Having just finished my first year studying for a law degree, I must say that whilst it is a lot of hard work studying law it is throughly enjoyable. Of course there are disadvantages to studying law over another subjects, such as expensive textbooks, demanding hours of work, more hours spent in lectures and difficult exams. However, if you truely have a passion for studying law all these disadvantages are certainly worth it.

A degree in law has traditionally been viewed as a good thing. Vocational, yet academic, it is one of the few degree courses on offer that actively promotes a career choice. So, what should you look for in a course and what can you expect? By way of background I’m writing this assuming that you wish to pursue a career in the law rather than using a law degree as a step to alternative careers.

I currently interview students for positions as trainee solicitors and can therefore tell you a little of what an employer will look ...  Read the complete review
