I am in need of advice of what to do this upcoming fall when I will be applying to law school. I am a senior at The Ohio State Univeristy and am set on studying international law. I am familiar with my options here at home in the U.S but I am also considering options in Europe. I majored in Political Science and minored in Turkish. I aspire to work for an international firm that works between the U.S and other countries. I am wondering whether studying in Europe is a good option, how long is does it take to obtain a law degree, where should I study, how do I apply, and any other general advice. I have looked at schools in London, Stockholm law school, and Amsterdam law school are these good options? Any type of information would be great appreciated. Please respond to this post or email me at tarikerk2260@gmail.com

-Thank You

Also will my undergraduate degree be sufficent to apply to a law school in europe? I am having a hard time finding this information. If anyone can give some info it would be a big help

Hi,
Most uni's in Northern Europe (Scandinavia, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany) are all of a good level. Rankings do not tell much about the difference. Choose the program you're most interested in. For the UK it's different. Top law schools in London are UCL, KLC, LSE.
Regarding your degree. I think it really depends on the individual requirements of the law school. As law is an undergraduate degree in Europe, you might find yourself struggling.
I know that in the UK it is possible to 'stream' into law after having done a different undergraduate degree. You might want to look into that. Also if you want to practice in the US, I'd advise the UK because of it's similar system.
Good luck!

Since law is an undergraduate degree in Europe, you'll have difficulty in finding an (English) program which concentrates directly on international law..

Most will focus on the national law of the country itself, and the degrees which focus on international law are mostly reserved for the master students.

However, I do know that Maastricht University in the Netherlands offers a three-year bachelor which is called the "European Law School" and, unlike most other programs, has a focus on European an International law and is entirely taught in English..
