Master of Laws is different from Master of Laws. The former is a professional degree with a specific legal background, mainly for the legislative, judicial, administrative law enforcement, legal services and legal supervision departments, as well as economic management, administrative management and social public management departments to train applied legal talents; The latter is a hierarchical law degree series. What we usually call "graduate students majoring in law" generally refers to applying for a master's degree in law. (In fact, there is little difference between LLM and LLM. )

At present, there is a misunderstanding in society that only the master of law is known, but not the master of law. In fact, there are some differences between them:

First, the enrollment conditions are different. Master of laws must require a bachelor's degree in national education, not an equivalent degree; Master of Law requires non-law graduates with a bachelor's degree in national education. (Since 2009, law graduates have been allowed to apply for the Master of Laws. )

Second, the test questions are different. LLM's questions tend to be theoretical and subjective. LLM originated in Britain and the United States, followed the principle of training legal talents in the United States, and required strong logical thinking and reasoning ability. Therefore, LLM is an undergraduate course for illegal graduates, and the topic tends to practice.

Third, the admission ratio is different. Generally, the admission ratio of LLM is around 10: 1. However, the introduction of LLM from Britain and the United States is a popular major in the postgraduate entrance examination in China, and 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.

Fourth, the training methods are different. Master of laws are basically self-funded. For example, in-service graduate students in Peking University have a 800 yuan per credit, and the thesis guidance fee and thesis defense fee are 6,000 yuan; The master of law is paid by public funds and at his own expense.

Fifth, the teaching methods are different. The Master of Laws adopts the tutorial system of different majors, and each student has a tutor (professor or associate professor). During the study period, he can get constant guidance from the tutor and study relevant legal theories in depth. Master of Laws, regardless of majors, adopts the "double tutorial system", takes practical application as the principle, puts practice first, and implements the teaching concept of combining theoretical study with practical operation.

It can be seen that the training goal of LLM is teaching and academic-oriented, while LLM is application-oriented and practice-oriented. However, judging from the current actual situation, Master of Laws has great advantages in employment and qualification examination, such as the national civil service examination and the national judicial examination, and its passing rate far exceeds that of Master of Laws, which is also the development direction of law education in the future.
