law school
Classroom space for higher education in law, training lawyers, legal academics, or other legal specialists.
A law school is a classroom space for higher education where students train to become lawyers, or academics or other specialists, in the field of law. Law schools are usually institutions of postgraduate study, requiring a university degree for admittance.
Professional legal practice is one destination, while academic and specialist careers are also included. A school need not train only future practicing lawyers.
The use identifies the teaching space. Legal services carried out in an office are different from higher education in the subject.
