The pointlessness of a law degree

This may be true for non-contentious lawyers but as a litigation NQ at a City firm I very much disagree. I regularly look up law reports. I have read numerous articles. Skills gained during my law degree have been invaluable when drafting compelling legal arguments. Friends who've sat in contentious and niche departments have complained of feeling disadvantaged by having not done a law degree. Above all else though, my law degree was incredibly interesting and stimulating. I couldn't disagree with the author more.
