The standard
law degree is the Juris Doctor, or JD.
Generally, most JD programs last 3
years, with some exceptions (some schools,
like UMKC, offer part-time programs; other
schools offer accelerated programs, which
allow the students to potentially graduate
after 2 ½ years).
Many law schools also offer
dual-degree programs, which provide the law student with the
opportunity to receive a JD and a second graduate degree
(usually, but not always, a Masters degree) in a shortened
time period. Some traditional joint
degree programs include: JD/Masters in Business
Administration (MBA); JD/Master’s in Public Administration
(MPA); JD/MA (typical masters programs include Political
Science, History, and International Studies).
While the normal JD program is three years, and the
normal masters program is 2 years, the joint degree programs
usually last only 4 years (saving the student one year!).
Finally, many law schools
offer LLM degrees, which are advanced law degrees.
Generally, you must have a JD to be admitted into an
LLM program. Most LLM programs last 1
year, and they are usually specialized.
Typical LLM specializations include International Law and
Tax Law.
