My motivation for those tutorials was avoiding the wrath of the tutor. I was unlucky enough to have tutors who would use tutorials as interrogation sessions to highlight your deficiencies in knowledge and understanding of the law. Then you will be assigned reading to do, and answers to prepare for tutorials and seminars. Life revolves around your next tutorial or seminar No, I can't help you if you've killed a man! And even if you do give advice, be sure to add disclaimers. No I can't help you get out of your mobile phone contract. No, I do not know about the legal intricacies of internet libel law. For some reason, people think that law students are overflowing fountains of legal knowledge to be tested at will. If I had a pound for every time a friend has asked a legal question.

Everyone will try to pawn free legal advice from you

This is not something which is taught rather I have had to learn this myself during my law degree. Shortcuts in reading may be made too: having an idea of a case's facts and legal principle mean that the case report may be read much more quickly with more focus on the key points. When reading, one should focus on the end goal: learning the law in order to apply it correctly in an exam. Planning ahead early and prioritising work over play avoids dreaded all-nighters.

The workload becomes easier if you are well organised and focus on working efficiently. Be prepared to study long and hard hours as a law student. I once spent so much time in the library that I genuinely started to feel homesick. I had some idea that there would be a lot of reading, but I had no idea that horror stories of law students spending all day and all night in the library were actually true.

I'm sure that the Criminal Bar Association can verify this. There is a stark contrast between the high earnings people think lawyers are paid and what they are actually paid. Furthermore, a law degree does not guarantee riches. Law firms and chambers have been reducing the number of training contracts and pupillages, with some firms cancelling their next trainee intake. Law is a well respected degree but its graduate prospects are not as good as universities like to make out.
