Educational topic:why is law important?
454755
As long as there are conflicting interest between individual impulses and the overall needs of the community, there will be laws. Laws set boundaries so that people can interact positively, causing minimum damage to each other. Whether it's following traffic laws (e.g. who gets to go first, where each car can drive in what direction, etc. to avoid accidents) to international trade (how much different currencies are worth, how much has to be paid for items, etc.), it is all about creating a benefit for the overall community so that we all can have better lives.

As others have said, I wouldn't recommend doing A Level law, it's not generally thought well of by universities.\n\nYou should probably be taking at least one or two arts and humanities courses - things like English and History are great because they demonstrate that you can evaluate information from a variety of sources and form coherent, concise arguments.\n\nAs for what other subjects you take, it depends if there are any particular fields of law you are interested in - Business Studies or possibly Economics might be useful if you're planning to go into corporate law, perhaps Psychology if you want to go into criminal law, and sciences would be very helpful if you're thinking about patent law.\n\nThere are no real hard and fast requirements for doing law, so overall I would say it's best to take the courses you think you can do well in and that you will like, as long as the bulk of your qualifications have a really strong academic focus (things like Art, Drama, Music etc. might not demonstrate your reasoning and linguistic abilities well enough.) Being well-rounded is probably a positive attribute, but don't take courses just for the sake of appearing well-rounded, take the courses you will really enjoy!\n\nYou should really be aiming for top grades, the very best you can do. B's at least, preferably A's, especially if you want to get into the best law programmes.\n\nOh, and don't worry about the LSAT, it's an American thing. Law is a graduate only subject over there, so you take the LSAT towards the end of your university career or after graduating so you can apply to a graduate Law school.\n\nI believe there was a law aptitude test being developed for British students, but I don't think it will be a mandatory test at every university - ask your career/university advisor for more information or check the websites of universities you're interested in.\n\nGood luck!

Actual, a lot of American law is based on theories and philosophies from John Locke. It is good background material for the serious, inquisitive student.  Also consider getting your reading lists for fall and digging into your fall semester reading lists.

Not sure what you mean but perhaps; the law is divided into criminal and civil law and also into statute and case law.\n\nThe division into criminal and civil law is fairly obvious and very broadly speaking civil law may be regarded as being concerned with contracts made between people and or companies or states.\n\nStatute law are the laws passed by government a system we inherited from the Romans. Case law is derived from the old Anglo-Saxon system of justice is based on precedence established in previous cases it is also concerned with interpretation of statute law.

The thing you have to remember about law is that is can be a very fluid concept.  And there are always loop holes.

This may sound strange but if you are studying law then surely you should know the law on whether or not you can practice as a lawyer!

Lawyers are motivated by a combination of money and power. Without legal disputes, such as in civil matters, there would be a dramatic decline in the need for those lawyers. So, yes lawyers are trying to make you money but, the bottom line is their pocket-book, not yours!!! So, this is really a catch 22 where both sides can win big but, the lawyers assume lots of risk in civil matters--which in some cases they make NO money, if they lose your dispute. So, before lawyers touch many civil cases they will pose some really important questions, i.e, is this a winnable case and is this worth my time--considering how much I (lawyer) could potentially earn?\n\nCivil law is still a popular area of law but, there is a huge need now for immigration lawyers. So, if law is your interest then consider that area.

I'd like to say some people are just born leaders, but environment can't be denied.  You wonder why there are so many children of politicians/leaders who become leaders also.  Or why children of successful people, e.g. doctors, lawyers, etc., are also successful.  I believe people should be taught, or need to learn, the importance of education, of service, of law.   It's not necessarily the subject they learn, but the process of learning.  If you learn the skills of learning, or the skills and importance of service, you will generally seek greater/more learning and will seek to make a different in your community.

That's a pretty loaded question, but there are certainly ways that crime can be useful. For instance, overthrowing governments, riots against unjust laws or rulers, and civil disobedience to draw attention to abuses of power or inequalities. Crime is defined by the law, so crime that leads to the repeal of unjust laws could be considered useful.

Law- to provide a acceptable outcome to the majority. It can not sit well with the minority. \n\nEither way some people lose.

Well money is important in my life because as a student i have to pay a lot of money to attend school to aquire knowledge and without money I would not be able to aquire this knowledge.\n\nMoney also is important to me as it allows me to purchase books and pay for the internet which also allows me access to learning and knowledge.\n\nI hope that helps with your essay.

Absolutely. It's essential. The reason for this is that legislators can't possibly cover everything. The world is constantly changing, and there are always new issues coming up - issues that no one would have otherwise thought of. So, a lot of laws have to be made up when there is a need for it.\n\nEDIT: I'd like to add that judges don't just make up laws arbitrarily. Believe it or not, judges actually try to be fair, but the problem is it's not always clear what the right decision is, and the existing laws are either archaic or insufficient for making that decision. That is why both sides of an argument have to be heard. Then a jury deliberates and prescribes a judgement. The judge then takes everything into careful consideration and makes his or her decision. A new law is made if the situation calls for it.

Try to find some sort of controversial topic, this way, you will be able to find lots of info. But try to avoid overused topics; abortion, capital punishment, etc. Good topics (that do need to be narrowed) might be UFOs, conspiracy theories, free speech(I did one on protests and why they should be regulated). But most importantly, pick something of interest to you. For example, I know someone that likes fantasy books, so she wrote about witchcraft references in Harry Potter.\nYou can get a lot of GOOD info on civil liberties from things like Supreme Court decisions.

It is best to have proper legal representation.

A lawyer is a person licensed by the state to advise clients in legal matters and represent them in courts of law and in other forms of dispute resolution. Most countries today require professional law advisors in their judicial systems.\n\nThe role of the lawyer can vary significantly across legal jurisdictions. For instance, in some countries, lawyers may be required to lead or manage criminal investigations. In the United States, lawyers advise their clients regarding their rights, and argue in favor of the best interests of their clients.
