Thank u.

An undergraduate degree in engineering + JD + patent bar = highly employable. Majority of law school entrants still consist of humanities majors. The science and technical degrees still constitute a relatively small fraction of law school graduates. Electrical and computer engineers are especially sought after.

The undergraduate Law degree in the U.S is for 3 years and it very expensive. You also need to get recommendation letters from your Professors. You can go to www.Lsat.com, which will give u information about LSAT and also links to the Law school in the U.S. u CAN FOCUS ON Intellectual Property Law in your J.D or top it up with an LL.M specializing in Intellectual Poperty Laws.

Tue, 09 Aug 2005 06:42:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/7118/last#7207 Hi I am also a person pursuing law degree after engineering. As far as i know, it is impossible to conduct PG directly after your B.eng. You would first require to attend J.D. or LL.B. For you, J.D. is seemed fit to you. Good luck.

Preferably, hold a first degree in law; or (if that’s not the case) 2. Have relevant work experience in law related issues. As you can imagine, an LL.M., being a Master Program, is suited to students with basic knowledge and used to deal with the reasoning and methods inherent to the law practice. Therefore, a graduate student in engineering, in order to “switch” to the law field should, in my opinion: 1. Obtain a first degree in law; 2. Make a post-graduation or some general introductory course (eg, summer Program) And only after that try to apply to an LL.M. Good luck Mon, 26 Oct 2009 22:33:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/7118/last#75789 hi in your reply it looks that BE computer science is elligble for the LLM please confirm if i have interpreted your statement correctly.

Much of an LLM course is academically rigourous even for JDs/LLBs and it may be extremely hard for an engineer to start off with.
