We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
2. Beyond the 'further'/'recommended'/'optional', there is maybe reading that wasn't included on your reading list that was perhaps cited in the footnotes of the essential or further reading. Looking at that, too, is an example of reading more.
3. Going beyond the curriculum your law school imposes: For example, very few universities in the world (Oxford, Cambridge, I think Edinborough) make their students learn Roman Law. Consider doing something like that if you truely want to 'read more'?
4. Even if you want none of the above, putting in more effort to more thoroughly take in the essential reading or what further reading you do for 'tactical' purposes (exam success) might be an idea.
Am sure there are other suggestions I haven't listed, others please add to the thread!
