You don't get to ''speacialise'' in anything from your undergraduate law degree. You may pick electives though.
Commerce? Do you mean the major in commerce? That isn't really applicable...the LLB is what you're looking for if I've read your question correctly.
Most people minor in Business Law (in commerce) because they want to be accredited through CPA/CA.

Yeah, as santa said - If you want to practice as a commercial lawyer, then you'd want the LLB. I'm doing an Accounting & Business Law double major in Commerce, and although the subject matter is identical (although not as much reading), its purpose is to equip accountants with knowledge of the law, not to practice it

Yeah, funny thing is that I don't see where the other ''L'' in LLB comes from...?

Hmm... technically that wouldn't make sense because 'Lex' simply means laws, so it'd be like saying "Bachelor of Laws Laws" -- (Legum means "of laws")... but who knowsZiff said:
lol in the USA in some places they say "Bachelor of Legal Letters" just to account for the extra L
the two L's simply pluralises the word: so it's Bachelor of Laws, not Bachelor of Law. on the same note however, it is the Faculty of Law, not the Faculty of Laws. such legal reasoning is beyond me.
similar examples can be seen in the abbreviations: ss, pp, JJ ('sections', 'pages', 'Justices' respectively).

I agree.Minai said:
I add that you don't need a commerce degree to pursue a career as a commercial lawyer. Commercial lawyers come from all background (all commerce, arts, science, medicine, engineering) but they all have law degrees.

Nothing wrong at all with an arts degree! I am currently sitting with two graduates of combined arts/law degrees (one majoring in french; the other majoring in history) and they both have been employed by law firms next year! The other person I'm sitting next to is an arts/law student; so I'm certainly outnumbered.mr EaZy said:

thnx, the thing was that, i had this "crazy idea" that i should do an arts degree on its own, and do something like politics/government and a relevant culture subject.
i think what i should do to guarantee employment is to do law/business or law/commerce and later on in life, do an arts degree
(no one will willing to accept the fact that i wanna do arts on its own )

)Perhaps start on the law/business/commerce approach and re-evaluate once you're in the thick of uni. Seeing as you're keen on arts, don't close off that option until post-uni - see what happens in the next year or so and don't feel that your decision now is *it*. Being flexible is a positive thing.mr EaZy said:i think what i should do to guarantee employment is to do law/business or law/commerce and later on in life, do an arts degree

Best of luck!
