Are there any such universities? Did I say that there are any?

You just said there are "all kinds of universities" in supporting your statement about colour and religion, implying that there are universities like that. So which universities do that?

In the context of my various statements, if you read them carefully, and word for word, you will realize that I did not imply anything.Wed Dec 12, 2007 09:11 PM For e.g. by way of illustration, some universities say in their admission policies in their brochures that they do not discriminate on grounds of race, creed ....and so on! Are you therefore also saying or suggesting that these universities are ( like me ) also implying that they are universities which are discriminatory? Sure not. It only reflects this particular university's own policy . Be sensible though. If a university really wants to discriminate, and reject a student say on race or creed or so on, it need not say so on these grounds. It can justify the rejection by saying the student did not pass the interview and so forth but avoid mentioning those sensitive words of race or creed. Simply put, if a university really wants to admit someone who may not qualify the admission requirements, it can justify the admission based on 101 reasons. Conversely, if they don't want to admit the particular student, they need to give only one reason. When I say there are " all kinds of universities" by giving you a poser, can you vouch that all universities practise open admission policies? Surely not. How and who are you to vouch? Perhaps that will answer your query. |

So are you now saying that your comment about skin colour or religious prejudice was irrelevant? Thu Dec 13, 2007 12:07 AM How do you know that NUS does not discriminate on race and religion in their admissions process, compared to other universities who do? What kind of non-open admission policies do other universities have? |

Hey Rogue, thanks for demonstrating your rhetorical abilities, but this is starting to get boring...

Come on now, give the guy a chance. He might have something to say about affirmative action or religious funded (whether Christian or Islamic or other) universities/colleges, maybe even the gender divide or any number of issues. It was disappointing to see back-pedalling and inconsistency.

I am an Indian, and have received a confirmed admission from MLS for Master of Commercial Laws. However, I have also secured an admission at Georgetown Law School too. Now I am pity confused. Its like....I really dont have a hard n fast rule of just wanting to work in US, but then I feel that a US law school degree would always be an added advantage. ( Not taking anything away from MLS....which of corse is a place where I would luv to go).Tue Jan 15, 2008 06:33 AM I am pity fond of Australia, but then I ve got to take this call solely from a career point of view. I wish to try n gain some overseas work ex (preferably in Australia iself) before I return to my home country. I was wondering whether I could get all possible inputs and advise on this specially with regard to MLS. Can I get some suggestions as to where I can read much more abt MLS... the studies...professors..career prospects...job scenes for International students...placements... and of corse.....the campus life. Also will the MLS LLM degree hold good value in the Asian ever growing legal market ? Cheers. |

Dear Lawmann,Sat Feb 23, 2008 03:02 AM I am a lawyer with LLB and long time of practicing experience in American companies in China. I also have the intention to move to Australia starting with LLM and JD/LLB study there. I have learned a lot from the posts above. But concerning to the legal practicing requirement in Australia, I am still confused. What does Priesly 11 mean, is that some sort of couse study, how long will it take? Could I regard that full education with JD/LLB, then certificate with Priesly 11 will be enough to be qualified to pracitice in Aus? How about the legal career prospect in Aus as a foreigner? Or, if it is too complicated or hard to get the qualification to work as a lawyer in Aus, how about the transfer to US after the degree of LLM in Aus? As to myself, I do appreciate the beaufitul scenery and mild weather of Aus, but working in US seems more feasible. Many thanks for any reply and Have a nice day! GHP |
