Law is not just for lawyers! Law is relevant to everyone, not just those who work within the legal profession. It can be studied as an academic discipline in its own right as well as being the stepping-stone to a law career. Law provides the framework within which society operates, regulating almost all aspects of our lives. It is therefore of direct interest to all of us. Law graduates enter a wide range of professions, despite the desire to be a lawyer being perhaps the most likely reason for studying law at university. The skills you will develop during your study on a law degree are highly valued by employers and transferable to a wide range of contexts such as local government, politics, the civil service, business, management and administration.
