A WALK DOWN THE FACULTY OF LAW(TIPS TO EXCEL WITHOUT DIFFICULTY)PART1

WELCOME TO BENUE STATE UNIVERSITY (B.S.U)

I guess by now you must have heard a lot about where you find yourself, be it positive or negative, it’s natural and bound to happen most especially when you find yourself in a new environment and you are a JJC in that field or sphere of life. You are not only inquisitive to finding answers to questions but also to knowing and distinguishing from your left and right so as to avoid being confused and landing into same problems most people(those ahead of you) landed themselves into. i.e learning from their mistakes.

I will restrict this article to the law students but subsequent ones will cover other departments. Though very important facts can still be extracted from this article by non-law students. After all there is a saying that “NO KNOWLEDGE IS WASTED” and above all “INFORMATION (KNOWLEDGE) IS POWER”.

I know before you were offered admission to study law, you had the opportunity to at least approximately guess how many students applied with you to study law and the percentage of assurance you had to be offered admission this course of your choice to study. Notwithstanding that fact, you had your own plans to make the necessary connection so that in case plan A fails, plan B will work.

Law is not only a practicing profession but also an applied profession, the stress of developing reading and study skills as a law student is very vital and essential. In your year1; you will discover you are offering only one law core course which is Legal Methods, this does not mean you won’t take other courses serious. It is even more important to take other courses serious so you can lay a good foundation by building a rooted G.P to help you up to your 500level.

Also there are some key points you have to note which will enable you excel in your year one. Some of which are

§  Your introduction to write ups.

§  A strong body content

§  A conclusion

§  Hit the major point of discussion in write ups before you talk less important things

§  Never underrate assignments given to you. E.g “go and make research on this , just read it (it might be a test or exam question)

§  Always make sure your Test is above 25

§  Make use of past questions, repetition is a key element.

All these and many others in my subsequent articles will be elaborated more.

Before I delve into analyzing each course and what you should expect, it’s very important to boost your nerves so you can know the kind of minds needed in B.S.U and the faculty of law.

It is no longer news that you are a law student and your friends and family members now call you Barrister-Lawyer, it’s wonderful…it is still no news that you will spend 5years in school unlike your mates in other departments who are aiming 4years. Now let’s work it out using statistics;
