Assumed knowledge for law? (1 Viewer)

[janishe]

Hi,

Just wanting to ask if there are any subjects you 'should do' to get into law/to be comfortable with the content you're learning once you're in?
i.e. I'm not doing legal studies, is this ok? Or will I be struggling behind the kids who did legal in high school.

Thanks.

There's no assumed knowledge for law, you'll do fine without legal studies. If fact, quite a few of the students I know never touched legal studies during high school.

You just need very very long attention span and an ability to read highly complicated and difficultly written texts. I really hate it when some judge right writes a 10 line sentance with many triple negatives, it really puts you off to sleep.
