ouch! I thought I can meet someone here for my interview..well ,I think black shirt will be ok. I can't imagine how the other shirt looks like, so better wear dark. Look more formal and pro..I'm going to Cbu tomorrow..huh...'qingming'..
I didn't see any law course offer by JPA..Are you taking social science? Because Law is sub-subject under social science..That is what I got from Wiki..

[crazy91]

HI...
i'm from Johor n i'm also applying LAW...
haha..i'm so scared...my interview will be on this thursday...
wish me luck,ok....

wat do u think they will ask to the law applicants and which country are all of u interested to go?UK and AUSTRALIA will be my choices but i prefer to go to UK as many people say UK is the best country for our field.

[Langzhongyue]

initially, i phoned to the JPA hotline, they also said that law is under social science
however, my senior advised me not to believe them
as every year will appear in the option suddenly
i decided to believe my senior
and three days after the starting day of application
LAW really suddenly appeared in the list and option
so i apply for law
not under social science

[senksiang90]

Well, just wanna tell u guys sthg.. for JPA law they'll normally send to 2 places only UK or Australia. Difference is if u go Australia, you'll be taking SAM and if u go UK, u'll be doing A levels. Another major difference is UK studies the English Legal System & Australia studies the Australian Legal System. Well, I can tell u guys a little about English Law as I'm taking Law as one of my subjects for A levels-well, that is if u really wanna know-

*NOTE:To Kuchingnians taking interview don't forget to try out the teh c peng special at the cafe at the Pustaka Negeri. RM 2 only and it totally rox and can get you totally addicted to it!!!! One of the best in Kuching!!

[Langzhongyue]

then can you tell us the basic of english legal system
so that we can answer the question of interviewers
thanks

[Ling24]

I aply for law too!!!
my interview is on 2 April at 2:00p.m.
I'm from Kedah. Is there any1 that same with me???

I want to ask that will the interviewers ask us question about law????????
Can any1 tell me?????:wtf

[senksiang90]

Bwahahhaa... I don't think they'll even ask a question about English Law.. LOL... hmmm so wad do u want me to tell about?? Well, generally, there are two types of court proceedings. The first is through Criminal Proceedings and the other is the Civil proceedings.

In Criminal process, generally, it will be handled by the CPS(Crown Prosecution Service)-headed by the Director of Public Prosecution(DPP). That's why u will see cases such as C v DPP. Because it's a criminal proceeding. Well, firstly, the defendent will be brought to the Magistrates for EAH(Early Administrative Hearing) to be decided on what level of offence his crime is. There are three levels. From the lowest is summary offences, followed by triable either way and lastly indictible offences. Well, this is the basic of Criminal Law i guess..

As for Civil proceedings, it will be started by a claimant by filling up the 'Claim Form' first. Then, the other defendent have three options which is to (1) admit the claim (2) answer the claim (3) File a defence. This must be done within 14 days or else it will be considered JID(Judgement In Default). Well, in civil cases pre-action protocols will be taken ADR(Alternative Dispute Resolution) will be encouraged. If this doesn't works, then only the courts will listen to the case. From the lowest, cases can be classified to 3 tracks, Small Claim, Fast Track and Multi Track.

Ok, i think i'll stop here.. this is the basics i guess u guys should know.. haha!!!

walau e.......y r u so excellent???u're seem knowing everything in every field...

[senksiang90]

walau e.......y r u so excellent???u're seem knowing everything in every field...

Dude, I'm not excellent. I only reply to topics which I I know that's why it seems like I know a lot.. But the fact is that I'm not all that great.

Besides, this is really the basic of English Law... can't get any simpler than this once u study english legal system.

One thing u should ask urself first. Where do u want to practice law? Is it in UK or Malaysia? If u practice law in UK, one thing u should know is that there's a separate body of law there. Once is known as a solicitor and the other is a barrister. UK is now still in a transition to combining both bodies into one entity.

Well, the difference between solicitors and barristers is that solicitors normally do paper job only. This in a way means that u don't get to talk in court. Instead, u'll meet up with clients and collect all necessary evidence for either defence or prosecution. And once u've filed up all the docs, u have to find a barrister to fight out the case in court.

Hwever, with new rules now, there are solicitors who are given what we call 'Rights of Audience' whereby these special Solicitors can practice both paper work or advocacy.

Barristers on the other hand are normally for those at 'their-own-class'. Most are high standard and only dine among themselves.Most likely if u do law in UK, u'll have a basic law degree which allows u to be like a solicitor in UK but as a normal lawyer in Malaysia.-correct me if I'm wrong here, my guess at this point-

Anyway, being a lawyer is seriously not like in the movie whereby they argue out cases all the time. You have to remember there are also land lawyers, business lawyers, will lawyers, so many more types for you to chose!! So, you don't have to be good at debating to be a lawyer. You just have to have the interest, and ability to reason out that's all. So far, one year of law has taught me that the law is so wide, ambiguous, and there's no right or wrong at all in it.

