What About Law?
£10.00
Most young people considering studying law have very little idea of what learning law actually involves. This book provides a 'taster' of each area of law, designed to help students and others decide whether law is the right choice for them as a university subject, or, if they have already made the choice, what to expect when they start.
This book counters the perception that law is a dry, dull subject. On the contrary, it shows how the study of law can be fun, intellectually stimulating, challenging and of direct relevance to students.
