Could somebody please be so kind to explain to me the difference between the various academic degrees that students of law are eligible for in Anglo-American educational systems?
My thoughts are as follows:
LLB - 3-year curriculum, possible to become lawyer?
JD - ?
LLM - relatively clear to me
PhD - possible degree in law at all?
Thanks, Chief
