| | Law (academic) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The education of a lawyer is partly taken up with general principles of law and partly with the laws and procedures of the jurisdiction the law school is located in, that information being necessary for passing the bar in a specific jurisdiction. | | | Law is an undergraduate degree mainly in civil law countries. | | | Sometimes they are also called notaries (not to be confused with notary public which is an individual who is licensed to act as a witness to certain transactions, take oaths and authenticate signatures). |

| | Students who do not have a first degree in law but who have passed the bar exam and are practicing lawyers in their own country are usually deemed to have J.D. or LL.B. equivalence for the purposes of admission to this program. | | | Applicants to the Asian and Comparative Law LL.M. from the United States, Europe or Australasia must be proficient in an Asian language or a language in which original research on Asian law can be conducted, at a level equivalent to that received in a third-year college course. | | | This is a demanding requirement, but one that gives students an opportunity to master a comparative aspect of U.S. law and the law of their own jurisdiction. |

| | The MacArthur Justice Center is a public interest law firm in which students assist in litigating a wide range of matters involving the criminal justice system. | | | It grows out of our conviction that the law does not exist in a vacuum; we can understand the law and legal methods only if we understand both how the law affects the behavior of the society it governs and how the law reflects the values of that society. | | | For example, students in the Criminal and Juvenile Justice Project, in addition to representing children and young adults accused of delinquent or criminal behavior, are often involved in policy reform and community education. |
