You certainly can. Google for a list of unis that offer Law and their ranking. Then take a look at their criteria, many will actually give you the GPA they require. It is common for American graduates to apply to undergraduate school with senior status meaning that they are waived the first year. Alternatively, you can read Law as a postgrad. I suppose which way you go will depend on what you have studied so far.

There are a few routes you could take: 1. You *could* do a law degree in the UK, however, law in the UK is an undergraduate degree. After completing your law degree you'd have to take either the BVC or the LPC (another year) and find pupillage or training contract (another year). 2. You could take that GDL (one year conversion course taken by UK graduates in non-law subjects) followed by BVC/LPC & Pupillage/Training Contract. 3. You could qualify in the US, then do and LLM etc in the UK 4. You could qualify in the US practice in the US for a few years and then attempt to do the QLTT (which has some further UK experience requirements). For law degrees and LLMs you'd be looking at universities in the UK, for GDL, LPCs and BVCs you'd be looking at attached or independent law schools like BPP, College of Law, ICLS etc etc

How many days can kids stay off school in a term before I am in trouble? How many days can kids stay off school in a term before I am in trouble

How many days can kids stay off school in a term before I am in trouble?
Just wondered how many days they can have off in the uk (Primary school) before the authorities start asking questions. Over a term or a year or so not on the bounce so to speak.

My one boy last year went maybe 2 months the WHOLE year! I was begging them to help me get him to school! They did not care in the least. This kid is a lot bigger then me and if I used cattle prod they would have sent cops to my door. BTW He still is above the other kids this year as far as smarts go, do not get it?? I think he was just testing all of us? Anyhoo this is what happened to us. Whoops just noticed you are in the UK, Sorry we are in small town America....

I thought questions would already be asked . It would depend on whether the parents notify the school about the child being absent for a number of valid reasons. But if the child is playing truant well then questions may well be asked soon.

How is the American Revolution taught in UK schools

How is the American Revolution taught in UK schools?

I have no idea but I guess its taught briefly with the facts but no long dwelling on the matter. Afterall, its just a blip on a history that spans almost a thousand years.
2 :
That's such a great question! Maybe it's portrayed to make the UK look like victims, and the Americans look like villains. Maybe that's why Europe has a bad taste in its mouth for Americans.
3 :
If you been schooled overseas you'd know you are taught to learn all the histories, cultures, customs and geography's of all global countries. Not just about the country's history that you live in. We are taught, tested and graded about the full history of the USA, not just about the American Revolution which had lasted for eight years is part of Americans history for independance.
