Hi there, I know some people have posted about the 2 year JD program, but there aren't too many answers, or they are incomplete.
I am intended to take a two year JD program in US, so what are the schools that offer such program within the 2 year period mentioned above?

Thanks
Marcos

Hi.
I know about three universities that offer JD for international students in two years:
1. Northwestern University.
2. Duke University.
3. Kansas State University.

I hope it helped.

you'd better have some serious cash because there isn't much grant money for foreign students. You are looking at at least $ 50,000 or more, depending on the school.

George Washington school of law, Washington DC, also offers 2 year JD program, but for that u have to clear LSAT, get admission as regular JD .. A student in this program who completes 28 credit hours of course work at this law school with a grade-point average of 2.0 or above may petition the Academic ­Scholarship Committee to be granted 28 hours of advanced standing for law studies outside the U.S. and thereby earn the J.D. degree in two years. A student whose average is below 2.0 after taking 28 hours of course work must complete the full J.D. program, which requires 84 hours of course work. Students will be admitted to this program only at the start of the fall semester.

I think that you are looking at three years - the LLM would not count towards getting you a JD.

You may be better off delaying and reapplying for the two-year JD next year.

I think for qualified English solicitors such as us it is a borderline call whether to do the 2-year JD or an LLM. From memory you are wanting to change your specialism from conveyancing - so the JD may well be a good call - wipe the slate clean etc. However, if you were merely wanting to add some specialist education - relevant to your current area of expertise to your cv - (as is the case for me) then the LLM, I think, would be the way to go.
I have friends who have completed the 2-year JD and they have enjopyed it - albeit having to study contract/tort etc etc from scratch was something of a drag.
