what is the easiest Australian Law Course to get into?
I’m an Australian student who would really like to do law but my grades aren’t very high. Are their any Universities in Australia which have low admission requirements? I’ve heard that Bond is easy to get into. Are there any other law schools that aren’t too hard to get into. I’d be quite happy to live in any other state to study law.

Not really – law is hard to get into because everyone wants to get into it and there are only 80-100 places made available each year per course. If 80 people have higher grades than you and want to get into law – you will miss out.
Bond is easier as such to get into because it is a private university – you have to pay the fees up front. These are not HECS fees as such but private fees (on par with what international students pay to go to UQ). So expect to fork out around 100K in order to get your degree at Bond. That has to be paid before you graduate. The high fee is why mostly international students go to this uni and not local.

I think you should first up chat to a legal centre or a solicitor who does not charge for that first visit most law firms in Australia do this and they will refer you off to their experts to see if you have a case try Slater and Gordon ~~

Hi,
There seems to be some confusion in your question between criminal law matters and civil law matters. Extortion and blackmail are serious crimes that are usually classified as indictable. Such crimes would not usually have a ‘statute of limitations’ apply to them – prosecution is at the discretion of the Director of Public Prosecutions (or their equivalent in each State or Territory); it obviously depends upon whether the accused could have a fair trial and proper evidence could be obtained.
The limitation period of civil matters depends upon what area of law your claim is based: for example, is it contractual or tortious? I would suspect that a criminal act that gives rise to extortion would most likely be tortious.
Click on ‘Search’, then type ‘limitation’ as the phrase and select the radio button to ‘Search in title’. It is the Limitation Act 1969. You may have difficulty understanding which period applies unless you have a legal background.
Cheers & good luck.

What Is The Statue Of Limitations For Extortion In Australian Law?
New South Wales, to be exact.
It would also be great if you could post some references or links to Australian Law websites. xD
Thanks!

How does an English solicitor convert to American/Australian law?
I’m currently studying Law at a university in England, and am seriously considering a career as a solicitor.
I have always wanted to live abroad, either the US or Australia, but am wondering what impact an English LPC would have on my chances of doing this.
Hypothetically, how does one convert from English to Australian/American law? I assume this must be possible through some sort of conversion course?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure on the procedure for Australia but the U.S. is as follows:
To be eligible for the bar in the U.S. as a foreign attorney, a person must have completed 12-24 months of law school at an accredited law school in the U.S and obtained a J.D. (Jurist Doctor). The 12-24 months depends on if you have completed an LL.B. or an LL.M. in the U.K. The other prerequisites for the bar exam include a Professional Course with the state’s Bar Association and completion of the Multi-State Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE), which a minimum score is needed to pass. The score depends on the State.
Once the above is completed you are then eligible to sit the Bar Exam in your chosen state and again, a minimum score is required to pass. Once you do pass, you then take the oath and apply to the licensing body of the state.
The only state in the U.S. which allows LL.B. holders to sit the bar exam is New York and thus, that is where many go, but you will still be a lawyer with an LL.B. in a J.D. world and will find difficulty in seeking employment and will not be eligible to work outside of the State of New York.
To apply to a law school in the U.S. you will need to take the LSAT (Law Schools Admission Test). The LSAT is only given four times a year (June, October, December and February) and it is possible to take the LSAT in the U.K.
With regards to your law degree in the U.K, when you apply to a law school in the U.S. you will submit your school transcripts for evaluation using the LSAC JD Credential Assembly Service. This is so that your foreign transcripts can be evaluated and the U.S. equivalence of them can be determined to see if you are eligible for law school and if you are, then which year of law school you will be entering.
Don’t forget that to study in the U.S. at law school you will need an F1 (student) visa and another key note to remember is this; when you graduate with a J.D, pass all of the prerequisites for the bar, pass the bar exam, take the oath and are finally licensed, you will still not be legally permitted to work without the required H1B visa, for which a company must sponsor and petition you for.
Below are some links to help you.
