1, the training objectives and educational methods are different.
The training goal of master of law is to point to teaching and academic aspects; Master of Laws is oriented to application and practice.
The cultivation of master of laws focuses on teaching and scientific research talents;
Master of Laws is more professional, training compound and applied legal talents, such as lawyers, judges, prosecutors and corporate legal advisers.
LLM has a fine division of majors, and there is generally only one direction of research, and each LLM has only one tutor;
Master of Laws (LLM) is not a major. When students enter school, they usually choose one direction to study, and implement the "double tutor" system, that is, the on-campus tutor teaches legal theory, the off-campus tutor teaches legal practice, or the teaching and research group teaches.
On the whole, there are certainly few legal talents who want to develop in the direction of academic and scientific research, and there are certainly many who want to develop in the direction of legal pragmatism and employment.
If you are employed, the recognition of the master of law will increase, which is basically the same as that of the master of law.
However, in some areas, civil servants only recruit master of law, not master of law; If you enter the enterprise, there is generally no difference.
Moreover, in front of majors, schools are also very important. If you were born in 985/2 1 1, you naturally have more advantages than double non-one.
2. Different application conditions have different application requirements.
Candidates applying for master of law must have a bachelor's degree, not limited to undergraduate majors (but most of the actual candidates are law undergraduates).
If you apply for an exam with the same academic ability as an undergraduate, most of you need to meet some conditions, such as sending a CSSCI paper and adding an exam when you re-examine. It depends on the graduate enrollment brochures of various institutions.
Master of Laws (Law) can only be studied by undergraduates majoring in law, while Master of Laws (Illegal Studies) can only be studied by non-law graduates with bachelor degree (or equivalent).
Some colleges require higher vocational graduation, and it takes two years or two to apply. Some colleges and universities have more relaxed requirements for candidates with the same academic ability to apply for master's degree.
3. Different enrollment methods and examination questions.
Master of law is an independent proposition of colleges and universities, and the examination subjects are decided by the schools themselves;
Master of Laws is a national joint examination, and the examination questions are unified by the state and audited by the province. Difficult together, difficult together, high fairness.
For zero-based illegal undergraduate candidates, taking the Master of Law means that you have to compete with candidates who have experienced 3-4 years of undergraduate education in law. The examination is generally difficult and it is difficult to find reference materials. Some institutions have no bibliography/real questions over the years.
For the LLM (illegal version) candidates, everyone is on the same starting line. Aside from the difference in the number of applicants, the initial examination of the master of law with a unified national proposition will be simpler than that of the master of law.
4. The enrollment scale is different from the enrollment number.
The Master of Laws focuses on cultivating academic and professional legal talents. The enrollment scale is usually smaller than that of master of law, and the enrollment of master of law will be more.
On the whole, if you want to develop in the direction of academic research, it is recommended to choose a master of law; If you just want to find a better job, you can choose a master of law.
For zero-based illegal undergraduate candidates, if there are no other factors (such as their own legal basis, etc. ), it is better to choose a master of law (illegal study) with low threshold, less requirements and more admissions.
