First and foremost I would like to apologize for not being able to update any post. I’ve been very busy with this program until I don’t have the time to post some things that is on my mind or what I have gone through for the past 12 months.
Here's something i would like to share with those who are interested with the LLB (Hons.) program which I have gone through. It is an extended 1 year program for in addition to the Bachelor of Legal Studies (Hons.) aka BLS (Hons.) Its course runs in 2 semesters.
In the First Semester (Part 1) you will learn:
1. Law of Evidence 1
2. Advance Civil Procedure 1
3. Advance Criminal Procedure 1
4. Remedies (Bankruptcy + Contract + Torts)
5. Bahasa Melayu for Law 1
6. Non Contentious Legal Matter 1 @ NCLM 1 (Conveyancing + Wills & Probate)
7. Solicitors Accounts
8. Criminal Trial & Advocacy
9. Forensic Science
In the Second Semester (Part 2) you will learn:
1. Law of Evidence 2
2. Advance Civil Procedure 2
3. Advance Criminal Procedure 2
4. Ethics
5. Bahasa Melayu for Law 2
6. Non Contentious Legal Matter 2 @ NCLM 2 (Family Law + Corporate Law)
7. Opinion Writing
8. Civil Trial & Advocacy
9. Magisterial Skills
Subjects
Subjects no. 1 – 5 for each Part 1 & Part 2 are those that have the final exam papers.
Unlike in BLS (Hons) where it is a 30% carry marks + 70% final exams, the LLB (Hons) format is 60% carry marks + 40 % final exams. Do not let these figures fool u. It is tougher to get the marks than u think.
Subjects no. 6 – 9 however have an on-going assessment w/out going through the final exams.
Books.
I can’t advise much about the subjects because different lecturers have different method of teaching & different books to refer. If you still have books from your studies during BLS (Hons.) it’ll save u some money rather than spending on new books.
Anyhow around the 2nd – 3rd week every semester there will be a book fair at the faculty. Be sure to standby around RM1000 for books & statute which you will be using for.
Oh well, that’s the general idea of what LLB (Hons.) UiTM is all about. For those who have gone through the course, congratulations. For those who’re about to enter it…be prepared for a whole new ball game.
