Okay, right now I'm a first year in a decent law school (Birmingham). I would like to go into commercial law after graduation, however I'm far from certain of getting a 2:1 this year. So I'm wondering, if I didn't manage a 2:1 this year what would my prospects be of getting such a job in a big firm, (providing of course i manage at least a 2:1 as my overall final degree mark).
However, I'm not from UK and I would very much like to work abroad in law if possible. Therefore I was thinking of taking an LLM after I finish in LLB. I was wondering which area of law would give me the most opportunities for an international career. I'm bilingual (French), if that helps. Obviously International Law, but how about maritime law, European law etc.. what are the opportunities like in these areas?
Any opinions/info would be helpful, cheers
