Are LL.M grades considered when applying for a second LL.M


I got 2:2 in LLB and first class in LL.M and have 6 years of legal experience where I have performed in the High Court too and have won many cases.

I am thinking to do an LL.M related to finance as my firm will fully cover the costs. So my question is when I apply for my second LL.M, will they consider my good grades in my first LL.M or is my LLB the only thing that matters.

Why wouldn't they consider your LLM grades? What did the law school say when you asked them the same question?

I haven't asked any law school but I have checked the entry criteria of many.

Depends. Most school would consider your bachelor in general. Your LL.M. may be considered if that degree is relevant to your intended major or just a mere requirement. Normally, if you are undergoing your study, they might issue a conditional offer stating your expected GPA at the end of your course, for instance. Your LL.M. may show that you are capable of finishing a higher degree or your education velocity if your undergraduate is below average. Highly encourage you to reach out to each school’s office because not every law school would consider LL.M. Most importantly, your relevant work experience would outweigh your GPA, provided that you work for a while: more than 4 years or mid-level career.
