I hold 5 years B.A.LLB(Hons) and pursuing my LLM Degree (1 year). I am currently looking out the scope of opportunities in Abroad and have narrowed it down to Australia or Canada. I'm keen on understanding the dynamics and applicability of practicing law in these countries, and I'm particularly interested in Australia. Instead of pursuing a Juris Doctor, I'm considering completing the Priestly 11 and Legal Practitioner training to see if this would suffice for securing decent job opportunities in Australia.
Whilst for Canada it is the NCA exam and furtherance . I would greatly appreciate for insights in Australia and whether instead of doing a Juris Doctor, Would just me pursuing the Priestly 11 and Legal Practitioner training suffice for getting into decent jobs . As I consider doing JD would be too tedious to do again
Please understand that my intention is not to convey any negativity towards working here in India.
