Ono International School LLB is designed for international students, Olim, and globally minded applicants seeking a rigorous legal education with a strong foundation in Israeli, comparative, and international law. The program combines academic depth with practical training, preparing graduates to operate confidently across different legal systems and jurisdictions. Students gain the doctrinal foundation of an Israeli law degree while developing the practical skills needed to work in global markets.
Who is this program for?
This program is designed for motivated students seeking more than a traditional, domestically focused law degree. It is ideal for international applicants who want a rigorous legal education taught in English, with a strong foundation in Israeli law and a clear global orientation.
The program is also well-suited for Olim and internationally trained or legally minded applicants who wish to build familiarity with the Israeli legal system and pursue bar qualification in Israel, while maintaining a strong comparative and international legal perspective.
Students are not required to commit to bar qualification at the time of admission, and the program supports multiple post-graduation pathways in law, business, and advanced legal studies.
Ono Academic College’s School of Law is Israel’s largest law faculty, offering an exceptional breadth of courses and strong connections to the legal profession, industry, and the public service sector. What distinguishes this program is its integration of academic rigor with a practical, career-oriented approach. Students benefit from the International School’s flexibility and global outlook while gaining full access to the faculty, resources, and professional networks of a leading legal institution.
