Comparing American and British Legal Education Systems: Lessons for Commonwealth African Law Kenneth Kaoma Mwenda

What is the difference between a law degree in the US and the UK? In this unprecedented book, Dr. Kenneth Mwenda, a well-seasoned international lawyer and academic, guides us through the specific details and outlines the core differences of the two largest legal education systems. Dr. Mwenda further helpfully delineates the implications of these differences for commonwealth African law schools. This book will be a critical addition for international law libraries as well as collections in education.
