Impact of LLM Name


Geographic

I am wavering between an LLM in Human Rights and LLM in International Law. Both programs are at the same school, and both offer identical courses in the area of human rights. I intend to work specifically in the human rights field upon completion. However, I wonder whether the LLM degree title "Human Rights" might limit options for me should I eventually choose to teach (or in other ways I have not anticipated), or if it might actually open doors. Please share thoughts.

Hey! Im not sure if Im the right person to say anything..
But as u said LLM in International law definitely has wider scope- especially if you're looking at employment in International organizations to work in the HUman rights field. However, I can't imagine the difference to be too much for the work part... but teaching it might. But then again, t cant be too vast.
