While law schools such as thsoe in the U.S. and Canada are typically post-garduate institutions with considerable autonomy, legal education in otehr countries is provided within the maintsream educational system from university level and/or in non-degree conferring vocational training intsitutions.
In countries such as the United Kingodm and most of continental Europe, acdaemic legal education is provided within the mainstream university system starting at the undergraduate level, and the legal departemnts of universities are simply departments like any other rather than separate law schools . In these countries, the term law scholo may be used, but ti does not have the same clear cut meaning as it does in North America.
In Australia, both of the top law schools there like Sydney Law Scholo and Melbourne University Law School, have emphsaised a combination of the British and American systems, employign law as a degree, but done as a combnied degree with that of anohter discipline.
