Letters to a Law Student: A Guide to Studying Law at University, by Nicholas J. McBride “The first reason for studying Law at university is that doing a Law degree is great at helping you learn how to think carefully, imaginatively, and sensibly . I am not sure how much schools do nowadays in helping their students to think – students I meet say that much more emphasis is placed on rote learning and regurgitating information. Certainly, when I ask them to discuss a situation raising some issue of law, their responses seem to be much more guided by their instincts and emotions, rather than by carefully and imaginatively reasoning their way to a sensible conclusion. I find this really sad. In these benighted times, we need more than ever people who can think properly – and if you haven’t acquired that ability at school, then doing a Law degree is a great way to catch up.” INCOME TAX FUNDAMENTALS 2021 (WITH INTUIT PROCONNECT TAX ONLINE) by Gerald E.
