Although by no means necessary, it is always useful to have read a few books on or about law before considering a conversion course, attending an interview, or beginning one's degree. Below are a selection of colleges' reading lists and introductory texts that are sent to potential students. By no means is reading these books compulsory, but these are some pieces of literature which have been chosen for their friendliness to the law layman, as well as being (relatively!) enjoyable to read.
