If you participated in class discussions, it may have been by offering your opinion about a text or issue. If you feel stuck like most high school students, I implore you to read a book similar to the one I read, Letters to a Law Student by Nicholas Mcbride.Providing readers with a brief history of the evolution of the Law, from the Code of Hammurabi to Justinian’s Code - attempting to codify all Law in the Roman empire - the book is extremely useful in detailing the background to the laws that govern us today. It is expensive for colleges to teach like this, and so, over time, many of them have given it up in favor of large lectures and computer-graded examinations. and change the facts in some way, you are asking the teacher to predict what a decision maker might think about these new facts. 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. You cannot get into law school without having proven that you have a good measure of intelligence and drive.

Book was a present for my daughter who is planning to go to University to study Law later this year.

However, I must admit that my extent of understanding this facet of the Law is somewhat sketchy due to its complexity, and the fact I have never been given a basic introduction to it.

It develops a thick-skinned debating style, which makes lawyers both successful and disparaged in their professional lives. As a democratic society, we have come to believe that the rule of law must be applied in the same way for everyone, and rigid application of legal rules is one of the ways that we pretend that this occurs in the legal system. That is why justice is portrayed as blind, and thus indifferent to the personal biases that might otherwise sway her. The practice of law involves an enormous amount of this kind of give and take among lawyers, those on the same team and those across the table. All of these views have found their place in the ongoing conversation among our law-makers as to what sort of society we should live in.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! Finally, I thought that Mcbride did repeat himself multiple times when I think it could have been more concise and still have gotten his point across perfectly! You may have spent most of your undergraduate career listening to lectures, taking notes, and reading assignments. Letters to a Law Student, 5th edition, Global Edition by Nicholas J McBride, provides a thorough introductory guide to higher education and learning context for law studies.
