The Law Units

The Law Units.

Law Units are difficult to discuss since many of them are interdependent. Subjects essentan are Company Law, Contracts, Trust and Wills, Torts, Property and perhaps Evidence. Roman Law is a useful, if not essential subject, particularly as a basis for the study of Jurisprudence and as such should be placed alongside that subject where it would be more useful. Jurisprudence and Constitutional are becoming increasingly important as the bulk of administrative law increases. None of the subjects above could be removed from the course, although the last two could perhaps be options.

Both International Law and the Conflict of Laws are worthy of some consideration as subjects which may be relegated to optional status. They are not necessary for the solicitor's exam and many law students would perhaps prefer to make a more exhaustive study of other subjects.
