    I like what you learn about for legal studies.

    If you like the subject, choose the subject

    the thread is titled wrong. It should be "Why WOULD you choose legal studies?"

    Re: Why did you choose legal studies?

    Legal is my most favourite subject, although it is very heavy content. The content is very interested which allows me to understand to concept easier. Business studies is a good subject aswell.

    I picked it because I had an interest in the area and because I thought I could get a good mark in it.

    Hey imo, Biology isn't a real science when there's so much rote learning involved. I personally don't see the point of memorising complete bullshit about the structure of a leaf and how "complex" food webs occur. I think it was really painful to learn about how fossil dating occurs.

    In response to OP's question, I find Legal Studies to be very content heavy and sort of bland at times, although some of the issues you learn about are extremely interesting, such as technology and the law, international law and the situation of disadvantaged groups. I find Chemistry and Economics to be far more interesting, but that's just my opinion.

    Why drop it when you dont study for it and coming 1st? Doesnt make much sense.

    Workplace seems a bit boring... Consumers would be a much better choice.

    Re: Why did you choose legal studies?

    Although you have to memorise a shitload, its pretty interesting though
