Law at Uni

What is law at uni actually like? I really want to do it but I'd be interest to know what you actually do in a uni degree and how enjoyable it is. What are the pros and cons?

Boring but useful for a high paying legal job.

Ok thanks. Which uni do/did you go to? What was the course like? and like where has it taken you in terms of law - which part of law?

It was a long time ago (I’m a practicing lawyer). I studied at the LSE and did the usual
LLB components. I only studied it to land a good job, which I did.

TBH I’m an international transactional lawyer so I don’t actually deal with any black letter law these days😂 . I am a partner in a top 10 global law firm so from a career standpoint, it got me to where I wanted.

Roughly what’s your salary if you don’t mind saying - I’d find it useful to get an idea. Yeah I want to get a good job as well - which part of law do you specialise in ?
