Property lawyers deal with conveyancing - the buying and selling of property. Basically, they see to it that that relevant searches of the land are carried out to see if there are any rights attached to it, and they fill in all the 'legal stuff' (the contract, documents to be sent to the Land Registry etc) for their clients when the clients want to buy or sell property.

Well, you could take a straight law degree (the LLB). In the first post, you said you might want to do a combination course, and mentioned business - what you could do is a business degree, then convert it into a law degree. You convert it by doing the GDL (Graduate Diploma in Law), but I hear that's very intense.

After you've got your undergraduate degree, the next step is either:

1) If you want to be a solicitor, do the LPC (Legal Practice Course)
2) If you want to be a barrister, do the BVC (Bar Vocational Course)

Within the LPC, you'll learn certain core subjects, and choose certain electives to study - so you could choose an elective focusing on Property Law.

I did the LLB then went straight onto the LPC. A lot of people took a gap year, either to gain some legal work experience, or just make some dosh before moving on to post-graduate study.

And before embarking on a career in law, make sure you know what you're getting yourself into. The LPC is very intense. I'm not trying to discourage you, I'm just trying to ensure you don't walk into anything blindly.

Whatever you do, make sure you get a lot of work experience with firms. If you want to go into property law, contact some law firms who deal with conveyancing, do a couple of weeks work experience at as many of them as possible.

If you look at it one way, then no, it doesn't matter really. Other universities, which do the LPC, would accept you if you got a minimum 2:1 degree.

However, career-wise, certain firms might prefer certain universities.

Inshallah you'll get into a good university.
 
I kind of went through the same thing as you where I wasnt sure what part of Law I wanted to go into or anything. I think that if you want to do Law then you should do the LLB and not combined courses because it does leave the most options for you in the long run.

I'm going to do the LLB and by doing that I dont have to choose anything to specialise in. (-yet). After the LLB, I want to do my LPC, and hopefully I'll get a training contract with a firm. I know that they're really hard to come by but Inshallah i'll get a place in one of the really good Uni's
 
Wow I'm starting a degree in Criminology & Sociology next year! I can't wait, as I'm currenty doing a full time foundation course in the same subjects, plus psychology and it's soooooo interesting, honestly it's the best thing I've ever done....

Good luck with whatever you choose!!

Best wishes
Karina
 
Friendly warning to all prospective or actual lawyers - don't visit Pakistan any time soon. Unless you want your head kicked in by the military. Go rule of law!
