LSE Law is one of the world's elite law schools. Many of the academics who teach on the LLM have globally leading reputations. LSE Law is one of LSE's largest and most pre-eminent departments with over 60 academic members of staff. It enjoys a uniquely international academic community with staff and students from all over the world.

LSE Law is well known both for its interdisciplinary approaches to legal scholarship and its contextual approach to legal study and teaching. Academics at LSE believe that to understand the law, its function, and effects, it is essential to place it within the political, social and economic context within which it is formed and operates.

The identity of LSE Law is inextricably linked to its geographical location in the heart of UK legal life. Our campus is adjacent to the Royal Court of Justice and Lincoln's Inn, one of the four Inns of Court of which all barrister must be members. It is a short walk away from the Houses of Parliament, the offices of the largest global law firms, and regulatory bodies such as the Takeover Panel and the Financial Reporting Council.
