STUDENTS OF LAW - conservative or leftist? (1 Viewer)

[Malfoy-Sama]

Unsure about this one

i know, once they actually become lawyers and start to make real money, the majority will of course vote liberal

but law students.... although they tend to come from more priveleged familes with a good, conservative upbringing.... i am guessing that because of the types that may choose to go into law.... (idealistic, politics-obsessed, etc) that they may be a good amount of misguided labor-voting riffraff too.

(please dont get all hurt and offended) =]

so, in general, where do students of law stand policically???

i am particularly interested in knowing this for the students of these major unis

NSW: usyd, unsw
VIC: umelb, monash
QLD: UQ
WA: UWA
SA: adelaide

those from ANU please do not vote, as everyone there is almost guaranteed to be a communist as far as i'm concerned.

Why does it matter, I wouldn't pick uni based on that. Besides like all things you can't generalise...it depends on each individual student

 

[Malfoy-Sama]

oh no im not saying it matters or id choose based on that


im just interested to know!

I'll take on the poltical mindset which will get me more money!
Who means ridiculously conservative, right?

What does 'very mis-guided' translate to in regards to political mindset

I'm impressed by how impartial you are.

i started off quite left wing and now am fairly libertarian though still big on social progressivism eg - i love abortions, gay marriage, etc, dislike religion playing a role in government, dislike dumbing down of media etc

i find that most law students are either soft left, or moderate right (with a big libertarian wing).

i'm apathetic, but that isn't available as an option.
