[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s similar for lawyers. Master of Laws after Doctor of Laws.[/quote] It's counterintuitive. The Census Bureau and the BLS for instance suggest that first professional degrees are "higher" than master's degrees when they provide data on educational attainment. For instance if you have an MA in political science and a JD, your highest educational attainment is "professional degree." In this case, one doesn't really outrank the other because they're different areas of study. But the LL.M. outranks the JD in the study of law even though it's "only" a master's.[/quote] Although most of the people I know with LLMs are international students with a non-US law degree who did it to qualify to take the bar in a US jurisdiction. I know very few US JDs who did LLMs.[/quote]
