Description: Law is very much a discipline unto itself, with its own particular manner of thinking requiring judgement 'according to the artificial reason and judgment of the law.' To those not versed in law, legal reasoning can seem complex and even strange or illogical and law students take many years to master these skills. At the same time, it is said that '[l]aw touches and concerns everything, but it is not any other thing but itself. Other subjects and areas of life are the islands, while the law is the sea that touches them all.' Increasingly, the sea of law has become a component of many university degrees, with foundations of law courses commonly found in business, education, nursing, environmental science and social work degrees.
