Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the reform and current stage of legal education in the UK. Since the 1970s, there has been discussion on the integration of university and professional training into legal education. Many law schools have been established, and the connection between university education and training with professional organizations has been made. Each professional organization ensures the quality of university education, law schools, and practical training. However, there is a possibility that the emphasis is on practical education and academic liberal legal education is not sufficiently positioned. The introduction of SQE in the education of solicitors is considered to be a disregard of the education process in law schools. Education of professionalism has also been pointed out as a contemporary issue.
