Sydney Law School (Sydney Law or SLS) is the faculty of law at the University of Sydney, the first university in Australia. Located in the main Camperdown campus of the University, the Sydney Law School began a full program of legal instruction in 1890 following the appointment of its first Dean, having offered legal examinations since 1855.〔The University of Sydney. (History - Sydney Law School ). Retrieved 14 May 2013〕 In 2015, the QS World University Rankings ranked Sydney Law School second in Australia, and 13th in the world.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=QS World University Rankings by Subject 2015: Law )〕 The Social Science Research Network ranks Sydney Law School as 1st in Australia and 6th in the world in its Top 500 International Law Schools List for legal research uploaded to its website, based on views and downloads. The School has approximately 1,700 undergraduate students; 1,500 postgraduate coursework students; and 100 postgraduate research students. There are now 24 chairs, including the Challis Chairs of Law, Jurisprudence and International Law. In 2010, the School replaced its graduate-entry LL.B. degree with the Juris Doctor degree; the LL.B. degree is still available but only as part of an undergraduate double degree program. Sydney Law School has produced many luminaries in law and politics, including current Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and five other Prime Ministers, four Federal Opposition Leaders, two Governors-General, nine Federal Attorneys-General and 23 Justices of the High Court, more than any other law school in Australia. The school has also produced 24 Rhodes Scholars. ==History== As the Faculty of Law, the law school was inaugurated in 1855 and established by the ''(Act to Incorporate and Endow the University of Sydney 1850 (NSW) )'' and an 1855 University Senate by-law, becoming the third faculty (after the Faculties of Arts and of Medicine) of the University of Sydney. The Faculty of Law commenced its work in 1859, primarily as a body of assessment and examination rather than teaching. In 1890, the first chair was appointed to the faculty and a full legal academic programme commenced at the Faculty. Prior to 2011, Sydney Law School was the sole School under the Faculty of Law, under the College of Arts and Humanities, one of the three constituent Colleges of the University. As part of a re-organisation of faculty organisation, in 2011 the Faculty of Law was renamed Sydney Law School, adopting the better-known name of its sole School.〔(''Implementation Report'' - University of Sydney )〕 The Sydney Law School has won the prestigious Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition on four occasions (in 1996, 2007, 2011 and 2015).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=International Law Students Association: The Future of International Law: Jessup Archives )〕 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「Sydney Law School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
