Melbourne Law School (MLS or Melbourne Law) is one of the professional graduate schools of the University of Melbourne.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dean's Message )〕 Located in Carlton, Victoria, MLS is Australia's oldest law school to begin teaching operations,〔http://www.law.unimelb.edu.au/melbourne-law-school/community/history/beginnings〕 and offers J.D., LL.M, Ph.D, and LL.D degrees. MLS is the only Australian member of the Law School Admission Council; and, in 2014, it was ranked as the best law school in Australia and eighth best in the world by QS World University Rankings.〔http://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/university-subject-rankings/2014/law-legal-studies#sorting=rank+region=+country=+faculty=+stars=false+search=〕 In 2013, it was ranked the fifth best law school in the world. MLS has produced a large number of luminaries in law and politics, including four Prime Ministers of Australia, three Governors-General, four Chief Justices of Australia and thirteen Commonwealth Attorneys-General. Alumni include one current Justice of the High Court of Australia, the current Chief Justice of the Family Court of Australia, the current Governor of Victoria, the current Solicitor-General of Victoria, the current President of the Australian Human Rights Commission, the current Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commissioner and the current Chairman of the Victorian Bar Council. ==History== MLS was established in 1857, when Richard Clarke Sewell was appointed Reader in Law. This was in response to demand for legal education from those seeking admission to practise as lawyers and the university's need to increase student numbers. The first students studied for a certificate that, with practical training, qualified them for admission to legal practice. In 1860 they were given the additional option of studying for a degree. MLS was expanded and reorganised in 1873, becoming the Faculty of Law.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.law.unimelb.edu.au/melbourne-law-school/community/history/beginnings/the-faculty-of-law )〕 The school continued to grow throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, and underwent a major transformation with the appointment of Sir Zelman Cowen as Dean in 1951. Sir Zelman shaped MLS after the United States model, rather than the British model that is common in Australia. Sir Zelman reformed teaching, research and academic recruitment. Under his stewardship, full-time academics came to dominate teaching, instead of part-time practitioners. Many prominent international academics were invited to study at the School, and many Australians were given the opportunity to study abroad.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.law.unimelb.edu.au/melbourne-law-school/community/history/people/deans/zelman-cowen )〕 In 2007 MLS accepted its last cohort of LLB students. From 2008 the only degree offered by MLS qualifying for legal practice is the graduate-entry JD. This change to an entirely graduate law school is consistent with University-wide changes occurring under Vice-Chancellor Glyn Davis's Melbourne Model, although MLS does offer some subjects to the University's undergraduate students (known as 'breadth' subjects). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Melbourne Law School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
