i did nothing for my application apart from the personal statement and law taster at some uni
- you don’t need it. yes it’ll help, if you’re someone who takes a bit longer to understand things.. but it’s not really necessary as the first year of law is made so it’s accessible to those who’ve never done law before.
but some important things to prepare you for a law course might be:
- keep up with the news, new stories about law changes etc happen all the time. familiarise yourself with law in every day life
- watch some law related podcasts
- look at your curriculum and see what topics you need to familiarise yourself with, and read about them on a surface level
- in law, there’s a lot of latin, like a lot. so maybe learn some law latin terminology, as it’ll be easier for you later when you need to learn a lot of latin at once
- read some cases relating to your curriculum. i mean read them fully, not just the judgements. familiarising yourself with them will make it easier for when you have to read them all the time. they’re long, so you’ll know what to expect later.
