Law schools in France are not independent as in other countries.
The best law schools in France do not have great international recognition.
In France the law schools are not independent, as is the case in other countries. The law schools are adjoined to a university, which offers a variety of subjects for their students to study, as opposed to operating as an independent institution which specializes exclusively in legal studies. The majority of courses in French law schools concern French law, which in turn concerns European Union law.
