Hiya, does anyone know which law schools offer one year's worth of credits for an LLB towards the JD degree, so that you can complete it in 2 years? I'm currently aware of UConn, UMiami, UPenn and also GW.

Thanks for your time :D

okay.......so nobody knows???

U of Miami is the best place to achieve this.

Thanks for the reply, however I asked about schools OTHER than the ones I've already mentioned - UM being one of them.

If you obtained your LLB in common law jurisdiction you might be in luck at CLS:

International lawyers who intend to reside permanently and to practice law in the United States should apply for the J.D. degree, the first degree in law, rather than the LL.M. The J.D. program is normally three years of full-time study. Generally, a maximum of one year's advanced standing toward the J.D. degree at Columbia may be granted for graduate legal studies completed in the United States or another common law country. Such standing, however, is determined on an individual basis by request of the student after an offer of admission has been made. No advanced standing is given for legal studies completed in a civil law country. Completion of an LL.M. degree at Columbia Law School does not guarantee admission to the J.D. program.
