Completing a dissertation can be a daunting task for any student. On the other hand, law students are particularly vulnerable to this. Any issue addressed in a law dissertation must be carefully framed in order to be understood. To successfully complete a law dissertation, it is critical to locate relevant primary sources in the form of statutory instruments and case law decisions, in print or online, where applicable. A law dissertation’s topic must be thoroughly scrutinised. To contextualise the arguments made in the completed work, you will typically need to consult reputable secondary sources in addition to the primary sources used to write your law dissertation, such as government and organisational documentation and the perspectives of scholars.
