Universities churn out record numbers of top class LLB students

Bench-mark against offshore law schools In most Aussie law schools (at least in the late 80's), you had to write a 10,000 word thesis to obtain an Honours degree. I was astonished to discover that at least one so called Honours law school here equates a fail with a third = you failed your law degree in Oz. 65% is the bottom line for a third in Oz. I certainly think the standards here are lower than in Oz, which probably explains the number of Aussie lawyers gainfully employed here. However, it all comes out in the wash, i.e. if you can't cut it in private practice. However, the culling should be done at law school.
