I am ashamed of many things, but studying law is the only thing of which I am ashamed to degree level. Even lawyers don’t study law at university. They study something that a human being might be interested in, like history or English literature, and after university, when they find out there’s no money in history or English literature, take a law conversion course. I’m not saying we don’t need lawyers. But that’s only because I’ve been legally advised not to make that statement.
