[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]L[b]aw school is essentially the same as an undergrad degree, [/b]but USA determines social status by how many years of school you can afford, so they add extra years to professional degrees.

WTF are you talking about? I did four years at a SLAC and three at a T3 law school.[/quote]

[b]I think the PP's point is it's a first degree in the subject, not advanced study.  On the other hand undergrad degrees include a lot of study outside the major, while the law student has three years of study in the area.

And yes in many countries law degrees are first degrees.  There's no evidence that lawyers in say Britain or Australia are undereducated.  [/quote][/b]

No one said that, but the training to be a British lawyer is actually longer - not the the three years plus bar exam.  It's three years PLUS training for four years in chambers to [b]be a solicitor for a total of seven years.[/quote][/b]

+1.  At least six years to become a solicitor.  https://www.lawsociety.org.uk/career-advice/becoming-a-solicitor#:~:text=without%20a%20degree-,How%20long%20it%20takes,to%20follow%20a%20legal%20career.[/quote]
