If I were you, I would go to UIUC.

I know both schools are good, however UIUC is ranked higher than CWRU and get more reputation in the job market, as I know.

There is JSD degree program in the UIUC law school and I heard some ll.m. graduates are allowed to transfer to their JD program, which means you can have more options there.

As far as I know, the job placement in their website is for JD students.
You know, it is not easy to get a job in the US with only LL.M. degree. It depends on so many facters such as how fluent your English is, which country you are from or what kind of job did you have before entering law school....etc.
