In my country we don't ask this question because we don't have to pay anything to get a degree , all degrees are free , from bachelor to PhD. That's why i studied law, philosophy and journalist
But there is the opportunity cost: you spent time earning more degrees when you could have done something else. In other words, you have to factor in your time as well.
@@sufy3677 Collecting degrees may leave one feeling fulfilled, but what about all the things you could have done? Out of the countless things out there, why did you choose to pursue more and more areas of study?
I am currently a law student fiinishing my LLB (I study in Spain), I want to pursue a PhD in law since my ultimate goal is to be a professor. Ideally I would like to teach in the US (I had the opportunity to study one semester at Cornell Law School and fell in love with how law school is taught in the US) but I am flexible. After getting my PhD in law in Spain I would like to do an LLM in the US and a JSD there too. I know it sounds like a lot but to be honest life in academia writing papers sounds like the most wonderful thing to me. Thank you for the video!
All I need to know is the responsible people who know what needs to happen to make me whole and move this forward. A lot of people here seem to have the same mood. Thank you!
Thanks. In the US, law schools can waive the bachelors degree, but I’ve never seen it done. Well, one time, but in that case the student only had one more undergraduate course to go and the law school allowed him to take that one course during his first semester of law school.
Awesome video on the attorney doctoral degrees. Can yo do a video on your perspective on legal apprenticeship and diploma privilege? I personally don't like the ideas, but a man of your erudition can enlighten others outside the legal world.
Imho those extra degrees are mostly useless, unless the person is hoping to become a law prof and needs to publish law review articles. Getting yet another degree from a poorly ranked school isn't going to help most people.
Your closing section was very interesting. Do you know of any cross-disciplinary scholars working at the intersection of law and music (not IP), where a PhD in music has been helpful?
Hello professor, I am currently in 11th grade in high school and I plan on becoming a law professor. However, I don’t really have mentors or anyone that has knowledge about law school. My plan is majoring in education, then getting a masters in law and later getting a juris doctor degree. Although i’m not quite sure if this is a great pathway on becoming a law professor. I would greatly appreciate it if you gave me some advice, in a few months I will be applying for college and i’m still unsure with what programs I should be taking. Thank you!
Don’t know where you live, but I suspect the path is similar. First, get into an elite college-in education the credential matters. Next, you need top grades so you can get into an elite law school-the nation’s best. Again, need to graduate at or near the top of the class. In the US, once in law school you also need to join law review and a judicial clerkship after graduation. Must begin writing academic papers right after law school graduation.
Admissions will vary between programs. Each school will accept the top candidates that apply to their school, assuming there is an interested faculty advisor.
Not clear why people who need me are calling me dumb. I will be moving on and whoever enabled that for so many years who also wants to use anything from my life or get my support should address that quickly and correctly. I mean or I will keep relying on people who call everyone out for wasting my time on lies.
“In Europe” -shows picture of Radcliffe building at Oxford *stares in EU* Great video though! Had no idea about the other terminal law degrees besides a Ph.D or LLD. In Ireland anyway, I would say the Ph.D in Law is more recognised and taken by students than the LLD From what I hear, the University of Oxford offer a DPhil or Mphil in law. Are they much different ? I was wondering if (along similar lines to this series) you could do an educational progression of degrees in civil law? I myself am studying for a Bachelor of Civil Law and a Maîtrise en Droit between Dublin and Paris for my undergrads. I hear law schools in Canada offer similar programs of qualifying degrees in Common Law and Civil Law considering the overlap over there (especially in places like Québec).
I suspect that all research-based terminal degrees are equivalent because they require a thesis. That is different from some modern terminal degrees, where students primarily complete classes rather than a lengthy thesis.
Can you become a assistant district attorney with a LLM degree with specialization in criminal justice ? What masters degree can you get to become a law school professor ?
In the United States you need a JD to become a law professor. An LLM does not make much difference. However, if you are doing multidisciplinary work, then a PhD in that other discipline will be useful. Finally, where you attend law school is important as most law school faculty graduate from the T14.
