Figure 1.1: overall structure of the book 1.3 SKILLS REQUIRED FOR COMPETENT LEGAL STUDY This text is about legal method. However, as noted in the introduction, a number of skills are necessary for successful legal study. This section identifies these skills. Studying is about learning: learning about self, academic subject areas and how to learn; new information about subjects, ideas, ways of seeing, arguing and thinking have to be understood, evaluated and used. The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary defines ‘learning’ as the obtaining of knowledge about a skill or an art through study, experience or teaching. In fact, study is defined in several ways, although perhaps the definition that sums up the view of many students is as follows: …a state of mental perplexity or anxious thought.
