Law is the way civilized societies provide for the conduct of citizens to enhance harmony and optimize achievement of personal liberties. Our laws are an attempt to deal with many of the most horrible ways humans treat each other. Laws are also divided into many sub-specialties, each requiring particular knowledge and experience on the part of the practitioner. Much like the practice of medicine, when you need a brain surgeon, you dont go to a foot doctor. The legal analogy might follow that when you need an intellectual property specialist--- you dont go to a family law practitioner.Some of these distinct areas of law include: administrative law, admiralty, alternate dispute resolution, antitrust, appellate, business organizations, communications, constitutional, contract, corporations, corporate governance, criminal law, disability, employment, environmental, estates and trusts, immigration, insurance, intellectual property, international business law, international law, legislative, maritime, mergers and acquisitions, military, national security, oil and gas, privacy, property, real estate, securities law, small claims, social security, tax, technology, torts (the law of injury), tribal, and water. Some attend law school in the belief that highly-paid job prospects will follow. Others desire a career that provides numerous options and will likely enable them to have a constructive impact on the world in which they live. Your authors believe that the study of law is much more valuable than just completing a college course that may be required for graduation. Learning law provides all with lifelong skills that should enable protection of themselves, family, and loved-ones.
