除非你決定下在香港讀，不然，冇得慳！
我去年重差少少時間，侷住科大交了半年學費！

交了有得退嗎？

急！想問下已有Endingburgh 同Bistrol 收我女，中大都收但要14/4 交留位費1萬，交唔交留位費好？讀law



  ...

香港的留位費唔慳得.

如果要用金錢去衡量, 最好將眼光放到最遠. 試想, 今日的一萬元, 和令千金他日學業有成, 事業有成, 一生積累的金錢回報來比較, 是微不足道. 一間 'Magic Circle' 給 2nd year 的法律學生做 summer intern 的週薪  , 也有 6千元/week. (當然 , 這些 intern post 競爭也十分大.)

要十分小心考慮報讀在蘇格蘭的大學 (eg Edinburgh).  

很少港人知道, 蘇格蘭並非行香港的普通法, 而是近似歐洲的大陸法. 即是, 讀完之後,  回港執業 (跟隨英格蘭行普通法) 的機會, 微乎其微, 因為現今香港律師入行的門檻, 不是入大學法律學院, 而是 PCLL. 而PCLL 只接受修讀普通法的法律學位持有人伸請.

在英國的 一級法學院畢業, 回港入大行 ( Magic Circle / Silver Circle / City Firms etc ) 有一定優勢, 大前提當然是成績要好 ( 1st Class honour / High 2:1, 這點非常重要 ! ). 還有, 可慳番一年, 因英國大學是 3 年制.  雖然香港有個 Conversion Exam 去攔阻他們 ( 留英法律生要另外自行修讀本港獨有法律 , 如基本法, 要考試合格才可報 PCLL), 但留英尖子們多數在寒假暑假自修應考, 所以在英國 3 年畢業就可回港報讀 PCLL, 反而留港學生, 要讀足 4 年 .

Best of Luck to your daughter !

聽說現今大行prefer聘用本地law畢業生，因貪其中文程度稍高。

Make sense.

唉，我明! 亦已交了中大留位費,但自問小女真係唔係top student，佢自己好想去英國讀書,但又唔想勤力,所以而家重諗緊係邊度讀

I have the following observations:

>>>Is it a norm or just several firms make such generous offer? According to my son who had interned in several international firms, the highest is $15,000 per month.<<<

As mentioned , such generous salary for a lowly summer intern only occurs in the rarified stratosphere of Magic Circle and certain American firms, and not even all Magic Circle firms offer such kind of salary.
Having said that, it is amazing that despite paying good money they often cannot find good enough candidates to fill the post.

>>>According to the requirements set out in the webpage of the universities, you need to have an LLB degree which should cover all the core subjects and the top up subjects. If your degree does not cover all the core subjects, you need to pass the conversion examination, In other words, if the LLB from Edinburgh does not cover all the core subjects {which I do not have any knowledge], the graduates can apply to PCLL if he takes the conversion examinations and gets passes on them.<<<

Yes the HK Law Society classified the Scottish system as a common law jurisdiction as far as foreign lawyers intending to practice in HK is concerned. But whether the law deans responsible for PCLL admission wholeheartedly think that way, I have no idea and I won't encourage my kids to find out.

>>>在英國的 一級法學院畢業, 回港入大行 ( Magic Circle / Silver Circle / City Firms etc ) 有一定優勢, 大前提當然是成績要好 ( 1st Class honour / High 2:1, 這點非常重要 ! ).[Totally agree. However, if you have a 1st class honor /High 2:1 LLB granted by HKU or CU, you still have edges.<<<

Agree.
Having a good degree from a good university is just one of the first things to keep the HR from throwing the candidate's application into the dustbin ( or the electronic equivalent thereof). What come next is the proficiency in the languages, the candidate's  world view and  his/her commerical sense, his dedication to his calling, his ability to work under stress , his resilience and his sense of responsibility etc etc. Sadly speaking, these days such qualities  are getting hard to find.

I think if more local grads are getting offers from top international firms recently, its because of the JD programme offered by the local universities.
