IS IT WORTHWHILE STUDYING LAW EVEN IF YOU DO NOT PRACTICE OR WORK AS A LAWYER?

Yes, it is extremely worthwhile to study law even if you do not plan to practice or otherwise work as a lawyer. Here are three reasons why:

  1. You’ll learn how to navigate the legal system – Even if you don’t plan on being a practising lawyer or working as one, understanding how the legal system works can be incredibly helpful. Whether you’re dealing with a personal issue or a business matter, knowing the ins and outs of the law will give you a major advantage.

  2. You’ll develop critical thinking and analytical skills – Studying law requires you to think critically and analytically about complex problems. These are skills that are valuable in any career, profession, endeavour or venture, whether you’re a lawyer or not.

  3. You’ll gain a deep understanding of the social and political aspects of the law – Understanding how laws are created and enforced can give you insights into the workings of society and politics. This knowledge can be helpful in any profession, from business to public policy.
