About universities. I am considering studying law in Israel and becoming a lawyer. It looks like litigation, one of the areas (I thought) I was most interested in, isn't as popular in Israel as is corporate law. But I have decided not to worry about that now. I want to apply to several graduate schools (law schools), hopefully with the possibility of doing a combined LLB/LLM program (it still bugs me that I will have a BA).
These are the ones I will need to consider:
- Bar-Ilan U.
- Tel-Aviv U.
- U. of Haifa
- U. of J'lem
In case you have nodded off at this point, feel free to vote in my poll, "Would you attend law school in Israel?" I'd love to hear comments, especially to those of you who pick "no." Why not go to law school there?
Other ones (that I'd never heard of, probably because they are schools of law at other colleges. Thank you, Wikipedia) include:
- Academic Center of Law & Business, Ramat Gan
- College of Management, Rishon Lezion
- Interdisciplinary Center (IDC), Herzliya
- Netanya Academic College, Netanya
- Ono Academic College, Kiryat Ono
- Sha'arei Mishpat, Hod HaSharon
I will definitely focus on the big guys...or might this chart below (
from Wikipedia) suggest otherwise? I need to look at the details, because numbers alone do not tell a good (in any sense of the word) story! I think this chart is unlikely to be useful by itself.
