Every aspiring lawyer will benefit from this book.

How to Succeed in Law guides readers through the process of applying to university, excelling on their course and laying the foundations for a successful legal career. The book starts by giving readers a feel for what they can expect to study on a law degree, to help them decide if it's the right option for them. It outlines the different routes students can follow to qualify as a solicitor or barrister (including degree apprenticeships) and introduces the wider range of legal jobs available to students. The book then guides students through the process of creating a stand-out UCAS application and sitting the LNAT.

For students at university, the book contains guidance on how to succeed academically, with chapters on reading efficiently, writing essays and problem questions, and managing time effectively. Part 4 covers applying to law firms. Readers will learn about how to research and choose between firms; how to secure (and write about) work experience; how to create a high-quality cover letter and how to ace the Watson-Glaser test. The book ends with a chapter about challenges and opportunities in the legal profession.
