What About Law?: Studying Law at University

Law is one of the few subjects of which the school leaver, choosing a degree course, will have very little real understanding. This book comes to the rescue by clearly setting out what a prospective law student can expect and why a student should choose to study law.
This new edition is updated to reflect the reality of studying law today. It covers the compulsory subjects every law student has to study – contract, criminal, land law, equity and trusts, tort, constitutional and EU law. With a clear core structure and approach, it takes a case from each of these subjects to illustrate legal issues and methodology. The writing style is accessible and has the audience – novices to law – firmly in mind.
What About Law? shows how the study of law can be fun, intellectually stimulating and challenging. It introduces prospective students to the legal system, legal reasoning, critical thinking and argument. Written by a team of experienced teachers, this book should be read by every student thinking about studying law at university.
