Why is this course for me? You will learn about the principles and rules of law, and position this knowledge in the broader historical context of law. Tis will give you an understanding of how historical scholarship can inform our knowledge of law and the develop- ment of legal systems. You will learn fundamental legal concepts
and principles, cultivate an ability to analyse law, engage in legal reasoning, gain a thorough understanding in the academic discipline of his- tory and acquire research skills in the fields of law and history.

Studying history has really enhanced my understanding and appreciation of law. It also broadens my career prospects as my law degree is made more versatile by studying the two subjects in tandem. I didn’t study History for the Leaving
Cert and I have had no problems taking it at third level. I would advise anyone even vaguely considering a career in law or those seeking an interesting and rewarding undergraduate degree with real and varied career prospects to strongly consider Law with History. I am lucky enough to be spending my third year study- ing at Université de Fribourg in Switzerland, which I am really looking forward to.
