How do I say "I am a law student" or "I am in law school" in French?

J'étudie en droit non, ça doit être québécois, on n'étudie pas "en quelque chose". En France on dit qu'on est juriste. "Juriste en 3e année de fac" par exemple. Sinon : "j'étudie le droit" ou "je suis en fac de droit" ou "je fais des études de droit" ou "je suis étudiant en droit".

Humm... What I usually hear from people (I'm in Quebec maybe others say it differently) is this: "J'étudie en droit" which directly translates to "I study in right". In French le droit is the term we use for law studies, so you wouldn't really say "J'étudie la loi" because it would mean in English "I study the law" which is not exactly what you want to say! Again there might be other ways to say it maybe the italki community can complete my answer. So basically: J'étudie en droit OU J'étudie le droit OU Je suis un étudiant en droit etc.

I agree with Rémy. I have heard that in both Québec and France, so I'd also say "J'étudie en droit" to say "I am in law school". You could also say "Je suis un étudiant en droit", which would be the equivalent to "I am a law student".

We say in French : je suis un etudiant de droit. Voila , facile :)
