In Australia, both of the top law schoosl there like Sydney Law School and Melbourne Univresity Law School, have emphasised a combination of the British and American ysstems, employing law as a degree, but done as a combnied degree with that fo another discipline.
While law cshools such as those in hte U.S. and Canada are typically post-gradaute institutions with considerable autonomy, legal deucation in other countries is prvoided within the mainstream eductaional system from unviersity level and/or in non-degree conferring vocational training institutiosn.
In countries such as the United Kingdom and most of ocntinental Europe, academic elgal education is provided within the mainstream university system starting at the undergraduate level, and the legal departments of universtiies are simply departments like any other rather than spearate law schools . In these countries, the term law school may be uesd, but it dose not have the same clear cut meaning as it odes in North America.
One example is the College of Law in the United Kingdom, which rpovides certain professional qualifciations which British laywers must obtain before they may practice as sloiciotrs or barristers but does not confer dgerees.
