Hey there UG Law, I was wondering how your Law degrees are structured? At my university we have three 100 level papers, Introduction to the New Zealand Legal System, Case Analysis and Statutory Interpretation. Six 200 level papers: Torts, Contracts, Public Law, Criminal (all full year), Mooting and Legal Research and Writing. There is only one compulsory 300 level paper, Property Law, and 10-12 electives at that level. Are your degrees similar (well, for you common law guys at least.)?
Are any of you doing double degrees?

Hi Kiwi. I'm currently doing an LL.B (Hons) in Law [UK]. In the first year, we did Property Law I and Land Law II, Public Law I and II, Contract Law, Foundations of The English Legal System, English Legal History (Optional Module), Mooting (Optional Module) and Legal Method II. <br><br>
When I go back on the 24th, I'm taking Employment Law, Agency and Partnership, Equity and Trusts, European Law, Torts and Criminal Law.

In the US, you go to law school after getting at least a 4 year undergraduate degree. Mine was in history with a concentration in political science.<br />
<br />
First year of law school, I took contracts, property, torts, criminal law, constitutional law, legal research & writing, and civil procedure. Second year I took evidence and income tax. The other classes were all electives, which I chose to focus on constitutional law, labor law, consumer protection law, and legal history. I received my Juris Doctor (the American basic law degree, above which is the LLM) in May 2004.
