Hello, I am currently a bachelor at law in the Netherlands and am scheduled to graduate this schoolyear. However, my goal has always been to work in the US, hence why I am majoring in International Law. My question is what is the best way to go about this?
Obviously the best way would be to get a JD in the US and pass the bar (although I am still not completely sure if that is necessary for someone who wants to practice international Law in the US, any help here would be nice as well!) but I cannot really afford that. Because of this, I was looking into doing a LLM.
But what would be better, to only do a LLM in the US? Or first do a LLm in Europe and then a LLm in the US? Or only do a LLM in Europe and then just move to the US and try my chances and finding a job there?

Btw, I already have an American passport, so acquiring a visa will not be an issue.

Any help would be much appreciated!

If working in the US is your ultimate goal, JD is still your best bet. Given the constraints you mentioned, however, it appears that a US LLM would be the better alternative, as opposed to taking a Europe LLM beforehand.

Thank you very much for your help. I have proceeded to also ask the career services department at some American universities regarding this question. I will probably also forward the same question to some American law firms which deal with international law.
Thanks again,

You're welcome. All the best!
