Reading law is a pre-requisite to pursue a profession as a lawyer and prepares you for a career in the legal sector, where it essential to develop skills in understanding, critical thinking and finding logical arguments in the law.
The Bachelor of Laws is an undergraduate degree in law (or a first professional degree in law, depending on jurisdiction) originating in England and most common law jurisdictions as the degree which allows a person to become a lawyer. The standard degree is 3 years to complete. It can form the first major step towards qualifying for practice as a solicitor or barrister, but also represents appropriate preliminary training for a range of other careers in which legal knowledge is an asset.
