reading jurisprudence before uni for ps

Hi

Is it worth reading an introductory book on jurisprudence and mentioning it in the personal statement? Since many read up on law and I read The Times I thought of something which might stand out. There are a few other points I might bring up later.

It's definetely worth it! If you've got a bit of a time and it's not something that you won't enjoy reading then go for it. If you can, make sure it's a 'classic' book though; the lecturer might take you reading, Lord Denning's book (s) as an indication that you have his kinds of views, which an interviewer might use.

That's what I had in mind but I know I have to be careful due to the nature of the topic. Perhaps mentioning awareness of certain issues and say in the personal statement that I read certain issues within the book or something.

Yes I was thinking of reading that book instead of the other two, which everybody seems to read. On the same basis for views I could use HLA Hart's "Concept of Law".

Thanks!

I'm sure you've said before but where are you applying again?
