It seems that Georgetown has a better location, in DC...
How much does that matter when looking for a job in US law firms? |

Btw, I heard UPenn allows LLM students to transfer to JD quite easily. Need
confirmation though.

发帖数: 188 | 7 地点见仁见智吧 都不算特别理想 不过DC总体上比Philly要好
如果是JD 毫无疑问 UPenn>GULC
LLM嘛 很难说 如果你有英美大所经验 例如legal consultant或paralegal的话 还是有
可能拿到大所offer的 这种情况下UPenn有优势但是不是很明显 毕竟这个难度不低 主
要还是取决于之前的工作经验
如果是中小所或有意自己开业的话 区别就更小了 |

发帖数: 2464 | 8 what do you mean by starting SOLO?
Start your own practice? But as a fresh graduate in US,
where to find clients?

发帖数: 1757 | 9 as people have mentioned above, if your goal is to find a position at big
law firms, then better go with JD unless you already have strong prior
working experience in either China or US. Not that a JD would guarantee you
a market paying job, but your chances will be much higher with a JD than an
LLM. |

Is that strong enough? (I know there is no absolute measurements, but just
relatively speaking?...)

发帖数: 1757 | 11 you probably should look around your peers at such firms and see how they
have done in the past with LLMs. |
