Beginner’s Guide for Law Students

Beginner’s Guide for Law Students is aimed at students who are exposed to the law for the first time. It provides a broad, user-friendly view of the law written in simple language and elucidated by examples and diagrams. Practical skills which are necessary for studying law, for making use of the sources of law and for conducting legal research are emphasised. A critical approach to the law is cultivated.
