Abstract
What is law? How can one learn law? What can one achieve after learning law? This author shares with his readers his personal experience of being a student of law for over five decades, pointing out that we must recognize first of all that law is but one of the many norms society needs, and that law is not just command and logic, It has its roots in people’s social experience. Thus one cannot learn law as a simple technology, one must go beyond and above law to study the humanities, social sciences and philosophy, and to learn how law in coordination with other social norms upholds and promotes justice and harmony in society. If one limits his study merely to the texts of law one can only be a legal technician, whereas those who have learned more can be a true master of law and serve as good practicing lawyers, legislators and leaders of society.
