Jobs after LLM
Tue May 01, 2007 10:07 PM
Hi guys,
I'm graduating next week from a law school with a LLM. Actually I'm so scared that i will not find a job. I'm making some application as paralegal in law office, i hope will find something.
My concern is about he conditions to take the califonia bar exam. Do anybody know a civil law lawyers admitted to take the bar exam?
I mean someon in my situation who is not attorney in his home country and do not any bar form any states in the US.

Thanks for ur help

paralegal ? I think you may be overqualified for such a position - don't forget that in the US, paralegal positions are available for people with a Bachelor degree, that is before their J.D. so the people filling paralegal positions have no legal education at all.
I am not sure it is such a good idea to take such a position as you are only diminishing yourself in the eyes of employer and diminishing the value of your LLM, not to mention that the pay won't be too good.
