Hi, I wanna ask for your advice on my situation. I am based in the US. I have a BA in Architecture and a Master of City Planning. I am about to finish my PhD in city planning. I realize that I seriously lack legal knowledge and want to build it up through a DL program. The degree I do should add significant value to my profile when I go on the job market and join the private sector or an international organization.
But I can't decide whether I should do LLB or LLM. LLB coursework lays very fundamental groundwork for a career in law and I would gain a great deal of general understanding about law.... On the other hand, LLM would give me an in-depth knowledge of specific area I focus on and lend more credibility to my resume.
I am looking at the University of London International Program. Your inputs would be much appreciated!!
