A '''law school''' is an educational institution that trains [[lawyer]]s. It is universally required for lawyers in the United States. Typically, a student must spend three years in law school to earn a [[J.D.]] (''Juris Doctor'', Latin for 'doctor of law') degree. Some law schools may also offer a PhD in law. Most prospective lawyers need an undergraduate degree to be admitted, and admission to law school is competitive. A J.D. degree, along with passing the [[bar examination]], will grant a person legal license to work as an attorney.

== Universities ==
There are roughly 200 law schools in the United States, most of which are part of a larger university. The most prestigious law schools are themselves within prestigious universities, such as [[Harvard Law School]]. Technical (science-focused) institutes and liberal arts colleges are unlikely to have an attached law school.
== Admissions ==
Law schools are selective in their admissions, and the occupation of a lawyer is highly desired. The [[Law School Admission Test]] (LSAT) is universally taken by applicants, assessing one's abilities in logic and reading.
