It's time consuming. You have to be quite dedicated to the course to do well consistently. Some subjects are more difficult than others. People's opinions vary. I thought Jurisprudence was a nightmare, my mate found it to be her most enjoyable subject.

That varies from person to person. It also depends on which subjects you're reading. I personally loved Public International law and IP law and loathed technical subjects like property and contracts.

I'm in my final-year of my law degree. Have three exams to go! Am considering doing an LLM next year, or maybe just taking a year off before I start the LPC.

No, it just sprang to me when I was trying to choose a username. Completely random.

No idea, yet. I like IP law but it's practice can be quite restrictive. I'm going to wait until I start my training contract to decide where I would like to specialise. I think I'll probably end up in litigation or international arbitration though.

Euugghh! Criminal law is disgusting! I hated it from the beginning! Though there are many others who do love it, it just was never my cup of tea.

The cases are too...vivid. Some of them dealt with a lot of heavy subject matter that I wouldn't want to practice. It's also very statute-based and technical in terms of determining culpability and the rules surrounding it are quite cumbersome. Like I said, not my cup of tea.

Yeah i guess that is sort of true...
I like the area, but wouldn't specialise in it.
