- The insane course-load and schedule Hogwarts students (especially 5th years) have is similar to that of a first year law student.
- They have Potions, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Herbology, Care of Magical Creatures and Divination (if you're Hermione Granger there is also Ancient Runes).
- A first year law student has torts, civil procedure, contracts, legal research and writing, criminal procedure (or law) and property.
- They have Quidditch practice, Gobstones club, visits to Hogsmeade, and Dumbledore's Army.
- A first year law student may join organizations such as BLSA, FedSoc, ACS, SPELA, etc.
- The extreme importance of exams.
- They get year-end exams, and O.W.L.S. and N.E.W.T.S.
- A law student gets semester-end exams and then there is the dreaded bar.
- The Socratic Method.
- Remember Harry's first day of potions with Professor Snape? "What's a bezoar Mr. Potter?"...
- The first day of law school in civil procedure -- "Can you tell me who is the plaintiff and who is the defendant?"...
- The slightly sadistic faculty
- Professor Snape
- Your Contracts Professor...whomever s/he may be
- The annoying classmate(s) who just seem to get it without any discernible extra effort...
- Hermione Granger
- ??? You know who it is in your section
To sum it up shortly and sweetly: Potions = Contracts
