	Clive Walker, LEGAL EDUCATION IN ENGLAND AND WALES, 72 Oregon Law Review 943 (1993)
		The expansion is not confined to the thirty-four university law faculties.
		Having compiled a written commentary on the law through lectures and lecture-directed research, the student is then expected to delve further into selected areas of the syllabus by way of "tutorials" or "seminars." These terms are often used interchangeably, though seminars often are conducted with larger groups.
		The best university law faculties can be identified as those which have a commitment to staff development, have not allowed themselves to be swamped by student numbers, and, above all, still maintain the symbiotic relationship between research and teaching, which marks true universities as distinct from other forms of higher education.

		In their paper to the Court of Appeals, the Law Society also provided an Annex describing the substantive grounds to prove substantial equivalence between the various route of education and training with respect to New York and most US state bar admission rules.

	Treasure Trove Law In England and Wales
		The current law of Treasure Trove in England and Wales would seem to have derived originally from the principle that all ownerless objects should belong to the King and there is a fundamental contrast with Latin system where such objects belong equally to finder and landowner.
		In England and Wales Treasure Trove is limited to objects of precious metal buried with intention of recovery and of which the owner cannot be traced.
		The dealer's solicitor concluded: 'Treasure trove is an anachronistic law being enforced on inadequate evidence...I hope this important inquest leads to a radical revision of the treasure trove law'.

		KEVIN Martin, the new head of the Law Society of England and Wales, is still enjoying the trappings of his new office.
		In anticipation of the fight to retain its regulatory powers, the Law Society voted to split itself and hive off regulation from the law reform and representative (trade union) functions.
		Martin, a high-street practitioner who specialised in private-client and property work, knows that the key to the society's survival will be the views of the big corporate law firms that have often felt disenfranchised from their professional body.

		For many law librarians the title of this article conjures up images of flipping through pages of Halsbury’s Statutes of England and Wales, or accessing the UK files on LexisNexis or Westlaw.
		Although Wales has a National Assembly, its powers under executive devolution are currently limited to producing only secondary legislation for the principality.
		Since it is often the case that the session of Parliament and the regnal year overlap it is very common to see citations to an act passed in a parliamentary session that spanned two regnal years.