@@Learnlawbetter one more question what if you already have a PhD in another field and have a LLM can you become a law school professor ? Do you have to have a PhD in law ?
Sir, I am an undergraduate engineering student and want to switch to JD/MBA after my graduation. The biggest reason for it is my interest in social sciences, public dealing and overall inclinations. Your channel has been really informative for me. So, I want to ask is it a right decision for me to switch career? I took engineering because being from Pakistan we are expected to select it as an only option but now they have also realized. Kindly answer my question.
Syed Atif It depends on what you want to do in life. I’ve had several engineers in my classes and they have done well. What you need to do is find out what lawyers and engineers actually do for a living. Go talk to a few and ask them what their typical day looks like.
It's so interesting to me that you need to have studied another subject before you can go to law school in the US, Canada and Australia. I'm from the Netherlands and when it was time for me to choose what bachelor to pursue, law was a very obvious choice. Nothing else really interested me. What are, as far as you know, the most popular bachelor degrees among students with law school ambitions in the US? And do you think the benefits of the system that's in place in the US, outweigh its disadvantages? Over here, the big law firms only want young overachievers, so a 25 y/o LL.M is already considered old. I'm assuming US biglaw focusses less on age and more on actual grades, achievements and experience
One advantage in the US is maturity. The human brain doesn’t fully develop until age 25, which is about the age that a student graduates with a US law degree. The US system also weeds out the weaker students in college, rather than relying solely on high school grades.
A few of the students I’ve tutored in Australia were LLB students, not JD students. I suspect that over the next few decades, Australia will phase out that option. In the US it took about 40 years for undergraduate legal education to be phased out.
I have a llb with the university of London via distance learning and a previous sociology degree with a minor in psychology at the university of the west indies. What would you suggest should be my next steps academically to be more attractive for employment? I want to sit the bar exam but I'm hoping I'm approved without having to do an llm.
@@Learnlawbetter yes in the US.... sorry I should've stated that in my comment. I've recently migrated and I would like to be able to have good career opportunities. I know Covid-19 may not make this easy unfortunately.
Joining the bar is the first step. But each State has its own rules. For some you’ll need an LLM, in others you’ll need to earn a JD, and in others you can join the bar without additional education.
@@Learnlawbetter would the llm have to be with a US institution? And do you know off hand any of the states where I may not need additional education. I'm from NYC.
Kemba Cudjoe You need to earn one at an ABA accredited law school. I believe Wisconsin is a state where you don’t need any additional education-one of my students last year is a lawyer in North Macedonia, but she decided to earn her JD in Illinois because she didn’t want to leave the state.
Hi Beau, I have been watching your videos for 18 months now and they have helped me so much. depending on my module choices, a section I have always struggled on is how to Critically evaluate . would this be something you could discuss in on of your videos ? I think this would really help a lot of students. This is essential I believe for forming our own opinions on topics? and helps develop arguments? Thank you
Hello Professor. Thanks a lot for that informative video. Is it necessary that a person should have done his/her JD from US to get into teaching in a US Law School? What are the chances for a person who has done his/her UnderGrad and Masters from India, and a PhD from US ?

Hello I am an Undergraduate Student of Political Sciences and Marketing in Canada, I would like to be a corporate lawyer one day. From what I have taken away, and LL.D is primarily tailored for individuals who wish to be professors of law. Will an LL.M, say in something like Taxation/Commercial/Business/Economic law help me more, in regards to opportunities in the private sector. Thank you
I don’t know about Canada, but in the US all you need is the JD. The best opportunities go to graduates of the top law schools. And then to the top graduates of those schools.

his info on the UK is bull, you don't go straight to law school out of high school. if you need high level basic GCSE (the first qualification after leaving high school), then you need A-Levels (achieved either at a high school with Sixth Form or in a college). also, I have only ever heard it called a PhD in the UK and nothing else, this includes Oxford uni. please do your research "professor"

Excellent video. Quick note: in Canada, a bachelor's degree is not required to get into Law school. Only 2 years of undergraduate study.
Thank you. This is similar to law schools accredited by the State of California. Glad to have learned something new.
