Law books

Hi, guys. I'm applying for law in uni and would love any suggestions for books that I could read beforehand. Or any activity that would help me or advice really!! I have firmed Kings, and hopefully will get in, but I wanted to ask if every uni has very different content or is it basically the same because the law is the same? Thank you so much! I hope everyone's summer is amazing.

If you are interested in history, try Frederick Maitland's The Forms Of Action At Common Law, and Justice In The Age Of Reason by Norman Poser. Maybe also The English Constitution by Walter Bagehot.

Have fun!
