I briefly recall that this question has been raised in earlier threads so you might find some helpful answers there.

From my memory, the short answer is no as most law schools require LSATs. There are, however, a few law schools that do not require LSATs but they are not worth looking at because if you are to invest 2 or 3 years on a JD degree it would be in your best interests to study at one of the better universities.

In brief, you should go for the LSATs as not doing so would mean you are ineligible to be considered for the better law schools.


Cheers

Depends on where you got your LL.M. Some LL.M. programmes in the US allow their LL.M. graduates to transfer to the J.D. without having to take the LSAT. I would ask the law school.
