American student - chances at Oxford law with law studies in france?

Your application looks good. Keep in mind no one will be able to tell you "if it's outstanding enough" it depends on the other applicants.
My view is always you miss 100% of the shots you don't take, so why not send in your application and see - it costs a fee to send in through UCAS but other than that you have nothing to lose.
With your PS remember to try and craft a story about how one supercurricular lead to another and mention reading case law somewhere (like actual records of x v y) because I read that Oxbridge really love that as that is what university students do. You want to show them in your PS that you have tried out being a law student and you enjoy and excel at it.
One last thing, you mentioned something about France. Are you applying for a joint degree? In which case you might want to mention French a bit on your PS but I might have misinterpreted.
Best of luck with your application!

Salam Maryam,
Do you mean you could mention a Supreme Court UK Case in the UCAS Personal Statement? 😧

It does not have to be a supreme court case, I'm not too much of an expert in law but any cases that you've read (maybe only Supreme Court cases are publicly available?) but I've just heard that at uni they read a lot of case law so showing you have done practice of that it looks good.

Supreme Court UK cases recieve a lot of attention. ...and yes there a lots of cases appearing on the Supreme Court UK website.
So, if I include one on Human Rights it should be fine? Especially for Oxford and London's: LSE, UCL, KCL and SOAS? 🙂

I’m a high school senior in the US and I’m trying to see whether or not i could get into Oxford law with law studies in France. I can’t tell whether or not my application is outstanding enough:

Independent research paper: The paper looks at how different European countries make their asylum laws and how they try to balance what's legal with what's morally or ethically right. It compares countries like the UK, France, and Germany (or others) and shows how each one handles things like helping refugees, dealing with border control, and following international rules. Some countries stick to just doing the minimum required by law, while others try to go further based on moral values. The paper argues that history, politics, and society all play a big role in shaping these choices
Sent in to publish at: - Global Youth Review
- Youth Legal Journal
- High School Law Review
- Journal of Student Research
Presented these at a conference for undergrad law in nearby university center
Schoolhouse.io Dialogue Leader - Host or co-host online discussions major current events, especially some having to do with my research paper
Personal statement:
Talked about my main interest is how law connects to morality — especially in areas like asylum law. I got really curious after seeing a news report on the UK’s asylum policies and wondering: how can something be legal but still feel wrong? That led me to explore the idea that law is the “moral minimum.”
I did a research project comparing how the UK and France apply asylum law, particularly under the European Convention on Human Rights. Both follow the law, but their approaches are quite different. It made me realise how much legal decisions are shaped by each country’s politics and values, not just legal rules.
To go deeper, I took an online course from KU Leuven on European law, and I’ve read and watched a lot on legal theory — including talks by Lady Hale (Lady Hale | With the Law on Our Side ) and books like The Concept of Law by H.L.A. Hart, Pure Theory of Law by Hans Kelsen, and Law’s Empire by Ronald Dworkin.
I want to know if you guys think this is outstanding or something that could get accepted.
Thanks in advance for your responses!

Your application sounds fine to me - you have 4+ APs at 5 so you meet the minimum academic requirements for admission. Whether you will be shortlisted/ get an offer will likely come down to LNAT and interview performance - pretty much everyone who applies to Oxford is an excellent student.
I'm going to disagree with @MaryamMajick and say that you don't need to specifically mention case law in your PS (you can if it is relevant, but don't feel obliged to shoehorn it in). It's certainly true that Law students are expected to read a lot of cases, but they are also expected to read a lot of books/ articles (including those you mention, which are standard Jurisprudence texts that I had to read). The key is to demonstrate interest in law as an academic subject, which you do.
Good luck!

Thank you for your response! What are some ways I can prepare to preform my best at the interview if I get asked?
