| Preparation suggestions for prospective applicants | Research on the foundations of law is usually scientific (i.e. based on facts and evidence). Previous investigation of statistics and both governmental and non-governmental reports on the topic you are concerned with is strongly recommended. Please keep in mind that it can be hard to gather such detailed information from your own country while residing overseas. | |
