Where did James Boswell study before beginning his legal career?

Before beginning his legal career, James Boswell attended the University of Edinburgh, where he completed an arts course from 1753 to 1758 and later returned to study law. Due to his father's concerns regarding his academic focus, he was subsequently sent to the University of Glasgow, where he attended lectures by Adam Smith.1

Following these studies, Boswell continued his legal education at home under strict supervision from 1760 to 1762 before passing his examinations in civil law in July 1762. Later, as part of his path toward becoming a lawyer, it was arranged for him to spend a winter studying civil law at Utrecht.1
