  2. “ “ • The law is all pervasive. It is the foundation of all societies and defines a multitude of relationships, e.g. between individuals living as part of a society, between the individuals and the state and even between states. The law affects our every day behaviour by affording certain rights upon us, dictating acceptable conduct and also protecting individual rights and liberties. • Law is a well respected profession. It is very diverse in its practice; you could practice in any one of the following areas - human rights, international, banking and finance, immigration or even family to name but a few areas.