So, knowing all these, ask urself now this question. Are you still interested in law knowing that u don't have to be a 'squawkbox' all the time?? LOL

[alyssa30691]

I aply for law too!!!

Hi Ling! my interview is at the same place(SP), same date and same time! Nice to meet you!
Hope to see you there!:))
Yeah, will the interviewers ask us questions about the law??
I'm so nervous right now!!!

[anislutfi]

just got back from the interview:

these were the questions:
1) do you think facebook and friendster is a must to youngsters??

the first and second guy were like saying yes its a must and gave out their points and all. it was okay and impressive. but i wanted to make my answer one of a kind, you know? so i started with.

me: you know, i dont think facebook is a must only to youngsters. its a must to older people as well.
panel: yes i do agree. like i have facebook as well.

so i got my first point, well, kinda, haha. dont know if it was that impressive or anything. i finished my answer by stating almost all the applications in facebook just to prove my point. see? thank god i have facebook haha :D

2) crimes commited to children are increasing each day. whats your take on this? what do you think everyone should do to prevent this?

the first guy and the last girl said something like parents should be more careful and stuff. and like they are more at fault, you know? my opinion is that, the PENALS, i bet theyre parents and i dont think they would like to be blamed for these things especially from us, who have never been parents bah.

and the 2nd guy was impressive. hes applying for engineering btw, so its no wonder he suggested having a GPS located in phones and stuff. i mean, when you have so many eyes staring at you, its hard to think of that, you know? but he did. TABIK. :D

me: i dont think most parents are to blame. like, how many beribu they say something, halang their kids to do things and stuff. teenagers and kids would still want to do their things their own way. so my take is, that we should show them the effects of talking to strangers and do this dangerous stuff. dont just tell them anymore. show them. do something to them. so that theyll really know. and i have to agree on his take abt the TELCO thing. its quite good. but still, phones can be just thrown anywhere. you still can lose the location.

and the rest was like, what if we give you this course? what if we send you here? and stuff. so thats abt it. good luck everyone.

and in case, the name of AG of malaysia is ABDUL GANI PATAIL haha :D

[andromedaEtchize]

sorry for the late post,i should post it last night but my internet connection went gila last night.

my group was the last group on panel 2 that was interview.
20 people per panel,but at my panel yesterday,3 people didn't come for that interview.
and there was 7 of us in that group instead of the normal 5.
so we went inside the room around 4.30 and finish around 5.45 to 6.
the people in my group are all doing differnt kind of courses.
i'm the only one in my group who's applying for law.the rest all applied for engineering,accounts and actuarial.

the first part of the interview was done completely in malay.a boy in my group did ask to do the first part of the interview in english,but the panel didn't let him to do so.the first part is the introduction.just talk about yourself,family background,koko activities and so on.and they will ask you why you want to do law and why you chose to study for example in the UK.

the second part of the interview was done in english.the question was 'does a person academic excellence in school and university will reflect on the person success in his working life.my panel gave us 5 minutes to discuss about this.and that's it,they only asked us two questions.

my friends in another panel was asked about how to promote malaysia and why should the JPA sponsor students to study overseas during the recessions.

i think i did quite good in my interview.but i would prefer if the interview was done in english all the way.i'm a malay but my malay is not that good because who often you speak the 'bahasa malaysia baku' anyway?

wish you all good luck and don't panic ok.the panels won't eat you la

[darina4srk]

thank you so much for writing ur experience as my interview will be held tomorrow afternoon,, 2.45 pm. so, i gess it should end around 4 pm right? what did u answer for the ques like why do u choose law? i mean, i have that interest in law but it seems that i can't put it into words. you're lucky, to be the only in ur group to choose law. did they ask anything about law? e.g how many types of law there is or blablabla...did they ask u guys about jpa? regarding the coco activities, do we talk about our involvement in coco since form 1 or form 4?

[anislutfi]

trust me. i cant put it into words either. but i told them, i have liked reading law-related stuff since forever. i dont necessarily want to become a lawyer. but i do want to talk abt law. i do want to write abt law and all those stuff. i told them i love memorizing all the AKTA'a haha which was pretty funny. i was the only one who applied law too in my group. honestly i think there arent too many people who are applying for law. there are 2000 scholarships that are given away, haha. so good luck to you guys. they didnt ask anything abt law. i think most panels give the same questions to each person in that certain group. so dont worry. if youre not the first candidate in the group, youll have more time to think. but if youre the last, well, do expect for your ideas to be taken by the others before you. i think they expect to talk abt your coco activities since form 4 only. and no, they didnt ask abt jpa. but just be prepared because you might never know. :D. GOOD LUCK. :DD

[Lonely91]

lolx.. thanks for the insightful advices ,senksiang.. I think I would prefer a solicitor to a barrister >.<.. entering the corporate world has always been my ambition.. doing paper work, handling will, advicing a corporation is so much more challenging than prosecuting a murderer... that's what I feel..

