Securing a Law scholarship may be one of the hardest things a student will compete for in their life.

As a matter of fact, Japan has five of the top Law universities available in the world. Because back in the early 2000’s the Japanese government had passed a law about the length of time a student should take to study law. Instead of a traditional 4 years like with pretty much everywhere else, they instead have studies that take 5 to 7 years to fully understand their Law degree.
Even today, students that graduate in Japan must have their Law degree before they can even think about taking the Bar Exam.
A student that intends to study law on an international scale will need to study not only the country that they intend to study within but also multiple countries. For instance, students will need to take a course called ‘International Law and Policy.’
The classes involved within the first year of working towards a Law degree would include:
- Criminal Law
- Constitutional Law
- Property Law
- Civil Law
- Writing or Elements of the Law
- Legal Research
From the first year students should start practice taking their LSAT tests, this is typically a requirement even from the first year. Simply because no student will have a high score until there have been a few rounds where the student has taken the exam. Also, a student’s grade point average would need to be as high as possible when it comes to law degrees. A high grade point average and high LSAt exam scores are completely essential and important for each Law student.
This is nice.
