We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
Only 4.6% of TCs are awarded to graduates from non-UK, universities. Iām guessing the US, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong and Canada would outnumber India here and Indian universities would probably get just about 1% at most, nosing ahead of New Zealand and South Africa . In contrast, just 10 or 12 Russell Group universities get nearly 75% of all TCs. Even non-Russell Group universities like Sussex or UEA get 1% of all TCs each, which is perhaps more than all NLUs combined!
So why do LI readers repeatedly discourage those doing LLBs in the UK with sarcastic comments and insist that it is better to study at NLUs, even GLC? Is it just jealousy from 18-25 year olds (the majority demographic on LI) or genuine pearls of wisdom from experienced lawyers? Further, after obtaining a UK LLB one can do a bridge course from an NLU or stay on in the UK and train as a barrister. And one can still pursue options like an MBA, LLM/PhD etc.
So why the hate exactly?
