Congrats to the Brown class of 2009!

<p>Take this filth back to the law board!</p>

<p>There's a law board? Where?</p>

<p>Where is the law board?</p>

<p>Besides I was just saying I had to choose...sorry if law offends you or something</p>

<p>lucyS : you got finanical aid? I was going to apply, but my parents figured we'd never get it...I am actually Canadian too...but living in Hong Kong</p>

<p>HK8! I just visited Hong Kong! It was sooooo much fun!!!!</p>

<p>HK8, where do you want to practice law?</p>

<p>yah I got financial aid.. wasn't really expecting it though.. awesome that you're in HK.. i lived there for 5 years and I loved it there</p>

<p>yah HK8 where do u want to practice law? I have no idea where I'd like to practice, maybe Canada or even the US. I guess there's not really much point going to LSE if I don't even want to practice there, cuz I think I'd hafta take some courses or write some exams or something before I practiced here.. I dunno though. The only way I'm going that far for an education is if I got into Oxford or something.</p>

<p>Yup HK is a great city. Not so sure about law now actually...it is still at the top of my career list...but not as sure as I was in sept when I applied...one of major advantages of Brown is that I can do courses from outside my major unlike in the UK...if I do pratice Law though, probably in HK, but doing UK or US law, there is a lot of demand for UK/US trained lawyers in HK because of all the international trade.</p>

<p>Well, be careful not to clump US and UK law training into one bunch. UK law training is at the undergraduate level and leads to a bachelor's degree in law (LL.B), whereas US law training is a three year graduate program leading to a doctorate in law (J.D). The US considers its law program far superior to that of other countries (and in my opinion, it is), and it is complicated to become able to practice in the US without a US degree. That said, I can't attest to the degree to which each degree is respected in third-party countries.</p>

<p>Yes I am aware of the implications of LLB vs. JD, I prefer the american system too, I like the way I can still have 4 years of 'general' education first in college, but 7 years in total in uni is a bit too long...anyways...I don't want to highjack this thread so...I'll start a new thread somewhere to discuss this if you guys want...</p>

<p>I just sent in my committment card today... I guess I'll be seeing you all in the fall... can't wait!</p>

<p>It's official: I'm going to be a member of the Brown University Class of 2010!!!!</p>

<p>You just jinxed it.</p>

<p>Lol, amor, I agree. I'm a firm believer of jinxing.</p>

<p>2010 or 2009, sara?</p>

<p>i think sara is doing a five year program.... i dont know i thought about being a member of class of 2010, but then i would graduate college the same year my bro graduated, but theni would seem a little younger when people asked what year i gtraduated, and Oh NINE sound better than two thou ten
i dont know, i still have to think, congrat anyway</p>

<p>definitely going so freakin exciting!!!!!!</p>

<p>i think i will drink too much</p>

<p>go Brown class of 2011!</p>

<p>2010, because I'm deferring college for a year.</p>

<p>Ok, I know this sounds really stuck up, but today we filled out our "Senior Surveys" for the school newspaper (which they print), and it was so much fun to say that I'm going to Brown!</p>
