I am wavering between an LLM in Human Rights and LLM in International Law. Both programs are at the same school, and both offer identical courses in the area of human rights. I intend to work specifically in the human rights field upon completion. However, I wonder whether the LLM degree title "Human Rights" might limit options for me should I eventually choose to teach (or in other ways I have not anticipated), or if it might actually open doors. Please share thoughts.
