As a current LLM student myself, I have to say this is SO informative and SO helpful. Thanks for making a video from international students' perspective! Awesome!!!

I was a permanent resident when I took my LLM and I just became a U.S. citizen. This is the only conversation I heard that speaks very closely and truthfully to what I experienced and have learned. Thanks for this video and thanks very much to your guest.

Angela Thank you very much for accepting my request for this topic. It was very helpful. The questions accomodated comprehensiveness. I appreciate the time put by you & the guest speaker.

I’m a teaching assistant for a LLM (foreign student LLM) legal writing class. All of these students are licensed in other countries. They will earn their LLM degrees after one year of legal study in USA and then sit for the bar. But many of the students are not prepared and have a far lower pass rate on the bar compared to JD students. I think it’s a failure of the LLM “system.” Many of them never take Contracts, Property, Evidence, among others. I’m not sure a solution to this issue. They take a longer bar-prep course, but that doesn’t seem to bear much fruit. I think a better program should be available. Thoughts?

Thank you so much for this video. It was very helpful and informative! I was planning on qualifying as a lawyer in France and working there for 1-2 years before applying for an LLM in the US in order to sit for the NY bar exam. I hope that networking, making connections, and attending job fairs will be enough to be able to find a job... It'll definitely be a challenge!!

NY certainly used to allow foreign practitioners to take the bar exam without a US degree (not sure if they still do). A lot of my friends ended up in NY City that way. Agree with your guest re transferring from US to (say) Australia. Some serious bridging courses are necessary (which almost add to to doing a completely new law degree). Great video Angela!

New York admits foreign trained lawyers. You have to get foreign credentials evaluated first which takes a couple months.

Your dedication to providing quality content that empowers students like me to make informed decisions is truly commendable. I cannot thank you enough for sharing your expertise and wisdom in such a concise and engaging manner. Please accept my heartfelt appreciation for your exceptional contribution to the LLM community. Your video has undoubtedly made a significant difference in my journey towards pursuing higher education in the US. Warm regards, Gazi Hasan Mahmud Advocate Judge Court, Dhaka, Bangladesh

I've been waiting for this one 🙌 thank you so much, keep it up

Thank you so much for this informative video ❤️❤️❤️

Very informative video,thank you for enlightening us.🙏

Personally this is heartbreaking as i was seriously considering to apply for 2 years JD from Chicago. But it makes sense. Why would an employer consider a student with Visa hurdles and comparatively not so good english. This is quite informative and to the point. Thanks very much. I was wondering if i can do JD from US on job visa in future if i end up there doing job in other field.

I am a JD student, but I have many friends who graduated from law schools in China and came to the US for LLM, it takes them 3-6 attempts to pass the BAR.

Thank you for this! Can we get more videos on best universities for international student to get an llm🙏

Great interview... 1. What's the recommended list of top 10 LLM in California and New York? 2. Do you guys recommend an online LLM program and then apply for work visa to practice your knowledge after those 2 or 1 year study?

Hi Angela, I saw another youtuber saying that US law firms are not hiring foreign lawyers who have obtained LLM in US. Is that true? Im so confused. I want to be a Corporate counsel in a company in USA after obtaining LLM and passing bar exams. What are your thoughts? Kindly reply ❤️❤️❤️

This was a really heartbreaking video for me...... But then you can't change the things which are not in your control.

So Angela! What motivated you in becoming a Lawyer? Why do you do what you do? Is it about the money, power, prestige...all three?

Regardless of nationality, JD students don't have to concern about finding jobs as much as LLM students ,do they?

This is so useful

How often do law schools give merit-based scholarships to admitted students?

I was thinking about doing the 02 year old JD. Now, I don't know what to decide! Is this accelerated program bad?

Oh My Goodness !! It just break me apart ... But what if , i will do my undergraduate from U.S and then apply for J.D ???

What about for LLM PROGRAM for international Lawyers that are American Citizens? Thank you

Dear Angela, do you know law schools in the US that offer top funding for an LLM degree? Can you provide a list? And that is not only about the top 14 schools, right?

Is there any legal field that allows me to focus on international law with China and the US? Thank you!

Thanks for such an informative video! Have seen quite a few Canadian youtubers studying at T14 law schools, would you say the job prospects for Canadians is more similar to US students, considering there's the TN visa?

Hello mam! I am from nepal and recently I completed my high school in the field of bio science, but I want to join the course of international law in USA. Is it possible for me to go there and retrive my bachelor degree in the field of international law?

Thanks for the video!!! I really appreciate it. Do I have to go to the United States to study my LLM? I am a certified lawyer in my country Colombia and I work for a law firm based in the United States but also has offices in Colombia. I work as a Legal assistant here and have learned a lot about American immigration law. Can I do my LLM online from a US based university and go to the country just to take the Bar?

LLM degree is a terrible idea for foreign applicants who want to study for the bar exam. Constitutional, Evidence, Ethics, Civil and Criminal procedures; state and federal are not studied on LLM program. This is your basic, basic, basic subjects --- MBE SUBJECTS. LLM does not help writing those long essay questions in 45 min or 30 min depending on the state. LLM degree is not helpful to issue spot nor does it teach you IRAC or legal memo for bar exam purposes. LLM is not going to help you pass the bar exam. Example, UCLA LLM program is on entertainment law, interntional law, human rights law, tax law --- none of those subjects are part of the bar exam and everyone knows this --- it's an open secret. If on the other hand, the student does not have the intention to take the bar exam then it is a very good idea to study LLM degree on entertainment law, who knows, maybe you can represent Taylor Swift or some other celebrity in your home country.

Do the same limitations apply for international students who’ve got an undergraduate degrees in the US?

Hi Angela. Please if anyone can suggest or guide me! I have done Bachelor’s in Economics Hons from India(3years), Bachelor’s in Law from India(3 years), LL.M. from the UK(1 year) I am now married to a U.S. citizen and very closer to Permanent Residency. NY Bar in the evaluation process rejected my Indian Law degree of not being sufficient in durational, substantial aspect. What is the best path for me now? Should I appeal to the NY Bar considering I already have an LLM degree from the UK, so I should be directly allowed to sit for the bar exam? I am in a huge dilemma. Any suggestions or thoughts would be really appreciated!
