    Law in trinity is 540 (approx) law in UL is 500 (approx)

    Why is there such a big difference? Will you be a better qualified solicitor/barrister after doing the Trinity course? if so, why?

    You don't qualify to be a solicitor or a barrister after your degree, you have to go onto further exams. I'm sure both universities would adequately prepare you for these exams. The differential in points might be as simple as a lower number of places on offer, or that the people who want to go to Trinity do better in their Leaving Cert.

    I remember these CAO worries. Choose the courses you want to do in the universities you want to do. Order them appropriately. Don't care what anyone else thinks, which is what determines the points.

    What he said. Only to do with demand for course vs. space. It has no basis on which will make you a better lawyer some day. Hope would a LC student know anyway? Trinity has an overall better reputation anyway so invariably has higher points (but that can often be due to smaller classes).

    Points have no bearing on the quality of a course, only the demand.
