Pursuing an LLM would be a plus for my profile and I am grateful to your suggestions on program reputation of antitrust law in USA PS: I am currently living in France now. Merci beaucoup Vanessa Mon, 29 May 2006 07:48:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/18554/last#18557 That is all very nice Vanessa, but do you have a law degree? I think you need a law degree to be accepted into an LL.M program. Mon, 29 May 2006 10:03:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/18554/last#18563 Thanks Richard. I only hold degrees in economics and risk management. Do you, or anyone else, know special LLM programs which may not need a degree in law?

In UK for eg there are many unis that consider non-law student with a particular background, especially with economic studies, and you could be one. Hope this helps.

Otherwise, you way consider applying for an Economics Master's program and then attend all Antitrust and Law & Economics courses, which is very easy while you're there (that would certainly be true in any US school, by the way). Wed, 31 May 2006 11:40:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/18554/last#18701 thanks a bunch, tortello and antoine. it seems that Law schools in US are quite strict with a primary degree in law, however, european master programs in law are relatively more flexible. Yeap, I am very interested in Chicago and actually I am gonna move there this Sep. I was wondering if it is possible to apply for any certificate programs in those prestigious law schools, supposing that it might be less strict with the eligibility.

You either pursue a full degree or you don't. However, as I was suggesting, may may attend any law school classes you want as a business school or an economics student, and earn law school credits counting toward your degree in business or econ. This may not solve your equation, though, since getting into the B-school or the Economics program will be just as hard as getting into the law school :( Mon, 05 Jun 2006 18:03:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/18554/last#18829 I have found M.S.L. at Yale which is not strict with a primary degree in law. But I guess the career path of M.S.L. is also pretty different from LLM. Any comments from you guys? I am also considering an LLM which is offered by UoL's external program. How is it recognized by those US employers given I am heading for consultant career in the future?
