In 2012, The Guardian posted a list of “must read” books for students about to embark on a law degree. \u00a0This list was produced based on nominations by law students. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are so many books that I would include or add to the list, but these were the top 6.<\/p>\n

The top 6 on the Guardian list were:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. The Rule of Law<\/a> – Tom Bingham<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Letters to a Law Student <\/a>– Nicholas McBride<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Glanville Williams: Learning the Law<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

4. What About Law?<\/a> – Catherine Barnard et al<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Eve was Framed<\/a> \u00a0– Helena Kennedy<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Bleak House<\/a> – Charles Dickens<\/span><\/p>\n

So I have read all of the above, some prior to embarking on my degree and a couple whilst on my foundation year.<\/span><\/p>\n

As quite a lot of you that read this blog are students and tutors, I would love to know what you would consider to be the top book to read for a prospective law student. \u00a0If you are a solicitor or barrister then I would love to know your thoughts as well!<\/span><\/p>\n

My first ever “law book” was Glanville Williams: Learning the Law, so that will always be up there amongst the top for me, but plenty of other books have taught me lots and provided me with a greater insight into the degree and working life thereafter, as well as top tips for studying and the profession in general.<\/span><\/p>\n

So leave me a comment, send me a message (via my contact page) or send me a tweet @lawyer_inmaking<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

This post has encouraged me to write a few law book reviews, so I will try and get one done this week – and it may even be one that made it to The Guardian’s top 6!<\/span><\/p>\n

I can’t wait to hear your thoughts so please do get involved! \u00a0Plus as the poll conducted by The Guardian was in 2012 – have any new books come out? \u00a0I will go and have a look, but let me know if you know of any yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n
