The difference between LLM and LLM;
First, the application requirements are different.
Candidates applying for the Master of Laws must have a bachelor's degree in the National Education Sequence University, which is not limited to undergraduate majors (but most of the actual candidates are law undergraduates), and non-undergraduate students with the same degree are not recruited.
To apply for a master's degree in law, you must have a bachelor's degree in national education (or equivalent), and undergraduate graduates with equivalent academic qualifications must work for more than two years; University graduates with equivalent education must work for more than three years. (Since 2009, law graduates have been allowed to apply for the Master of Laws. )
Second, the enrollment method is different from the examination questions.
Master of Law is a separate proposition of colleges and universities (except public extracurricular activities) that are qualified to recruit Master of Law. National key universities and some ordinary undergraduate colleges are generally qualified to recruit master of law. The examination questions of the master of law course are independent propositions of colleges and universities, but because of this, there are great defects in the fairness and objectivity of the master of law examination, which is unfair to foreign candidates compared with the master of law.
The LLM is enrolled through the joint entrance examination of the national LLM pilot units, and only a few key universities in China have the right to enroll LLM. The examination questions of master of law are put forward by the state in a unified way and are quite high. Therefore, based on the consideration of openness and equality, more and more candidates apply for master of laws.
Third, the educational methods and training objectives are different.
Every LLM has a tutor, who can get comprehensive guidance and in-depth study of legal theory during his study. Therefore, LLM's specialization is very detailed, and the research field generally has only one direction. Other directions are basically not involved. The training direction is mainly academic research, scientific research and teaching, and senior theoretical academic legal talents are trained in universities and research institutes.
Master of law, regardless of major, usually chooses one direction to study when entering school.
Implement the "double tutor" system, that is, the on-campus tutor teaches legal theory and the off-campus tutor teaches legal practice. LLM's training mode pays more attention to practice and application, mainly learning the current laws and regulations, and training senior, compound and applied legal talents such as lawyers, judges, prosecutors and corporate legal advisers for the judicial, administrative law enforcement, legal services and legal supervision departments and social public management departments.
Fourth, the admission ratio is different.
The admission ratio of LLM is generally around 10: 1.
Master of Laws (LLM), introduced from Britain and America, is a popular major for postgraduate entrance examination in China. In addition, the institutions with full-time LLM enrollment rights are all national key universities, so the competition is extremely fierce, with an average of 15: 1.
Fifth, the training methods are different.
The master of law is paid by public funds and at his own expense.
Master of laws are basically self-funded. For example, each credit of 800 yuan in Peking University costs 6,000 yuan for thesis guidance and thesis defense.
