you to apply to the JD instead as that's what happened when I applied to both programs previously, I was not considered for the LLB as they noted I already have a degree. Possibly, the reasoning is that they cannot justify giving someone who already has a degree another UGC funded space where there are many other qualified applicants who are recent secondary school graduates. However, I believe cityu may allow you to take LLB, irregardless of whether you have a first degree or not. Have you heard back from CUHK regarding the JD programme? |

Hi, in fact, I have received the enrollment confirmation for PT JD. I also asked them before whether I can choose LLB, they also suggested me the same thng as yours. But, I am still thinking. As you are the experienced student, may I have your email contact?

Anyone going to CUHK?
Hi Guys,Thu May 15, 2008 07:10 PM I've got an urgent question about LLMs in HK and I was hoping to leech off the popularity of this post. At present I've taken a gap year partly due to the new conversion exams in Hong Kong, before starting the PCLL and the training contract afterwards. It only recently came to my attention the possibility of doing an LLM in the gap year whilst also preparing for the conversion exams and as such I've already missed the deadlines for HKU and quite possibly for CUHK (apparently there are only a few spaces left and they offer it on a rolling basis so its hard to be sure). That leaves CityU LLM. Do you guys think its worth doing the CityU LLM if I intend to work in HK/China in the future (albeit I have already secured a training contract)? On one hand some friends have said an LLM is better than nothing at all, on the other hand, others have said having an LLM from a 'not as good university' (with all due respect to those at City U - I personally do not think I have enough knowledge about the comparative ratings within the three law offering universities) will not be perceived well in the eyes of future employers, should I wish to change jobs later on. What are your opinions on this? Any help would be much much appreciated. |

Hello everyone,Sun Jun 29, 2008 05:39 AM Just wondering if anyone knows about the lawyer-licensing-process differences between Canada and HK. In terms of the PCLL changes, which one is easier? -- doing law in HK and then practising in Cda or doing law in Cda and practising in HK? Thanks! |
