Seoul National University Law School (also known as SNU Law) is one of the professional graduate schools of Seoul National University, located in Seoul, South Korea. SNU Law is widely considered to be the most prestigious law school in Korea.
Founded in 2009, it is one of the founding law schools of South Korea and currently offers the J.D., J.S.D., LL.M., and Ph.D. degrees in law. Since the establishment of the graduate J.D. program, the Law School stopped admitting undergraduate law students to the College of Law. The LL.B. program will be gradually phased out in favor of the Law School's graduate programs. SNU Law currently enrolls 150 students in each class of the J.D. program.
