You should want to study law if you want to understand how social interactions work and if you want to develop an ability to focus on details. For me it was the best decision I ever made.

I don't know why YOU would want to. I know I wanted to because I had a degree in English with no where to go in my career, so I figured I needed another degree and thought law would be interesting. People go to law school for different reasons. Some because they like watching lawyer shows on tv and think that's what it's really like. Others because their mother or father is a lawyer and they just always figured they would be one, too. Others because they are done with undergrad and just don't know what else to do and continuing to go to school seems a reasonable way to put off having to get a "real" job. Not all people who study law end up practicing attorneys. What you will learn, besides an understanding of the law, is how to be an argumentative writer.

Well, that's really up to you, but I'll try to give you some general reasons.
a. law school will help you to think logically and notice details in every day life you never noticed before. This is very true for US law school, who hammer a new way of thinking into the students. By the end of year 1, a law student should be able to think in incredible detail.
b. you will have a greater understanding of what the law is and how and why it affects you.
c. you will learn public speaking and public debate and will probably be less afraid of speaking up in public. I don't know any lawyers or law students who are afraid of making their ideas known, and usually they are better than the average person.
Hope that helps you out.

Well, you should want to know the law in order to practice-in order to help people in varying situations. You shouldn't be in it for the money. You should not mind reading TONS of cases, some of which are so boring, you might rather eat your own arm. You should not mind getting called on in class, especially when you are unprepared. You should be willing to subject your way of thinking to a total upheaval..you'll start thinking "like a lawyer"...But mostly, you should have respect for the Constitution, the laws of this country and of your specific state..and be inspired by them.
I'm currently in law school, and there is a quote on the building it says "Law students should never forget they are fitting themselves to be ministers of justice"...and I have to confess, it gives me goosebumps, but so does the Declaration of Independence. So, you can probably guess that you should also be a bit of a nerd.... :) Good luck in whatever you choose.

You should study law because you are the future of America! You need to be proactive instead of reactive to situations and become a major player in changing antiquated or useless laws into something more cutting edge; not just status quo, but beyond that!!! Think 10 steps ahead and become a Border Collie, not one of the nondescript sheep out there....

I went to a law school and graduated with a *** laude degree. I think knowing the law will do wonders for your daily life. I suggest that you study law, but you do not need to practice law.

You shouldn't "want to study law"--either you have a passion for it or you don't. That is 3 years of your life and $150,000 of your money. It is a huge investment. If you aren't sure you want to, I wouldn't do it. Contrary to popular belief, new attorneys do not make big bucks out of law school.
Law school is a babysitter for 20 somethings who don't know what to do in life.