[senksiang90]

there's no solicitor-barrister system in Malaysia.

[Glassylicious]

Most of the questions here have already been answered so I will just add one more thing to the topic: Remember that you haven't even started doing Law at university level yet, so don't expect tough Law questions about how the courts work, what a barrister/solicitor is, legal acts and statutes, etc. Don't stress out about that; you're a lot better off brushing up on your general knowledge and current issues.

Oh yeah, and remember that Law is a highly academic degree, NOT a professional one. For the professional bit you'll need to sit for the CLP paper.

[Joveen]

there's no solicitor-barrister system in Malaysia. >.<.. pardon my ignorance .. haha.. nvr really done any research on that...all I know about law is.. a set of rules and regulations which everyone must abide by .. that's all.. nothing more.......guess glassy is right too.. no point stressing out for something I have yet to know.. thanks ..am lazing at home >.<.. help me to kick off this habit !

[senksiang90]

Oh yeah, and remember that Law is a highly academic degree, NOT a professional one. For the professional bit you'll need to sit for the CLP paper.

Are u sitting for ur CLP anytime soon?

[Glassylicious]

Are u sitting for ur CLP anytime soon?

I?m not even through with my first year in university. Might go back to Malaysia for the CLP or to work off the bond if I get called for the job. But otherwise, I?m shooting for summer internships at London law firms during vacation time, which lays the foundation for getting hired at said firm.

[SapphireDragon]

Hey, why there are no more people chattin about JPA law?

[Boyz_Zoo]

Hey, why there are no more people chattin about JPA law?
All of them are chatting at JPA thread. Don't worry. Trying to push them to their respective course so, that there will be more facts than spams.

[SapphireDragon]

Law, law, law anyone? Please debate here and polish your dashing oratary prowess!!!

Law, law, law anyone? Please debate here and polish your dashing oratary prowess!!!

[SapphireDragon]

Ya. Why? U know me?

[Boyz_Zoo]

Ya. Why? U know me?
In your interview, there is another one applying for law besides you right?

[SapphireDragon]

In your interview, there is another one applying for law besides you right?

Errr, no. Mine is Panel A. Around 9 I think. I'm the only one applying law in the group. Another recomer in my group is eugenetoh91

[Boyz_Zoo]

Errr, no. Mine is Panel A. Around 9 I think. I'm the only one applying law in the group. Another recomer in my group is eugenetoh91
Ok, then wrong person. As a friend of mine who attended the interview stated two person who applied for law did very well in the interview in his panel.

[SapphireDragon]

Wahhhh, since when so many people apply for law? i thought its an arts subject and many people will go for the traditional medicine.

[Ling24]

is it a usual case for a science stream student to apply law???bcos when i tell my teacher that i apply for law, they tell me that if i want to become a lawyer then i should change to art stream in the first place. is it true?

[ash91]

1. You don't need to have done law in your pre-uni years at all to qualify for a Law degree. She can do a purely science A levels and still get accepted into a Law program. My A levels was Bio, Chem, Math and Psychology.

2. Law as a degree course has absolutely no prerequisites whatsoever, so she can do whatever she likes before applying for Law in university.

3. Studying Law in A levels will not really give you that much of a headstart once you start doing your actual degree.

4. If she still wishes to do Law, Taylor's also offers Law, and she may be qualified for full scholarship if she gets 11A1's, or 10A1's for her SPM, depending on how many subjects she chooses to take.


i think this can help you.:))
although this one specifically imply about a-level,i think it is applicable too in your case.

[Glassylicious]

Yep. =) Glad to know that people have been reading.

In addition to that, science students have an advantage as well because their science classes teach them to reason and think critically, which is a valuable skill when reading Law in university.

[Langzhongyue]

hehe...i am also a science stream student but my dream is to become a lawyer......
erm....i think there are less than 10 ppl who apply for law in my interview centre

[SapphireDragon]

is it a usual case for a science stream student to apply law???bcos when i tell my teacher that i apply for law, they tell me that if i want to become a lawyer then i should change to art stream in the first place. is it true?
Wow, glad to know there are quite a few recomers applying law. Hey, who says science students can't apply law? i did think of changing o the art stream but I guess I' just too curious to know more bout science and gain that exposure. I also didn't want to sacrifice my education with arts stream teachers who are not THAT good. Not trying to criticies anyone here, but sadly its the case in Malaysia that arts stream studnets are tend to be looked down and the good teachers will teach science classes Sorry if I offend any arts student here.

i agree with you. in my school, the art stream students are always 'abandoned' by the teachers. quite not fair...

