I am studying criminal justice and will be graduating in December. I love the studies that are involved with law because it really narrows your frame of mind on how you should think when dealing with the law, emotions aside.
I think it is fascinating because it is one of the few things that EVERYONE must follow. If they do not, they will be giving up their most treasured right; freedom.
The law is so interesting in that everything we do on a daily basis revolves around morals, values and eithics, all of these are governed to some degree by the law which makes studying it and ongoing and never-ending process. I cannot wait to enforcing the law and then hopefully going on to practice it because to me, it is the foundation of our justice system and regardless of who you are, you must obey it.

Tedious is a better description... It could be fascinating if the subject matter fascinates someone. I study some aspects of law, and I do find it interesting. Common sense and logic are thrown out the window. The guilty could be acquitted and the innocent could be found guilty!
Strange more than fascinating!
A Deceptive Charade is what I've heard lawyers to practice.

I don't know about the study, but the practice is fascinating because it's so important. When else are you holding other peoples lives in your hands? A doctor? A pilot? A general officer? These people hold the responsibility of other peoples lives and have great influence on peoples lives. I could never be a lawyer, I'm too softhearted and I would take everything too personally. It takes a special kind of person to shoulder that kind of responsibility, and I'm glad someone else is willing to do it so I don't have to.

Frustrating, more than fascinating. I look at constitutional law, especially some majority opinions written by Justice William O. Douglas, and think to myself, "How on earth could such a REtard have gotten a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court? Hell, I could write a judicial opinion better than that, and I haven't even been to law school!"

Power. The majority of politicians seem to all get their start in law. Clinton, Nixon, Adams, etc, etc, etc. Very few presidents have been anything else (the present one however was not). It is also an route to a pretty comfortable life style, but there is a lot of work involved and it costs a lot of money to finish law school. The process takes 7 years.

The challenge of working in a field where there are no clear answers - everything an attorney deals with is a fuzzy area of grey, otherwise you wouldn't need an attorney.

That is easy----the lure of easy money earned from the suffering of others. that is why a lawyer will never guarantee any work done.

I would find it very tedious, but I am glad there are those that love it and practice it.
