high school with a focus on administrative and legal studies


Explanation:
That's the best you can do. You need to state that it's a high-school. just 'school' automatically implies university level in US/Canada. Yale Law School, for instance.

disagree  Mira Stepanovic: Sorry, we need a name of the school in English, there is no such thing: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=bTg&r...

  -> the fact is that there is no such thing as law high-school. that's the problem.
disagree  Natasa Djurovic: Sorry but it's not correct translation! With articles or without... Vidim da ne govorite srpski stoji u vasem profilu.

  -> English uses articles, and there is no such thing as "law high-school". Hence, a description is needed, that's the best one can do with such a strange high-school... I speak Croatian, which suffices to understand the discussion and the terms in question.

disagree  lirka: I agree that such a school does not exist. As for your suggestion, it sounds a bit like FBI or CIA to me; bureau is usually reserved for hush-hush issues... Legal bureau, however, usually denotes a legal aid office. http://www.mdlab.org/

agree  amarok: ja bih samo dodala high school, jer je law school fakultet :)
30 mins
  -> Da, srednja je!
disagree  lirka: whether you put 'school' or "faculty", EVERYONE in the US/Canada will automatically assume that it's university level... there are no high-schools called 'law school'. Law school is a university! Always! think of Harvard Law School or Yale Law School
2 hrs
  -> I disagree of course it's high school. If you read the previous, you would understand! Sorry!!!
agree  Mira Stepanovic: Slažem se da treba dodati "high" :)
2 hrs
  -> Naravno Miro!
