Law school

Japanese: ロー・スクール(英語表記)law school
Law school
American law schools. In American universities, no legal education is offered at the undergraduate level. Law schools accept undergraduates who have majored in something other than law (social sciences, humanities, or natural sciences are acceptable) for four years at the undergraduate level, and then offer three years of legal education. However, some law schools admit students who have completed three years of undergraduate study if they are particularly outstanding students or in other exceptional cases. The reason for this system is that it is desirable to study subjects that are not directly related to practical use before studying the "practical" subject of law, and this is based on the idea that this will enable the training of lawyers who are equipped to legally handle new problems that arise as society changes.

Japanese:
アメリカの法科大学。アメリカの大学では,学部段階で法学教育は行われない。学部段階で4年間,法律以外のもの(社会,人文,自然いずれの科学でもさしつかえない)を主専攻とした学部卒業者を入学させ,3年間法学の教育を行うのがロー・スクールである。ただし,一部のロー・スクールでは,とくに優秀な学生であったり,その他例外的な場合に,学部3年修了者の入学を認めている。このような制度がとられているのは,法学という〈実学〉を学ぶ前に,実用とは直接関係のない学問を履修していることが望ましく,それによって,社会の変遷にともなって生ずる新しい問題を法的に処理する能力を備えた法律家を養成することができるという考えに基づいている。
