想讀LAW，高中應選邊科？

ANChan59

I met a tutor in Stanford University 4.5 years ago, his first and second degree are in Maths, but his Phd in Law. I asked him why he switched to Law and his English must be as good as his Maths.

His answer is enlightening to me.

When we seek for legal advice, we must face some problems. if the lawyer not creative, he follow the cases and similar arguement. so the result is predictable.

If you have new view points and dimensions, will turn the case favour you. He treats Law as Creative Problem Solving and not language exercise.

Seems it is very uncommon to study Phd in law without any prior law qualifications.

Me too originally. but he taught Maths in summer school and was doing Phd in Law.

A business friend of mine, HKU Dental BSc, top US university in MSc in Materials and Phd in Law specialised in Medcial Regulation and became Chair Professor in the top US university. Very successful academia coverted business man.

Are you sure the guy you at Stanford mentioned "PhD in Law" and not "Juris Doctor"?

Sorry, I don't know.

I asked him what's his research area in PhD, his answer was "Law". I didn't follow up on that but shifted the focus to ask him what's the relationship between Maths and Law.

from a HKU law學生,
以前是文科理科商科都沒關係,
不過跟jupas舊制入,UE一定要非A則B,
沒有一個人是C的,一個都冇,
其他AL subjects至少一兩個A吧~

Do you know the requirement of non-JUPAS like IB?

I mean acceptance requirement, not min. req.

Thanks cow.

I guessed lower than 38, eventually 38 is the threshold score for most hot programs.

CUHK may need higher score now. For HKU, many people say 42 and some say 41/42.  

As HK changed from HKALE to HKDSE, 38 is the magic number for IB .......

It is a new equibrilium, as HKALE > IBDP > HKDSE.....
