There are two law courses at Oxford: Course I is a three-year course; Course II is a four-year course that follows the same program, but with a third year abroad at a university in France, Germany, Italy or Spain (French, German, Italian or Spanish law) or the Netherlands (study of European and international law). Students in Course II (Law with Law Studies in Europe) acquire additional skills by dealing with different legal systems and the different pedagogical approaches of our European partner institutions. The idea that a company`s employees should be allowed to elect some of the company`s board members, a system known as co-determination, has come to the forefront of U.S. corporate law policy. Elizabeth Warren`s Responsible Capitalism Act calls on employees of large corporations to elect 40% of all board members. Bernie Sanders` plan for corporate responsibility and democracy goes even further, saying workers should elect 45 percent of board members. Warren and Sanders` plans are broadly similar to Germany`s co-determination law, which for many decades has allowed employees of major German companies to elect up to half of all board members. So it`s no surprise that Senator Sanders cites Germany`s successful economic development as proof that economic progress and mandatory participation can go hand in hand. However, this article argues that co-management is ill-suited to U.S. companies. While Germany undoubtedly derives significant benefits from co-determination, the legal, social and institutional differences between Germany and the United States make it highly unlikely that the United States will be able to replicate these advantages. In addition, co-management costs in the United States would likely be much higher than in Germany. Oxford`s reputation for master`s level legal education is second to none.

All courses offered involve intensive work at a very high academic level, and the BCL and MJur are exceptional in their use of tutorials as the primary means of course delivery. Both programs offer a wide variety of options and the opportunity to specialize in specific areas or choose a diverse combination of courses. For those with more specific interests, the faculty also offers the Master`s degree in Law and Finance, the Master`s degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice, the Master`s degree in Taxation and the Graduate Diploma in Intellectual Property Law and Practice, the Master`s degree in Intellectual Property and the Master`s degree in International Human Rights Law (formerly known as the Master`s in International Human Rights Law and offered by the Department of Continuing Education). Oxford Law School, one of the largest in the UK, offers you the opportunity to study alongside some of the best law graduates of your generation under the direct supervision of some of the world`s leading lawyers. Why not take a look at the Faculty of Law`s introductory list? You can also read the BBC`s Law in Action website and download some of their podcasts, or visit the legal pages of the Guardian and Counsel magazine. Another good place to read about ongoing legal cases are court reports in large format newspapers. For its research students, the faculty offers a wider range of legal and interdisciplinary specializations that suit the diverse interests of faculty members. For many research students, the ultimate goal will be a DPhil, Oxford`s term for a PhD qualification, but the faculty also offers a one-year MPhil course that can be taken alone or as a path to DPhil. As a research student, you can expect close cooperation with a subject supervisor who will help you develop your ideas and complete your thesis.

While there is no assumption that our law graduates will pursue a career in law, around 75% of Oxford law graduates go on to pursue their legal careers. Although Oxford law graduates are more likely to earn a Bachelor of Laws than a Bachelor of Laws, each of Oxford`s law courses counts as a qualifying law degree, so Oxford law graduates can immediately proceed to the Law Society`s Professional Training Course (for lawyers). The pathways to the qualification as a lawyer are changing and students who start studies from 2022 or later will have to take the Lawyer Qualification Examination (SQE).

All applicants must pass the National Admissions Test for Law (LNAT) as part of their application. A number of other universities also require candidates to take this test, registration for the test is required, and it is the responsibility of the candidate to ensure that they are enrolled in these tests. We strongly recommend that you prepare well in advance of the deadline. Everything you need to know, including a guide on how to prepare, can be found on the LNAT page. Island students are entitled to different support than students in the rest of the UK. You`ll study between one and two subjects at a time (or up to three subjects in the third year), so you`ll likely have one to two one-hour tutorials per week (in a group of two to four students) and be asked to write an essay for each tutorial. Lectures are often seen as an optional supplement, with the exercise system being our main form of teaching. On average, most students attend two to three hours of lectures (or seminars for third-year options) each week. Most of your work time (we assume the workload is 45 hours per week) will be spent reading, thinking, and writing your essays in preparation for tutorials.
