Hi, I am an American with a JD from the US. And I have been thinking a lot about getting an LLM in the UK. I have considered an LLM in European Law but am pretty open as to what LLM I would get when it comes down to it. Is this worth my time or should I just move on to something else? What are the prospects of me getting a job in Europe with an LLM? I am not even necessarily looking at any lawyer work but just anything that would accept my LLM background in Europe. Are there any employers that would look favorably with that type of degree? Any advice would help.
I don't know if I'm shooting at the moon here, but is it possible to work in a European University with an LLM combined with my JD background. I'm not even necessarily thinking of becoming a professor but anything whatsoever connected to the University even a job in the Undergrad Department of a University. Thanks again.

Its important to realize that the vast majority of teaching in European law schools is undergrad - so when you state 'even', that's a given.
The LLM is not really a route into teaching - you'd need to be on a PhD program to be accepted for part-time teaching.
What are your language skills and particular research interests? You should pick a course and pick a country first.

Yes, I was considering getting a PhD after my LLM. I was also actually considering International Law as another course of interest. As far as language skills, I am a fluent English speaker. I am pretty sure I want to stick to the UK specifically England. As far as research interests, I don't have anything in mind yet.
