Reading Law

"Reading Law" is the traditional practice where aspiring lawyers study legal texts, statutes, and case law directly, often through mentorship with experienced attorneys or judges, rather than attending formal law school. This method emphasizes practical learning of legal principles and reasoning by engaging with real legal materials and discussions. While less common today, it offers an alternative pathway to becoming a lawyer in some regions, providing a hands-on approach to understanding the law through direct, immersive experience rather than classroom education alone.
