Headline

The pointlessness of a law degree

Comment

This article doesn't reflect my experience of practice. I have and continue to have quite regular recouse to legal research in my work. The problem with this article is it treats all areas of law as the same. Sure, if you're working in particular transactional areas where you are doing the same thing over and over again you probably don't need great research skills. But if you work in (as I do) construction disputes, you quite regularly find yourself having to research answers to complex areas of fact and law. I'm sure that applies to a lot of other contentious areas of practice as well.
