Legal Skills for Non Legal Professionals


Summary

The British Academy for Training and Development offers the Legal Skills for Non Legal Professionals 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. Unlike the exact sciences such as chemistry and physics, legal definitions can be flexible and include multiple perspectives and exceptions. Law consists of a set of rules that govern the relationships and rights between individuals and organizations and between individuals and the state, with penalties for non-compliance.
