Law is a popular choice of course for many students – but is a career in law for right you? A career in law can be extremely rewarding – it challenges the intellect, inspires ideas, and gives you a chance to really make a difference. But you do need to be prepared to work long hours in a very competitive and stressful environment. Are you good at analysing situations and problems? Do you have a thirst for knowledge? Are you passionate about continual learning? Are you good at dealing with people? Are you detail-oriented, patient, pragmatic and dispassionate? If this sounds just like you, then law could be a good career pathway for you.
Law is about the principles and regulations of a government and the legislation that is recognised and upheld by the judiciary. Law students study the laws of this country and other countries to develop an understanding of the principles and practices of commercial law, criminal law and constitutional law.
