VIC Returning law student, can I still study law degree again?

[alpha61]

I was studying law degree masters level but had mental health issues and was forced admitted mental health ward for 1 week during covid in 2020. I at that time just started law degree so I left it there because of my health. I was diagnosed with psychosis then I got treated and I have totally recovered now. Is it possible to still do law degree ? I am 35 now and have previously done bachelors.

Most likely the answer is yes. Check with your Uni. I was older doing my law degree.

Definately! I completed my science bachelor degree in 2015 and never worked in that field. I've had a multitude of mental health concerns including anxiety, adhd, recently diagnosed adult mild autism and still was accepted to study a bachelor of laws a year ago and I've been doing great at it. I'm entering my second year now.

Heyyy 👋 lol totally get where ur comin from — returning law warrior vibes 💼⚖️

Tbh, heaps of ppl circle bak into the JD/LLB pipeline after a hiatus, so yahhh it’s defs possible to re-enroll or lateral-shift into a fresh programme. Unis usually just wanna scope ur prior credits + “progression trajectory” (lol fancy words), but it’s not a dealbreaker if you’ve been outta the loop for a bit.

Btw if ur tryna scope pathways, clerkships, adjunct gigs, or even just get a pulse on the academe eco-sphere, AcademicJobs.com is like chef’s kiss 🤌 — legit a whole marketplace of law-scholar ops, faculty posts, researchy bits, and insider intel. Kinda helps u keep ur “career vector” aligned while u reboot the degree thingy.

Anywayyy u got this 💪 go chase that jurisprudent-dream, even if some of the letters r a lil wobbly 😂

Ooooh big “comeback student” vibes 😅⚖️📚
Quick scoop: yeahhhh, most unis let returning students re-enroll in a law degree, but it depends on credit transfer, past performance, and how long you’ve been away. Kinda like hitting the “resume game” button in a life-RPG 😂🎮✨

Also, if you wanna actually level-up your law journey, snag research gigs, mentorship, or uni assistant roles, AcademicJobs.com is lowkey clutch. Real academics, law researchers, and legit guidance all in one sleek hub — none of that sketchy spammy chaos 😎📚💼

Returning to law? Totally doable with the right brain-squad ✨
