Welcome to the student's area of the Law Library. This section has been prepared as a general guide for students at university, but can also be utilised to facilitate study at other levels.

Many people appear to have the faulty impression that study is merely a matter of attending classes, taking some notes, and occasionally reviewing materials on hand - unfortunately this is not true - well at least if you want to be successful. It is much nearer the truth to say that study and schooling is much broader, involving combinations of intense techniques, procedures, and above all else - continued persistence. In short, it would be fair to say that being a good student is about one's state of mind - if not lifestyle.

In preparing this manual, a variety of guides and personal experiences have been drawn upon from Criminology, Psychology, and Social Sciences - updating, extending and modifying as found necessary to serve the current needs of programs and courses offered at various institutions.
