Hi there,
II am doing my LLB from UCL (external degree) and waiting for my second year's result. I've heard that after u get your 2nd yr results, that is the right time to apply to universities. i need to know 2 things. Firstly; what is a better option after you're done with LLB... BAR or an LLM? What is the market like? what does it demand? LLM deg. holder or something else? And, if i do LPC, would it only help me if i decide to work in europe ? Because people tell me that , do your lpc, only if u want to live in europe.. but not if u want to come back to your country . (back to asia i;e)

Secondly, what are my chances if i decide to change my track and go to USA after completing my LLB? Will i need to do JD, some bar exam or can i just straight away do my LLM? IS doinf LLM from usa after 3 extensive years of studying british law a good idea? Would it help me in my career? Or should i stick to UK , weigh my options and see whether i want to do LLM or become a barrister?

Is it practical to change your ways completely from english to american? or should i just stick to what i'm doing and forget american law?

I guess i seem pretty confused right now.. i would really like and appreciate some sincere advice and tips !
Waiting for a reply.... !

As long as you have completed a 3 year LLB course in England then you will certainly be allowed to take the New York Bar Exam, for example.

A US LLM or JD is not required.

But, i'm doing my external degree u see. I am sitting in another country, but i will get UCL's law degree. Does that make a difference?
