Law Degree
One of the first things my course mentions is the fact that, unlike other law courses, it is not a traditional ‘Black Letter’ course.
Basically what a Black Letter course is one where a specific area of the law would be critically evaluated, whereas this course intends to take a multi-disciplinary approach, thus challenging the status quo.
We are told to be preapred for this as it may shock us to learn that not everything in law is black and white.
My view?
Thank God for that.
Any profession which would assume to be without fault would be an arrogant one indeed…
…Especially in light of that fact that injustices occur all the time.
By learning about, and understanding the law proper would, I hope, prepare us to make as few errors of judgement as humanly possible.
Assuming we are honest and intend to act with integrity.

Wow!
That’s all I can say after looking through just some of the material.
It really is more involved than I thought it would be… and I’m very happy about that.
Can’t wait to get cracking for real.

Law Degree
I recently enrolled on a law degree course with the Open University and my package arrived today… a week late as I was away in London last week and the mail man left a card.
I’ve just begun going through it and reading the ‘Intro to the course’ booklet.
I have two brothers who are lawyers, one older and one younger, so I thought I’d give it a go and see if I can give them a run for their money.
That really was my motivation for doing this course initially, to see if I’ve got what it takes after having been out of education for… well… too long.
But, looking at the material, I’m think I’m gonna enjoy this.
We’ll see.
