Better to choose law modules than electives ?
I have some credits spare and can either pick modules within the Law School or electives from outside . Is it better to pick law ones ? ( I mean do firms prefer it )
The only slight disadvantage of an elective i can think of is that in our University there's a rule that if your close to the boundary but don't quite make it then the mark from the elective can't be taken into account but it goes into the overall degree.
Any advice will be appreciated
The thing is Uni want us to do law modules so they make electives look really bad

Re: Better to choose law modules than electives ?If you are seeking a career in law then you should have a narrative for why you are doing something that isn't law in a law degree. You should not look like you are running away from law. It is that which ultimately worries law firms.(Original post by dbdb)
