It is possible, yet tiring, if you want to pursue both degrees consecutively. From my understanding, LLM in UK is one-year duration (ie, End of Sep 2011 to Early Sep 2012). However, LLM in US is 9-month degree, and the orientation date of the degree can be widely varied from end of july to early september. Thus, you need to carefully check the schedule in order to aviod the clashes.
it's just my two cents

maybe you can do it - but what is the use of doing it ?
You should take into account that the quality of a lot of programs is "questionable" - when you compare it to other qualifications you can acquire during this time.
Also you should consider that you pay a lot of money - that will take you years to earn by working.

Thanks for the advices , i have the reason to do this . In my country , if you want to be a judge , easier way to admit is getting 2 LLM from other countries. My LLB grade is not quite good, so I want a good grade from 1 st LLM then using this grade to admit for 2nd LLM in Top US law school. Berkeley does not accept the one who has already hold LLM from American Law School. So I think I could go to UK first. Or what eles do you guys suggest?
