I think the only person who'se making any sense in this forum is BILAAL. There's absolutely nothing wrong with studying Law, as along as you are moral and ethical about it. Now most of you are looking at the negative aspect of law, what we mostly see on T.V. Beyond that, most of us have very limited knowledge as to what Law entails. It has sooo many domains, not only the Criminal Court aspect. I was speaking with a Law student not too long ago (I was considering studyin it myself, but the hours and the stress-level definitely turned me off). She mentioned that only about 10% of all lawyers actually work in courts. So exactly what do the other 90% do? They work in property, tort, family, commercial, etc, aspects of the law. In this country, where the Muslims are under-represented, we definitely need some in those fields. Those areas doesnt scream HARAAM to me..or maybe I'm jus westernized? :rolleyes: Yeah...thats the simplest answer we Somalis come up with to dismiss something lol....inshallah, we'll outgrow it...someday.
