united kingdom - Did Cambridge award LLB?


Please see the titled question. Like Oxford's, Cambridge's undergraduate and first law degree is a BA, not LLB. But SCC Justice Ian Binnie exhibits




University of Cambridge (1962) LLB



Andrew Lewis and HK barrister Cheng Huan do too.



He holds an LL.B. degree from Trinity Hall, Cambridge where he also completed a thesis on the legal aspects of boundary disputes between China and the Soviet Union.




Is this a typo?



Answer



The Cambridge LLB was a Master's level qualification, which was renamed to LLM in the 1980s in order to avoid confusion with the more widely used meaning of LLB as an undergraduate degree.
