Legal Skills for Non Legal Professionals


Summary

The British Academy for Training and Development offers a Legal Skills for Non-Lawyers course designed for anyone looking to acquire substantial skills in managing legal affairs and understanding the importance of this role.

Law is a social science concerned with human behavior, actions, and reactions, and it is a complex, ever-evolving subject that cannot be easily defined. Legal systems are essential to governing the relationships between people and ensuring safety within society.

Law not only governs actions but is also a craft that is difficult and complex.
