Hello everybody! I am a Russian law bachelor student with excellent GPA and work experience for 4 years. I plan to get an American law education to work NOT such as practical lawyer but as a lawyer in some kind of international company, maybe in Europe even, but not in Russia anyway. So, my question is-which programme should I choose: LLM or JD? I mean, how much opportunities will I have to hold a high-paid job with LLM, since it looks better because of time spending, money etc? I aware that it's really hard to get job in USA with LLM as a foreign student, but, again, I do not plan to pass bar exams, I want to work in international firm with specializing in international relationships?
Moreover, what is more profitable-to be a practical American lawyer or work such as hired lawyer?
In addition, I schedule to study in top-5/top-10 universities
Thank you very much
JD or LLM
