Career choices in Law

Studying law is stimulating in its own right, but its's also a smart career move. A law degree is a good step if you want to practise law professionally. It is also an asset for many careers that are not directly related to law. For instance, roles in finance, human resources, education, local and central government, the voluntary secotr or management all benefit from a legal background.
