I have looked and searched and sorry, I can't find the exact definition of this. Is it a British law degree, a master's degree, a Juris Doctorate. Hate to be so stupid. Have found lot's of references to it but no true definition. I was looking at the BA in 4 weeks site, master's page and found a fastastic degree, LLM in Medical Law from the University of North Umbria. Can't find anything similar in US that actually accepts health care professionals into it without being a lawyer first. This degree marries law, medicine and health care together which is exactly what I'm looking for after finishing this bachelor's degree. Looks legitimate and since it's on Lawrie's website I'm assuming (yes, I know) that this is in fact a legitimate degree that would be acceptable in the US. Anyone can jump in here. Thanks as always.
In the UK people seeking to become lawyers usually get a Bachelor of Laws or LLB, althought there are other routes to becoming a lawyer. The LLM is a Master of Laws usually earned by people who are already lawyers.
LL.M is a Master of Laws degree, usualy earned after you have a JD. There are a number of LL.M programs offered by ABA approved schools in the US that will admit non-JD graduates who have appropriate experience. Some are offered by DL. Hope this helps.
