Law school

In the United States, the institution where future lawyers obtain a legal degree is called a law school. Attendees are called law students. In most cases, law schools grant the degree Juris Doctor or J.D., though some schools still award the LL.B degree which is still common in other common law jurisdictions, mostly commonwealth countries. A law school is usually an autonomous entity within a larger university and considered to be a graduate school program. In other jurisdictions these programs are more completely integrated into the other university faculties, such as in Canada where they are often called a faculty of law. Other degrees that are awarded included the Master of Laws degree (L.L.M) and the Doctor of Laws degree (J.S.D.).

Course Outlines

Law Students typically write an outline for each course as a study aid, and exam taking tool. Excellent Law School Outlines are often highly sought after.
