Although all the above places belong to the Anglo-American legal system, they are different from our Chinese mainland legal system. However, under the influence of globalization, the legal market has long been monopolized by Anglo-American law firms. Whether in civil law countries or common law countries, the handling of many legal affairs is getting closer to Americanization. If your cousin wants to engage in the legal profession, America is the first choice.

American JD

If your cousin has no legal background, he will apply for JD (Doctor of Law) in the United States if he wants to study law. Because there is no law education for American undergraduates, there are only law majors at the graduate and doctoral levels.

The exam is very difficult.

Going to the United States to study JD requires taking lsat, which is the entrance examination for American law schools. It is difficult to kill GRE, GMAT and other exams. . . If you can get high marks in this exam, basically neither Harvard nor Yale will be a dream. . .

High cost

The cost of studying JD in the United States is unconventional, basically 500 thousand a year, three years1500 thousand. But as long as you can persist in finishing JD, the income is very rich and the cost may be recovered in a year or two.

Specialization of legal education

He Meihuan said in On Common Law Education in Contemporary China that the essence of globalization is Americanization. Because there is no law education for American undergraduates, there are only law majors at the graduate and doctoral levels.
