[Ads-l] Antedating of "Law School"

[Dan Goncharoff]

I don't know if English law schools at the time. What I do know is that law
students spent a lot of time at the courts, which were also in the Palace
of Westminster. It is possible there was a room (or rooms) for debate and
lectures called the Law School, also used by Parliament.
