Modern legal education is expanding both in quantity and in scope, and university legal education has become dominant everywhere. The opportunities for
university and professional education in law increased greatly after World War II.
In England and Wales, for example, where before the war only the universities of
Cambridge, Oxford, and London produced significant numbers of law graduates,
there are now more than 50 academic law departments. A particularly noteworthy
development has been the increase in women law students, now consisting 30 to 40
percent of law students in most countries. The number of students admitted to law
schools in the United States tripled between 1961 and 1980. After that demand for
legal education began to level off and even decline.
Since the late 1960s universities in several countries have departed from the
rigidity of prescribed syllabi to allow a greater range of student choice in selecting
subjects. In most countries, more attention is paid to foreign legal systems,
transnational law, and to comparative law. In some countries non-legal subjects
have long been part of the syllabus; in others where law as a first degree
specialization has comprised only law studies, there has been a tendency to include
non-legal studies, joint courses in law and social sciences, or a more sociological
approach to law.
Most law schools are trying to find a middle path between being mere trade
schools or citadels of pure theory.
