would graduate level credit count towards a JD degree?

<p>guys i already tried to find an answer to my question by using this forum's search option,but that didnt work, so thats why i decided to start a whole new thread!</p>

<p>im currently an undergrad junior at UCDavis, and here they let undergrads take graduate level courses IF they approve of your petition. </p>

<p>im wondering, if i take graduate level classes now, could these courses possibly count towards my JD degree in the future? these grad level classes would be in economics...</p>

<p>if it matters, i plan on going to law school within California, maybe UCLA?</p>

<p>Although I have not researched much into it, my educated deduction is a big "No." It is hard enough already to get advanced standing for work at previous LSs.</p>

<p>However, if these credits are taken after you are officially enrolled in a JD program, it may be a complete different story. Everything will also vary on the LS. Again, I don't have the answer, but it's only logical.</p>

<p>Those credits will very likely count for a Master in Economics, though --interested? </p>

<p>If you are motivated enough give UCLA LS a call.</p>

<p>Unless you are enrolled in a bachelors/JD programme, my guess is that most schools (and the bar) would not let you count courses taken during your undergrad towards your JD. Economics courses probably would not count for your law degree, even if you were in law school.</p>

<p>Graduate courses will not count towards a law degree unless you are already admitted to the law school when you take the course and you are pursuing a dual JD/MBA program that some law schools have. There are PhD's and MD's who decide to go to law school and nothing they did toward the PhD or medical degree counts.</p>
