Law

Law is a discipline that deals with understanding and interpreting the system of rules, statutes, decrees, and regulations that apply at the national or international level. Law or Legal Education is a combination of multiple theoretical subjects and case studies, which help students to develop their skills through practical assignments.

Some of the most popular subfields of Law include International Law, European Law, Criminal Law, Civil Law, Public Law, Business Law, etc.

People who attend law schools are often conscientious, and integrity is an essential quality for them. They see corruption as a major roadblock in the development of better societies and aim to improve the world by ensuring that impartial justice is served. Some of the modules included in a Law degree are law of contract, law of tort, property law, criminal law, governing the major organs of the state, constitutional law, human right law, etc. These courses are followed by legal training, where future lawyers have the opportunity to practise what they’ve learned.

While studying Law, you will also develop and enhance your public-speaking skills and the ability to form arguments and support them with relevant facts. You can use principles from rhetorical discourse to significantly improve this ability.

Law careers allow you to work as a solicitor, barrister, judge, detective, licensed conveyancer, advice worker, mediator, and more. Whether you decide to become a judge, a defence attorney, a prosecutor, or focus on working within a specific organisation or company, you will be expected to have a high level of knowledge, a great sense of justice, a vast vocabulary, and excellent negotiation and communication skills. You'll need to back them up with a great memory and strong analytical thinking.

The world needs more law practitioners. You can be one of the people who defend the truth and make sure our society is safer and fairer, and that’s something you should be proud of.
