    Planning to start UWI Faculty of Law next year. Lawyer is my dream job. Any tips I should know? How to get involved? Types of friends to make etc? Is it a vibrant atmosphere? How to cope with stress? Financial burdens? Anything helps 😭

    • @ShamarCrossfield
      @ShamarCrossfield  Год назад +1

      Here are a few general tips I usually share:
      - be prepared for the workload; it’s a lot
      - understand that by studying law you are not only confirmed to being a litigator in court; the LLB is expansive
      - From good friendships with those in your faculty
      And is it relates to what you were asking:
      - yeah the faculty is vibrant, the Mona Law Society holds a lot of fun events and initiatives to keep the faculty exciting

    SO after a law student finishes UWI what do they do after?

    • @ShamarCrossfield
      @ShamarCrossfield  2 года назад +4

      They go to a law school, most students from UWI go to Norman Manley Law School for 2 years and after the 2 years they sit the bar exam and if they pass, they'll be called to the bar and will be licensed to practice law in Jamaica (and I think the commonwealth in general)

  • @uniquetamaaria1540

    If you go to norman manley, do you get another degree?

    • @ShamarCrossfield
      @ShamarCrossfield  9 месяцев назад +1

      Not really a degree. Attending Norman Manley gives you ur Legal Education Certificate- which is basically the permit that allows you to actually practice the law in Jamaica and become an attorney at law

      I would want to but I didn’t buy a single law book last year 😭 instead, there are a variety of online resources and materials that you’ll get access to once you start first year + I also borrowed from the library - which really helped!

    Do you have to get a 1 in Cape Law to get accepted?

    • @ShamarCrossfield
      @ShamarCrossfield  2 года назад +4

      Not at all. You don't even have to do CAPE Law to get accepted into the faculty of law
      But whatever CAPE subjects you do, try to get ones and twos for your application to law to be more secure - it's kind of a competitive faculty to get into

      @@ashielove8101 well in the previous comments i was saying that u dont need to have CAPE LAW to get accepted into the faculty of law. just as long as you do good in ur CAPE subjects in general.
      but with that being said, to answer ur actual question, you don't need to cape to go to uwi. many people start uwi without cape subjects. it depends on the programme though. for example: you need cape subjects to go to faculty of law at uwi, but there are other programmes wherein you would not need cape subjects to pursue unlike the faculty of law. so it all depends on the faculty and programme of study u intend to pursue ... im not sure what those faculties & programmes are though so you'd have to do some indepenedent research to find that part out.
