LLM than JD?
Fri Oct 10, 2008 01:20 PM
Hi

I am currently enrolled in an LLM program in a top 10 Law School and I want to do my JD in a top 3 Law School. I have already been there for the Spring Semester where I took some classes. However, due to the fact that I already have my JD from my country and that the program is very intensive, I was wondering if I can take the LSAT. I haven' t asked the Law School yet about this issue, but what I need to know is: Do you think the LSAT is still a requirement? Am I supposed to have a very high grade on it even if I have a JD and LLM? I need to have answers to these questions thay may not be why do you want to have your JD. Thank you!

Once you decide about JD, you may be required to compete with other candidates in the matter of LSAT. However, your jD/LL.M may be weighted for admission considerations.

In some schools, may be one of top 20, LL.M students are given the option to transfer to JD without LSAT.
