Default Re: Calling all lawyers! List of specific fields for Law

My professor of Foundation law claimed that Anti-trust law was a field that required constant updating, making it almost impenetrable for anyone but a full-time expert. Same goes for corporate law. Some fields, however, remain very static. The central crime law in Sweden hasn't changed all that much since 1965, and the biggest change after that came in 2011 by way of the Swedish supreme court. Material law is also pretty static, if complicated.

Also, much like Apoc wrote, law school doesn't teach you the law so much as it teaches you how to understand a legal system. You could drop me or any of my classmates in front of just about any law and we could get a pretty good idea of how to implement it after a little checking of court rulings and comments. Unless it's the Handelsbalk. Nobody likes the Handelsbalk.
