<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I was wondering what the case --and your thoughts-- are in regards to people that earn a LL.B as an undergraduate degree. As you probably know, this is the JD equivalent for many nations and can be done as undergraduate studies. I'm not sure what the situation is if these students wanted to practice in the US. Would any LL.M from a ABA school be sufficient to qualify them? Please share --if you know.</p>
<p>I know one woman with a basic law degree from Denmark who got an LLM at Duke, and now practices here. Apparently, this can be suffiicent. </p>
<p>However, I imagine you'd be better off getting your JD here if possible.</p>
<p>i am under quite a dilemma. I have applied to Uk and USA both. i applied for law to LSE, UCL, Kings, Cardiff, Warwick and Westiminster in Uk and have got conditional offers from all except for UCL (still waiting for reply). i do plan to do law eventually but will most probably settle in states. Hence do i do an LLB degree from Uk and then pursue an LLM from states. or do i go ahead and do undergrad first and then JD which obviously will take more time and money. Also what are the job options available in USA if i have an LLB from let say London School of Economics.</p>
<p>what if i give my GMAT and enrol in a business school in USA after my LLB. </p>
<p>also the london university has some exchange program with Columbia law school in which u can transfer to their law school and do ur JD within 2 years. so thats two years of LLB and two years of JD. but this program is obviously very competitive. what do u suggest. im only thinking USA if i get admission from an ivy...</p>
