Accounting & Law (modified 0 times) Kong Hi. Beside Australian double degree like Accounting & Law that typically took 5yrs in Australia, would it be possible for a local Malaysian student to go get a 1st local degree in Accounting and then do a Master of Law specialising in business law? If yes, then where, how and time needed? Thanks. 12 Mar, 2006 22:43:22

RE:Accounting & Law (modified 0 times) Guru Twin law degree is the trend for Australia and New Zealand. You can get good information from the relevant law school websites. Your proposal is just a no no situation. How can one go for a master degree in law without going through the basics in law? 13 Mar, 2006 10:27:29

RE:Accounting & Law (modified 0 times) lawyer typically for a masters degree you require an undergraduate degree in the same discipline. If you want a masters in law, you must have an undergraduate in law (either a diploma in law or degree in law). 13 Mar, 2006 20:10:06

RE:Accounting & Law (modified 0 times) kong Thanks. I thought so but was told by someone else that it's possible to do Master without basic law first. Hence my query earlier. How about correspondent course law degree without the intention to practice as lawyer? Just a law degree certificate specializing in commercial law so as to enhance main profession as accountant or as accountant career enhancement? Thanks again. 14 Mar, 2006 13:45:23

RE:Accounting & Law (modified 0 times) lawyer There are 'Masters Degrees' and Doctoral Degrees like the Melbourne Juris Doctor or JD which is not really a doctoral degree but an immitation of the American concept which is apost graduate degree non lawyers can take and trhen satisfy the admission to practice as lawyers in Australia. Other universities in Australia also now offer such courses including the University of Sydney which offers the Diploma in Law which qualifies you to practice law. It can also be taken externally. However since your question is Malaysian specific I can't advice. Good luck. 14 Mar, 2006 17:04:14

RE:Accounting & Law (modified 0 times) Kheng You want to have a master degree in law in the shortest time by skipping through the bachelor degree in law. You do not want to understand the basic in law. Your motive is clearly to show off yourslef as a "learned" lawyer to con the uninitiated. Buy your degree would suit you fine. For a little more money, you can also buy your doctorate!!! You will be the most learned man in your kampung. 20 Mar, 2006 17:07:38

RE:Accounting & Law (modified 0 times) kong Did you read this sentence? "How about correspondent course law degree without the intention to practice as lawyer?" It's VERY CLEARLY stated that the aim is to know more of commercial law WITHOUT THE INTENTION TO PRACTISE AS LAWYER. Which part of the English language don't you understand and start barking like a rabid dog, kheng? Idiot! 20 Mar, 2006 19:56:42

RE:Accounting & Law (modified 0 times) Kheng You have made so much contribution in giving your legal opinions to forum. You are by far over qualified to be a law professor. You do not need to take up a basic degree or buy a doctorate certificate. Your Kampung folks would not know any difference whether you are a saint or scum. 21 Mar, 2006 13:14:32

RE:Accounting & Law (modified 0 times) kong Using you as an yardstick, yes, any Dick, Tom or Harry and 3 years old can be an law professor with better manners. 21 Mar, 2006 21:54:12

RE:Accounting & Law (modified 0 times) Baba Kong: "Using you as an yardstick, yes, any Dick, Tom or Harry and 3 years old can be an law professor with better manners." "an" law professor should be "a" law professor; "Dick, Tom or Harry" is commonly expressed as "Tom, Dick and Harry". 22 Mar, 2006 01:25:12

RE:Accounting & Law (modified 0 times) kong Thanks for the English lesson. But anyway, as I said very clearly before, I wasn't talking about practicing as a lawyer but only wanting to know more about commercial law. And in this case, don't intend to be an English professor either. Some idiot doesn’t know the distinction between practicing and merely wanting to know more about law and with bad manner to boot. 22 Mar, 2006 08:47:15

RE:Accounting & Law (modified 0 times) Baba Stop showing yourself as a fool, Kong. You wanted to get a master degree in law specialising in commercial law without going through the bachelor law degree. This is as absurb as wanting to be a auditor without learning accountancy. You wanted to passing off yourself as a learned law expert while you cannot write English properly. 28 Mar, 2006 14:43:42
