The employment advantage of LLM is outstanding.
(Transfer) LLM started from the enrollment of a few law colleges in 1990s, and 80 colleges have offered this major so far. Accordingly, it also shows that there is a great demand for master of law in the market, which caters to the national strategy of governing the country according to law.
The prospect of master of law is a realistic problem that every candidate is very concerned about, not only master of law, but actually all graduate students are concerned about this problem, but master of law is a very popular major among the top ten majors in recent years. However, this issue should be treated dialectically. My general view is that Fa Shuo's employment is not a problem. The more famous the school, the better its geographical location, the higher its personal quality and the better its employment. However, optimism is not blind. The enrollment expansion of graduate students, the limited strength of students, and the uncertainty of social policy and economic situation also affect the employment of graduate students.
1, Master of Laws is obviously superior to other law majors because of its complicated professional background. Imitating the idea of doctor of methodology in the United States, students are required to have an illegal undergraduate education background. There is no doubt that this educational concept is correct, because the law serves other industries as a tool in the final analysis, and without relevant industry background knowledge, it is actually unwilling to talk about the application of the law. Of course, LLM has more undergraduate study time than LLM, which makes people feel that their theoretical foundation must be stronger than LLM. However, the author believes that this kind of law major with legal research as its training direction is not dominant in actual legal operation. Master of Laws can organically combine undergraduate professional knowledge with legal knowledge, and it is easy to integrate into the actual legal operation, which is one of its employment advantages. In some legal work that requires strong industry knowledge (such as intellectual property, medicine, etc. ), LLM without relevant industry knowledge often needs to make up for its knowledge defects before taking up the post, and the learning effect is greatly reduced because of cold feet.
2. Fashuo has a good employment trend and outstanding advantages in prestigious schools. Compared with the employment situation of LLM graduates in recent years, LLM has obvious advantages. The direct factors that affect the individual's specific employment and development are: first, the reputation of the school; second, the individual's comprehensive ability; and third, the network platform. Of course, it is better to open a school with a master of laws. Maybe you will ask why I think I insist on attending a prestigious school. There are three reasons: First, you can learn the essence of law and absorb the personal style of famous schools, such as China Renmin University and China Renmin University. The law is very good and there is a teacher, Rainbow, who benefits the people. Like Peking University, the law schools of Peking University are well studied, such as China University of Political Science and Law and Wuhan University, which are all very good and have good employment prospects. Second, employment channels, prestigious schools have wide and smooth employment channels. It can be said that in Beijing, for example, if you graduated from Peking University, Tsinghua, the National People's Congress, or politics and law, many employers directly recruit and recommend students from these prestigious schools. At present, most of the entire judicial system in Beijing comes from these schools. Your personal resources and your degree resources are very sufficient for your employment. The third is to provide a personal development platform. I think the development platforms in good schools are different, which can be seen from the employment situation of graduates. Compared with the students in ordinary schools, the students in famous schools are not so much smarter than you, but in their contact with people after entering school. In a sense, a prestigious school has an advantage. It has a large amount of information and a smooth relationship between channels and contacts. For example, this year's graduate students from Renmin University of China and graduate students from Peking University, their employment situation is far better than that of ordinary schools, because their comprehensive quality is very high in this school, and the good background of the school has greatly changed their personal development. I think we must set a higher goal at this stage. Under this condition, we should try our best to give full play to our potential and be admitted to a prestigious school.
3. At present, the employment direction of law graduates is mainly engaged in legislative, judicial, administrative law enforcement, legal services, enterprise management and other practical work. Of course, the work unit can be a court, a procuratorate, a law firm, a notary office, a state organ, a public institution or a large enterprise, or it can be engaged in the management work of combining the original profession with the law. According to the provisions of the Judges Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Procurator Law of the People's Republic of China, a judge of the Higher People's Court and the Supreme People's Court, a procurator-general of the people's procuratorates of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, and a procurator of the Supreme People's Procuratorate should have a master's degree or above in law, but they must pass the national unified judicial examination first, except for administrative personnel. If you are a clerk, you can pass the judicial examination in court. The level of China's judicial departments is relatively high. At present, their requirements for law majors are basically higher than professional degrees, because in some countries in Europe and America, law is not allowed to be offered at the undergraduate level, but only at the postgraduate level. Therefore, legal professionals, especially professionals, can be said to be elites in society, so they have higher requirements for academic qualifications, academic qualifications, knowledge content and thinking level. Obviously, external education is an obvious standard.
