The Faculty of Law, Oxford is the law school of the University of Oxford which has a history of over 800 years of teaching and writing law. It is unique in its use of personalised tutorials, in which students are taught by faculty fellows in groups of one to three on a weekly basis, as the main form of instruction in its undergraduate and graduate courses. It offers the largest doctoral programme in Law in the English-speaking world.
Generally considered one of the most prestigious in the world, Oxford's law school is currently ranked second in the 2017 QS World University Rankings, behind only Harvard Law School. Oxford has produced a significant number of luminaries in law and politics, including United Kingdom Prime Minister Tony Blair. Amongst those associated with Oxford law include twelve Lord Chancellors, nine Lord Chief Justices, nine UK Supreme Court Justices (including current President of the Supreme Court Lord Neuberger, who read chemistry before turning to law) and twenty-two law lords (such as Lord Hoffmann, Lord Denning); four associate justices of the US Supreme Court as well as six puisne justices of the Supreme Court of Canada and a chief justice of the now defunct Federal Court of Canada; several heads of state around the world, including John Turner, Prime Minister of Canada (1984–1984), Seni Pramoj (1947–1951), Prime Minister of Thailand, and several Prime Ministers of Pakistan, including Liaquat Ali Khan (1947–1951), Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy (1956–1957), Zulfikar Ali Bhutto (1945–1946).
