Requirements for the application of Master of Laws

LLM majors in American universities do not need GRE/GMAT or LSAT scores, and the only criteria for considering students are TOEFL scores and GPA. Therefore, if you want to apply for a prestigious school, it is recommended that the GPA be above 100. It should be noted here that because law is a subject that relies on language communication, many schools have high requirements for spoken English, generally above 20 points. For GPA, it is recommended to be above 3.5.

In addition, for LLM applications, there is a special organization called LSAC, and many schools explicitly request to apply through this organization. For example, NYU, some schools suggest applying through LSAC. LSAC requires students to send all their transcripts, including TOEFL scores, to their institutions, and then they send TOEFL scores and evaluated GPA directly to the schools. Moreover, if the school does not apply through this institution, it will generally be different from other professional applications, that is, the school will require students to write a paper, which is equivalent to a complaint, explaining the school's grading system, grading standards, ranking in classes and departments, and the number of people participating in the ranking. In fact, schools should have a clearer understanding of the learning situation of students who complain the same.

Employment and lawyers of LLM in American universities

Although LLM emphasizes theoretical study because of the 1 year academic system, it is far from enough for students who really want to enter the ranks of lawyers, but it is more suitable for the requirements of the legal department of multinational companies because of its short and fast academic system and many international students. In addition, in the United States, because only those who have passed the lawyer qualification examination (American Judicial Examination) can obtain the lawyer practice qualification, a considerable number of applicants choose LLM in order to obtain the lawyer qualification in the United States. At present, there are 1 1 states in the United States that allow LLM students to take the bar exam, among which new york and California have the largest number of applicants. Although the lawyer exam is quite difficult, in fact, LLM graduates who pass the exam are not less than JD students.
