Studying in England can enhance your law school experience.
Choosing the right law school can be a difficult task. There are many factors to consider besides just cost and reputation. Many law students choose their program based partly on the types of law programs the schools offer. Students wanting to study international law may wish to consider a law school with a study abroad program. Several American law schools offer study abroad programs in England.
