Jeremy Bentham attended Westminster School (1755–60), then a private boarding school for boys, and Queen’s College, Oxford (B.A. 1764; M.A. 1767). He thereafter studied law at Lincoln’s Inn and was called to the bar in 1769, though he immediately abandoned a legal career, preferring instead to be a legal reformer.
