First Year Law Student, No Legal Studies (1 Viewer)

[wheel]

Hey,

I'm studying Eco/law this year though I didn't do legal studies in high school

What should I do before uni to make sure I don't fall behind?

Does anyone have a copy of LAWS1052 that I can get my hands on or something?
Kinda worried.

Thanks for your help

TBH Legal Studies doesn't really help you at all. I did legal studies and had absolutely no advantage over anyone. You might pick up the first few concepts earlier than everyone else e.g. what is common law and statute law but other than that not really.

So don't worry! Just enjoy the break!

In addition to this, if you are intelligent enough to make it into Law in the first place, you shouldn't have to worry about "falling behind". You just need to be motivated enough.

This pretty much, Legal Studies and Law both have very different approaches, so the advantage of Legal Studies is minimal.
