Every year, many are initiated into the study of law, most probably impelled by the desire to pursue a career in law which society holds in high esteem. Every year, these students are exhorted to "act and think like a lawyer" and they plunge headlong into the sea of cases, probing questions of lecturers and professors, and the intimidating and voluminous textbooks of law. Like a roaring and frothing sea, carrying with it debris, broken twigs and lifeless wood, soon the student is carried by the tide. "You are privileged to be here," the student will be reminded. This will be codename for the student to work hard and speak, think and act like a lawyer. Yet, the student, amid all these, will not have some kind of a "survival guide" on swimming in these uncharted waters. This informative and interactive book addresses that need. It is written in a plain language, deliberately shorn of any legalese or jargon in order to communicate salient ideas on the study of law, examinations, pupilage and admission to the bar. It is meant for aspiring students of law, current law students at the universities and the Kenya School of Law, law lecturers and professors, practitioners of law and any reader who wants to know what law is and the journey from being a law student from the university to the Kenya School of Law to admission to the bar and beyond.
