Law governs every aspect of people's lives, from food labelling and football transfers to elections and crime. It regulates people's social life from the contracts that they make when they buy products to the laws that determine when people can be jailed for committing criminal offences, and through to significant political decisions, such as constitutional reforms on marriage or abortion. As a law student, students will learn what laws are, how they work and how they change.
Trinity College Dublin’s LL.B. degrees prepare students not only for life as ‘lawyers’, but also enables them to enter many career fields such as business, journalism, accountancy, banking, insurance, politics, foreign affairs and public policy, both in Ireland and abroad. The skills learned through studying law are useful in all walks of life. A law degree teaches students to think logically and analytically. It also equips them with the ability to carry out research, to apply relevant information to problems, to use language precisely, carefully and objectively.
