Letters to a Law Student: A guide to studying law at university

Product Information

So the idea that euthanasia is acceptable is not one that had so far found any support in the evolving conversation between law-makers as to what sort of society we should live in. Voted in the top 6 books that future law students should read, it is an approachable and easy-to-follow guidebook. Letters to a Law Student relays all that a prospective law student needs to know before embarking on their studies. It develops a thick-skinned debating style, which makes lawyers both successful and disparaged in their professional lives. Personally, I feel lucky to have started my legal reading with this book as Hutchinson became an inspiration to me; a man that engenders what a barrister should be.

Both judges and legislators are engaged in determining what sort of society we should live in, and in performing their functions each give effect to visions of what sort of society we should live in. You may have spent most of your undergraduate career listening to lectures, taking notes, and reading assignments.I have, admittedly, a short attention span when it comes to non-fiction, but I glided through this and found myself remembering lots of things I've read about.

Fearful of the stress, challenges, and unknown of where you want to go, what you want to study, and anxious about the new experience? You are not primarily here to learn the substance of the law for future use; you are learning the skills of analysis and self-instruction for future use. All of this helpful information ensured I felt equipped with the essential preparatory knowledge I would need to successfully stay afloat and swim through the next few years of my legal studies. Although this book is little under 400 pages, it is a slow and careful read due to all the critical information you get through every page (I advise you to highlight/take notes in the book). I’ll then send you a follow-up letter explaining why studying law at university is something you should give serious consideration.We may walk you back through the relevant rule of law and ask you if each of its requirements, in turn, has been satisfied. I may be fairly prepared for my life, yet, I still read Letters to a Law Student because I knew I needed to read to help me conquer the detrimental challenges when going to law school; luckily, this book lived up to my expectations! Let me now give you an example to make clearer the idea I am advancing here of seeing law as an ongoing conversation that is aimed at determining what sort of society we should live in. Although there is something forward-looking about trying to ascertain how a matter will be decided in the future, law is essentially the study of history. About to become a law student myself, I held the book in my hand and I felt just how strongly I could relate to that image, nearing the end of a pathway of sixth form studies staring out into the expansive open ocean that would soon become my future in legal studies.