[Boyz_Zoo]

i agree with you. in my school, the art stream students are always 'abandoned' by the teachers. quite not fair...
What to do? People nowadays only see your grade regardless to your attitude and so on. Thank to our education system. Where is the part all students are treated equally by the teachers?

[SapphireDragon]

In other countries, arts stream is treated equally well. why the segregation of science and arts students in terms of the quality of education and the image from the public? When u tell a man on the street or yur uncles that u choose arts stream, they will surely formed a negative impression immediately. This is what Malaysia is.

[Langzhongyue]

initially...i really did think to study in art stream
but my parents and relatives not allow

hahahaha
in malaysia.....
teacher always think that only the student in science stream want to study
and the students in art stream
are 'rubbish'(seriously)

[SapphireDragon]

sorry for budging in.:P.hehe.usually we are sent to taylor`s college for law if i`m not mistaken.that`s seems to be the case with last year`s jpa law scholars.:))
check on the JPA LAW thread.(last year`s one):))

[senksiang90]

I do have friends being sent to UK for law last year... but if u are coming to Taylor's u are most probably learning Australian Legal System under SAM... I cannot tell u guys much about ALS since I learnt English legal System..

Oh i see. If i were to study A levels, which college will i be sent to?? I heard there is a college called KOLEJ TEKNOLOGI TIMUR which some law applicants were sent to.

And how about our hostel? Do we have our own hostel?? Or we have to find it on our own.

[senksiang90]

You guys must be thinking that I'm greedy. But its just that, i wanted to go UK so badly...cause law in UK is better compared to Aus...(am i right?)

I know I shouldn't grumble.. I would have to accept the fact. :oh

[senksiang90]

Erm... well, after what I studied from the English Legal System about the UK law, I find it quite enjoyable yet torchering in a way that there's no right or wrong answers.. i didnt touch anything about Australian Legal System so i am not so sure.. i only study certain cases from ALS in Contract Law though... but yeah.. the highest degree for law is indeed from UK, but dude, cheer up man. Look at the bright side!! You should be thankful that u got this scholarship which many people failed to get it!

[WallJ]

hi everyone, as a jpa law student currently doing SAM at taylor's, i wish those australian-bound scholars all the best. Hopefully you will 'enjoy' SAM.... haha....anyway, i am sure you will get through it. Just make sure you all are motivated and highly spirited to do the program.

[bros103]

'SAM' is formally known as South Australian Matriculasion. But as a scholar, who taking SAM... it would have other names which better suited it... find it out and you will be shocked...!!!

[WallJ]

yaya....guess what....there are two. 'Study Atau Mati' (SAM) and the more suitable and prominent one, 'Self-Abuse Matriculation'(SAM)......not to scare you all. But just to help you all understand a bit about SAM. Good Luck!!

[senksiang90]

SAM is not that bad.. it's easier compared to CAL. Much easier.. particularly it's nearly impossible not to pass SAM under JPA unless u r really playing a fool..

[WallJ]

CAL is not easy, indeed. But SAM is no less stressful than CAL. I am not so sure about A-level. But for SAM, we have to be prepared to face tonnes of assignments and tests during the whole course. So, it is not so appropriate to say SAM is easy. For one to understand how stressful SAM is, one would have to come and experience himself.

yea, we not only sit for exam like CAL do. SAM and CAL are different system, we cant blindly compare them.

[Tzezumi]

Yo, JPA student here taking up SAM in Taylor's for law. Haven't been to this forum for a while, but just drop by to say 'hi' to you guys. Good luck in your 1st sem.

Hi!


Just wondering, after SAM under JPA, are you supposed to apply to respective unis by yourself?


By the way, aren't most law courses in Australia 4 years, but the JPA covers only 3. So, how?


*hopefully all those previously under JPA and are Australian-bound can help me with this. Thanks!

i know how stressful is it
before i accept JPA scholarship
i already study SAM in taylors
i took ESL,math,bio,phy and chem
pls imagine
for ESL you need to hand in a well-written 2000 words of report
bio, phy and chem report need 1000 words
all title are different
you need to find the sources, do a draft, citation........
and the all the deadlines are almost the same
really very stressed..........
but still ok for me
as i like to study under huge pressure
it will motivate me.....

SAM---
1) Self Abuse Matriculation
2)Super Annoying Matriculation
3) Super Atrocious Matriculation
4)"Siao Aaarr!!!" Matriculation
5)Scary Australian Madness
6)Seriously-need Aid Matriculation
7)Student Abuse Matriculation
8)Suffering Adolescents Matriculation
9)Semua Assignment Matriculation
10)Shockingly Abominable Matriculation
11)Saya Akan Mati
