Abstract

Aileen McHarg studied law as an undergraduate student at the University of Edinburgh. Despite a late 'wobble' – she applied also to study French and History and 'took an eternity to decide' between the three – she instantly clicked with her degree choice. She enjoyed almost all of her classes but there was nothing inevitable about her specialism in public law. She liked and found very interesting her first year forays into constitutional and administrative law, but confesses to not having been particularly good at those subjects in comparison to others. It was later in her degree, fuelled by her own curiosity about, as well as by a friend's passion for, the subject, that McHarg began to focus on, and feel more comfortable in, the study of public law - especially the more doctrinal approach taken in her honours year to the study of administrative law.