If you want to take the road of legal profession, you obviously have to pass the judicial examination. Whether you graduate from undergraduate, graduate or even doctoral degree, if you want to work in the national judicial organs, it is necessary for you to pass the judicial examination, because the judicial examination is an admission-oriented thing. Now that you have passed the Master of Laws, students can rest assured that the judicial examination is not too challenging. It may be a big challenge for you to complete the doctoral judicial examination. Both LLM and judicial examination have a * * * problem, that is to say, they tend to apply and physics.
(1) From the composite background of professional knowledge, LLM has a wider range of knowledge, which meets the requirements of broad knowledge and strong comprehensive analysis ability in the civil service examination, and the proportion of civil servants admitted is much higher than LLM.
(2) The legal talents needed by law firms are mainly applied, rather than theoretical research, so the master of law in the application-oriented training direction is also very popular with law firms.
(3) In the competition of employment opportunities in colleges and universities, the employment trend of colleges and universities today is highly educated. Generally, it is difficult to find a good career as a university teacher without a doctorate in law. In this way, the research-oriented group like the Master of Laws is in an awkward position, with the Doctor of Laws squeezing, the Master of Laws competing and the Bachelor of Laws waiting! So from this perspective, LLM did not get more opportunities and lost the base camp of college employment.
(4) In corporate legal affairs, like lawyers, the choice of legal talents is to see whether it can bring them practical economic benefits, rather than letting these law graduates do legal papers. They prefer practical LLM students.
4. A considerable number of LLM graduates have obtained doctor of law degrees after graduation, so for the majority of non-law students, LLM graduates are the best choice to directly engage in legal work and pursue further studies at a high starting point. This choice is very good, and it is a fair exam. Why? You want to take this major, which only allows non-law majors to take it. For non-law majors at the undergraduate level, I will say you're welcome. Basically, you stop at the level of knowing nothing about the law. Let's prepare together, depending on whose method is right, whose efforts are great and whose time, attitude and information are better. Because there are many variables that affect learning, learning time, physical strength, intelligence and choice of learning materials are all important. We don't have to doubt too much about physical strength and intelligence. All netizens and candidates are fine, otherwise you won't get into the Master of Laws exam. At this time, the students who take the postgraduate entrance examination are the most energetic. The key is to look at the last two points, the first learning time. Your study attitude should directly affect the study time. In addition, the choice of study materials has a great influence on the whole exam, so netizens must believe in themselves. On the way to get a master's degree in law this year, everyone is likely to create miracles.
The above analysis can be explained by the author's personal experience: there are 150 students in my class, including nearly 40 in Selected Graduates, nearly 40 in well-known state-owned enterprises such as domestic law firms and accounting firms, nearly 15 in colleges and universities at all levels, and more than 10 in finance, securities and insurance industries. 150 people, 120 people actually took part in employment, and the remaining 30 people were Wei Peisheng, who did not take part in employment.
The above analysis is not out of personal selfishness and biased against the master of law. As far as the overall title of master of law is concerned, it is divided into several majors. For example, it is subdivided into jurisprudence, constitutional law, civil and commercial law, economic law, international law, legal history, procedural law, criminal law and so on. Among them, the employment of some law majors is still very good, such as civil and commercial, international law and so on. Others, such as legal history and jurisprudence, have quite narrow employment channels. Under the pressure of graduation, it is normal that employment is not ideal.
In particular, I have no desire to publish this article, and I have no intention of belittling the Master of Law and raising the Master of Law. I'm just talking about it. Please think about the original meaning of the strength of our family. I want to share my personal experience with all my schoolmates, hoping not to cause misunderstanding! (repost)
