This book explores what it means to think critically and offers practical tips and advice for students to develop the process, skill and ability of thinking critically while studying law, as well as beyond that in the workplace.The second edition of Thinking Critically About Law utilises art, music, poetry and prose to explore essential questions about studying law and what it means to think critically, offering practical tips and advice for students looking to develop critical thinking skills in relation to law.
