Hello,Tue Mar 10, 2009 11:45 AM I think your job prospects in Australia wouldn't really increase with an LLM from a good Australian university. Most Australian law firms only take Australian-qualified lawyers and a LLM wouldn't assist in terms of gaining admission into the Australian legal profsesion... You should look at completing a LLB/JD if you are keen on obtaining employment. Do consider the visa implications as well :) Cheers, G |

I am an American Attorney from a top 10% law school. I'll be taking AU courses next term and then satisfying requirements to practice law in AU.Fri Aug 28, 2009 03:15 PM For Australian Lawyers, does anyone know: 1. ) How many hours per week does the average Australian attorney work? In the U.S., attorneys with private firms work from 60-80 hrs per week. Salaries are high. Attorneys with public agencies work 40 hours per week. Salaries are moderate. 2.) Does it differ based upon whether job is with a private firm or with a public Agency ? Does it differ based upon region of the Country ? In the US, East Coast attorneys work the longest hours. Same for AU? Many thanks ! |
