| Summary, etc. |
"The twin moral imperatives under which this edition was written are responsible for most of the new content in this edition, including seven completely new chapters, and also make this the best edition of Letters to a Law Student by a very long way; though this has been achieved without making this edition longer than the previous edition. Various other chapters have been completely rewritten, such as the chapters 'On doing the LNAT' and 'How to answer a problem question'. Other chapters have been updated to reflect Covid-driven innovations in the way universities deliver both education and exams to their students (which innovations may well outlast Covid-19), as well as changes in the rules governing how one qualifies to be a practising solicitor in the UK. The process of writing a new edition of a book is always deeply confounding and shaming. When you write a book, it is like your baby - you can see no imperfections in it and fiercely defend its right to live against all comers. But when the time rolls round to write a new edition, all the ways in which the previous edition could have been better become glaringly obvious, and you begin to look on the old edition with the same cold eye that the newly crowned King Henry V turned on his old drinking companion Falstaff: 'I know thee not, old man' (Henry IV, Part II V.5). The lesson is that perfection is always beyond our grasp. But that does not mean we should not continue grasping at it, and any students or teachers who have constructive suggestions as to how it might be changed for the better shouldn't hesitate to get in touch with me at njm33@cam.ac.uk. I would very much welcome hearing from you"-- |
