<p>I'm a rising senior and very interested in applying to the UK for university, especially Oxford University. I'm very interested in law, and should I be accepted into Oxford's undergraduate law course, I could have a degree within 3 years. With that, I would be able to practice law in the UK or throughout Europe, however in the US when stacked up against JD's from Harvard or Yale (who would also be considerably older than me) I probably would not be able to secure a job. That said, I don't know where I'd like to live in the future.
Would you recommend I take another undergrad course at Oxford like PPE or Philosophy and Psychology (which i'm not as interested in) and then apply to a US Law school, or follow my interests and take law at Oxford?
Thanks for your input!</p>
<p>If you want to practice law in England or another part of Europe, you’re better off with the law at Oxford. If you want to practice law in the United States, you’re better off at a US law school.</p>
<p>You need to decide this first.</p>
<p>^That’s correct. As far as I’m concerned, medicine and law are two fields that build very strict and local markets. If you’re more inclined to work in the US, you could maybe look for a Business or Finances major right now (though more different than the ones you mentioned, IMO they are more prestigious and can work for a lawyer).</p>
<p>I am not sure, though, whether you could still go to Law School in the US after finishing a Law undergraduate course in the UK. It would be something else for you to check.</p>
<p>You have to learn the laws of the country you’ll be practicing in.</p>
<p>Question: Your client is a suspected domestic terrorist. He has been held without charge for 20 days so far. Is this legal?</p>
<p>Can you answer without knowing which country you’re in?</p>
<p>BillyMac, did the suspect get tortured ???</p>
<p>
Well, the answer was legal in the UK (up to 28 days), illegal in the US (would be legal under Patriot Act if it was an enemy combatant, not a domestic terrorist). Both torture, neither should.</p>
<p>The point was that laws and legal practices vary greatly. That’s just one I knew.</p>
<p>im also a rising senior and i wanted to know if yale professors actually pay attention to their undergrads and what the engineering program is like</p>
<p>autumn: you should post to the Yale forum. Lots of activity there.</p>

<p>Yale’s undergraduate experience is at or near the top of the list, it’s generally held.</p>
<p>What the hell is a ‘rising senior’? lol</p>
<p>I guess a senior citizen that can still keep rising. hee hee hee</p>
