If you're a law student try to take a good class on legislation and its interpretation (if one is available to you) because we live in an age of statutes and in the UK too often law schools forget this.
My 2 cents: If you're a law student, try to take classes from professors who think differently from you. In any law class, you can learn two things: The material, and how the professor thinks. For future lawyers, both are valuable. Disagreement w/ prof = 2 for the price of 1.

It was a pleasure to work with Margaux on the project, and to teach her at the @InstofLawJersey . I couldn’t go to the awards event yesterday but I am glad my colleagues from the Legislative Drafting Office were there to cheer her on.
Very proud to see Margaux winning this award last night for her work on our project - see https://t.co/gsqccvyiDY and

Having passed both Houses of Parliament, the Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill is likely to receive Royal Assent, perhaps as early as today. But what does the process of Assent involve? Not what most think it does... 1/3
