A law school (or school of law) is an institution specializing in legal education.

Law schools in Canada and the United States typically require three years of study after completing an undergraduate degree. Programs which offer part-time study or joint-degree programs may last four years. Upon graduation from law school, students are awarded a professional degree, the Juris Doctor.

In addition to attending law school, in most jurisdictions a law student is required to pass the state bar in order to practice law. The Multistate Bar Examination is offered in some jurisdictions.
