Does anyone knows if the LSAT exam is an individual test that each Law School gives to students who wants to enter to study Law in that university or is a common test that you take the dates that are scheduled for it ?

The Law School Admission Council (LSAC) administers the LSAT four times per year, typically in June, October (occasionally administered in late September), December, and February.

Hi All:
I am an American citizen practicing law in Belize, Central America. I have been practicing for 3 years. I would like to go and live in the United States but I am not sure about what careers await me. If I did the LLM in intellectual property, I would have to take the bar exam (I would like to live in Florida, anyone know anything about taking the bar exam there?) and hopefully I pass.....what careers are out their for me? I do not want to be a litigator.
Honestly, I am tired of studying but I can scarifice a year for studies but anymore I am not sure...

Any advice would be appreciated!

I know that several of the top ten schools will allow a small number of students from abroad, to apply for senior status and complete the JD in just 2 years. (separate to the 2 year specific program at NU),

Does anyone know what kind of factors they take into account to decide if you get the advanced standing? Several have told me (harvard, yale, duke) that you do NOT need to do their LLM first, but that it is rare to succeed.

As I am completing a UK masters degree next year, I wondered what else I could do to improve my chances.
Thanks.

PS. any other good schools offer 2 year JD?


may i plz have nmaes of some us uni which cld offer advance stnading or a 2 years jd .other than nw
