                Higher Studies in Law by Joshua Aston is an indispensable guide for students willing to pursue higher studies in law. The book exhaustively covers the Postgraduate degree programmes in law (LL.M., BCL, etc.), Doctorate degree programmes in law, Advanced Postgraduate Research Degree, Juris Doctor Degree, etc.

                The author has discussed topics ranging from the do’s and don’t, while filling out the application form to the law school admission policies and practices. The readers will get all information about the personal statements, CVs, writing samples, interviews, recommendation letters and their role in securing admission. English Language Proficiency is a prerequisite for securing admission in law school. The book discusses about the various tests such as IELTS, TOEFL, etc.

                Getting a visa is another important task, as this is the final passport to enter the country where one has secured admission. As going for higher studies has become expensive, the author has discussed about the cost involved and how to pay for it. The option of scholarships, grants and fellowship sources, tuition discounts, etc. have also been discussed.

                The book also enlightens about things that students should know while living abroad and also guides students in securing a job or enrolling in the Bar after completion of studies.

                The book in its appendices contains details about scholarships, grants and fellowship sources, exhaustive information about specialisations offered at law schools, and postal address/contact details of law schools. Further, information on the number of seats available, duration of the course, admission criteria, application fee, dissertation and internship requirements, tuition fees, cost of living, etc. of prominent law schools is also covered.

                The book will prove to be useful to students willing to pursue a career in law.
