Wherever there are governments, there is applied the rule of law. Earning your law degree abroad is the opportunity to travel to essentially any country in the world and learn from their expertise and nuances in the field. More so than many other degrees you might pursue abroad, law is concretely a universal practice, and so can be seriously pursued all across the global landscape.

So where are the best law schools in the world located? As is the same in many other academic fields, the United States and United Kingdom take the cake when it comes to prestige and quality of law degrees abroad. The global centrality and influence of these nations make them perennially the most popular destinations for law students from around the world. Other English-speaking countries including Australia and Ireland are close behind in this regard.

If you are fluent in another language or willing to learn, then there are tons of fruitful destinations for a law degree abroad which lay beyond the English-speaking world as well. China and Singapore boast some of the best legal programs in Asia, Germany and the Netherlands follow suit in Europe, and as do Argentina and Mexico in Latin America. The field is wide open, so choose wisely!
