Hey

I hope some helpfully souls can help me out.. I have always been interested in politics and law however went to study politics. After pursuing a master degree in political science I skills want to study law.

I am not sure what will be the best option for me. I do want to practice law very much...
But I am not sure which if GDL OR LLM will give me more opportunities. I have interest in family law, intellectual property law and human rights.

Currently based in UK hence thought I could study in UK but I do not wish to stay here forever. Well the food culture here does not make it use to vegetarian and health conscious.

I want to move Canada/US at some point - or generally want to travel but I also concerned that about job opportunities.

Universities in UK do not provide one-to-one counselling for foreign students.

Any advice will be much appreciated.

Thank you..!!

If I were you, I'd try to clarify my goals before I committed to a degree program.

The GDL tends to be the route to eventually practice law in the UK. GDL --> LPC

An LLM in primarily for those who want to broaden their practice.

If you want to eventually practice law in the US, you'd probably want to consider a JD program.

Do you have a first degree in law?

As far as I know, two-year JDs - those aimed at foreign lawyers - in the US are typically only available to those who have already completed a first degree in law.
