'Studying law can be a daunting prospect, so what could be better than receiving first-hand advice from an army of students who have already been there and survived law school, to soothe our worries? The 'I Wish I'd Known' feature provides snippets of advice from real law students, studying at different universities from different backgrounds, on a whole host of issues; while 'The Insider Knowledge' feature includes advice, tips and nuggets of wisdom from practising solicitors and barristers, who have gone on to succeed in the specialised areas of law.'
