A Law degree is an academic degree conferred for studies in law. Such degrees are generally preparation for legal careers; but while their curricula may be reviewed by legal authority, they do not themselves confer a license. A legal license is granted (typically by examination) and exercised locally; while the Law Degree can have local, international, and world aspects- e.g., in Britain the Legal Practice Course is required to become a British solicitor or the Bar Professional Course (BPTC) to become a barrister.
The first academic degrees were all law degrees- and the first law degrees were doctorates. The foundations of the first universities in Europe were the glossators of the 11th century, which were schools of law. The first European university, that of Bologna, was founded as a school of law by four famous legal scholars in the 12th century who were students of the glossator school in that city. It is from this history that it is said that the first academic title of doctor applied to scholars of law. The degree and title were not applied to scholars of other disciplines until the 13th century. And at the University of Bologna from its founding in the 12th century until the end of the 20th century the only degree conferred was the doctorate, usually earned after five years of intensive study after secondary school. The rising of the doctor of philosophy to its present level is a modern novelty. At its origins, a doctorate was simply a qualification for a guild—that of teaching law.
Abraham Lincoln i/ˈeɪbrəhæm ˈlɪŋkən/ (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) was the 16th President of the United States, serving from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. He successfully led his country through its greatest constitutional, military and moral crisis – the American Civil War – preserving the Union while ending slavery, and promoting economic and financial modernization. Reared in a poor family on the western frontier, Lincoln was mostly self-educated. He became a country lawyer, a Whig Party leader, Illinois state legislator in the 1830s, and a one-term member of the United States House of Representatives in the 1840s. After a series of debates in 1858 that gave national visibility to his opposition to the expansion of slavery, Lincoln lost a Senate race to his arch-rival Stephen A. Douglas. Lincoln, a moderate from a swing state, secured the Republican Party nomination. With almost no support in the South he swept the North and was elected president in 1860. His election was the signal for seven southern slave states to declare their secession from the Union and form the Confederate States of America. The departure of the Southerners gave Lincoln's party firm control of Congress, but no formula for compromise or reconciliation was found. And the war came.
I got your name and number
You seem kinda surprised
Maybe it's 'cause I can be
You know like cold as ice
In crowded situations
I always want to go
And if I see you leaving
I'll beat you to the door
I'm gonna tell you something
You're better than fake-wild
I see the future in it
They try and kill your style
Your manners and your motives
I've seen the way it goes
So memorize my number
That's why I got a phone
Call me after dark
Call me
Call me after dark
I can make the sun rise daily
Right up from your landscape painting
I will be in the front row later
When your brush becomes a mic
Maybe we could change this game forever
Shapes our breath make in cold weather
They might say we're both crazy
I'm just glad I found you, baby
Call me after dark
Call me
Call me after dark
I don't want someone telling me
No-oh-oh, you're out of time
I don't mind being debated
As long as you're with me tonight
I'm not gonna give up easy
We were made to cross the line
I don't want the things that we do
I don't want to let them die
Call me after dark
Call me
Call me after dark
I'm not gonna give up easy
We were made to cross the line
I don't want the things that we do
I don't want to let them die
Call me after dark
Call me
Call me after dark
Call me after dark
Call me
Call me after dark
Call me after dark
Call me
Call me after dark
