Was wondering if anyone could answer the following questions:
1) Is it possible for foreign trained lawyers to take tax LLMs if they haven't done a comparative law LLM. I ask this because a foreign lawyer wouldn't know the basics of US law?
2) When employability with a LLM and not a JD has been discussed in previous posts, are people referring to the larger well-known firms or all firms? I was wondering if it is easier to gain employment with a US LLM in small-medium sized firms,.
3) Does anyone go to USD/know anything about USD? I've posted before but no one has replied on the msg board. If you don't want to reply publically but don't mind answering some questions please feel free to private message me!
