Section 3: Procedures, Issues, and Careers

Lesson Summary

This lesson probably required considerable time on your part, especially when it came to finding the information you needed. If you are the kind of person who finds it difficult to approach people you do not know, it may have required a bit of courage if you conducted an interview. However, you should consider this time well spent. Not only did you get to learn about specific jobs in the area of civil litigation that might appeal to you, but you will find the process you went through to be a useful one for researching any job that may be of interest, no matter what line of work it is in. Be sure to keep it in mind as you consider your career options.

You should now know a good deal more about negligence law; you have learned some of the nuts and bolts of civil procedure and you have exercised your mind on difficult issues. And if by any chance you are thinking of a legal career, you should be further along the road to discovering whether this might be the right move for you.

Legal Studies 3040 Summary

And that pretty well wraps up your work on negligence law, an area of the law that can affect almost anyone at any time. You do not have to deliberately try to harm anyone or break a law to find yourself caught up in a negligence suit. For this reason, it is important for people to be aware of their responsibilities to other people whose lives they might somehow affect so they can take the steps necessary to minimize the changes of every being held liable for harm to another.

Negligence law is important to know about, but many people find it a particularly interesting area of legal studies as well. It is a part of the law that seems especially relevant, topical, and close to people's lives. If you have enjoyed your studies in the law of negligence, try to keep up the habit of following negligence cases as they appear in the news; it is a habit that will keep you informed while continuing to provide a never-ending source of interest.
