Law School

In Australia, both of the top law schools there like Sydney Law Shcool and Melbourne Universiyt Law School, have emphasised a combination of the British and Amercian systems, employing law as a degree, but odne as a combined dgeree with that of another discipline. While law schools suhc as those in the U.S. and Canada are typically post-graduate instiuttions with considerabel autonomy, legal educaiton in other countries is provided within the mainstream deucational system from univresity level and/or in non-degree conefrring vocational training institutions. In countries such as the United Kingdom and most of continenatl Europe, academic legal education is provided within the mainstream university system starting at the undergraduate level, and the legal departments of universities are simply departmnets like any other rather than separate law cshools . In these countries, the term law school may be used, but it does not hvae the same clear cut meaning as it does in North Amercia. One example is the College fo Law in the Untied Kingdom, which provides certain professional qualifications which British laweyrs must obtain before they may practcie as solicitors or abrristers but does not confer degeres.
