I finished law school in 2011, Magna Cum Laude, but decided to continue the LLM in Health Law thinking that it would improve my chances of finding a job in this economy. I got accepted in 3 different schools, all of them ranked in the top 5 Health Law LLM Programs. I debated whether ranking in a specific program was better than school ranking, and after researching a lot about it was convinced that the ranking of the program was better. Big MISTAKE! In general law firms don't know the rankings of the specific programs but they do know the rankings of the schools, so having send over a 1000 resumes to law firms, agencies, hospitals, I still cant get even an interview. The University of Houston doesn't provide much help except for a job board, and internship opportunities which require you to work for free. In an ideal scenario I guess if you can afford your own rent and expenses by other means like a parents or husbands, then thats your best chance at getting a job after, but working during the LLM because I needed the money to cover my loving expenses, didn't allow me free time to also work for free, and after finishing the program, I cant afford to intern for a year because once again, I need money to pay rent and living expenses while I do that, and I don't have a support system. So unless you are an experienced attorney with savings to pay for the program, and who can easily get a job after with your old firm or starting your own practice, I wouldn't advice going 45-60k in debt thinking you will be in a better position and with better job offers. I finished law school with only 40k in debt which I could have easily pay with any job, but when you double that to get a LLM and you are told by the program that there aren't any jobs out there and that perhaps you should consider working as something else besides being an attorney, is almost an insult, because there aren't many jobs out there with which you can afford to pay back law school loans. So if you are thinking about going straight after law school without any job experience, think again! Most jobs in health law require 2-5 years of experience and the Health Law LLM from UH wont help you improve your chances to get a first year associate job in a regular firm.
