Tuesday 5 October 2021 marks the 60th anniversary of the LLB at the University of Glasgow. The new LLB signalled a commitment to the advanced teaching of law within the University, providing a ‘full-time degree and provision for Honours study within the Faculty of Law’ (David M Walker, A History of the School of Law, 1990, 73). Prior to this, candidates who wished to practise law first obtained an MA degree, then undertook the BL as a part-time vocational qualification.
