Is a German law degree a post graduate degree? I don't think its quite accurate to compare a JD to a law degree that doesn't require a separate undergrad degree

  Most European countries teach law (and medicine) as undergraduate subjects, but I wouldn't say those programs any less academically rigorous.

  Much of Europe skips the 2-year 'liberal arts' portion of undergrad.

  It's a five year direct entry undergraduate degree. German universities only recently started granting Bachelor's and Master's degrees separately, instead of having the Magister or Diplom (direct entry Master's) as the lowest degree. Law and Medicine maintain the old model. Besides, German University preparatory high schools are at least equivalent to an A.A./A.S.
