About the Cambridge Law degree
The undergraduate Law course at Cambridge is intended to give a thorough grounding in the principles of law viewed from an academic rather than a vocational perspective.
We encourage Cambridge Law students to think beyond the black letter of the rules. This means that we challenge students to consider questions like:
- Where did this law come from? How did it develop over time?
- How might this law apply in novel situations?
- What is the intended purpose? What social objectives do these rules serve?
- Is this law accomplishing its intended purpose? Are there any unintended consequences?
- Does this law need to be reformed?
