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

Product Information

Studying law at university requires you to make much more of an effort to acquire more in the way of general culture than you would have to if you were studying, say, mathematics or classics.

There are some issues that all of us may have to talk about together, such as where we are going to go and when. 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. There are other issues (such as transportation and accommodation) that we might be able to delegate to a few members of our party – and they will work those issues out together and report back to us.

The requirement that judges not give effect to their own personal views as to what sort of society we should live in, but rather the emerging consensus among law-makers on this issue is a salutary one – however frustrating a particular judge (for example, one who believes strongly in the acceptability of euthanasia) might find it. I was honestly quite impressed with the amount of information Mcbride included about assignments you would be given in law school.
