Intellect in law is all about knowledge and application. Knowledge comes from reading - judgments, commentaries, books, bare acts, articles. Application will come from practice - writing that article, that research paper, that opinion on a complex issue.
Trust me, even seasoned lawyers don't get everything right the first time, and they make a lot of changes to the first draft of their legal opinion, as the complex law these days starts to make sense when you have already spent a lot of time thinking about it.
Law is for IQ 60 people.
Read.
But read what??
