Law at Trinity College is a four-year honors degree programme. The first two (Freshman) years are given over to the study of core legal modules (many of which are required by the legal professional bodies). There is an appropriate balance in the Freshman years between the academic and practical aspects of law, achieved through the introduction of legal skills and mooting (mock trials) programmes, and assisted in part by members of our academic body with experience of private practice. In your Sophister (third and fourth) years you can focus on particular areas of law chosen from a range of approximately 30 modules each year.

A law degree provides the ideal foundation for the aspiring solicitor or barrister. However, law offers wider opportunities than professional practice alone, with many graduates finding employment in public administration, business, journalism, accountancy, banking, insurance, politics, foreign affairs, diplomacy and international financial services.
