Well NJ does not let foreign lawyers practice. So, not sure how going to a school in NJ helps. Try a school in NY, like Fordham, As far as working during school year goes, well it is difficult. You can approach law professors when they post research assistant positions. Be warned though, consider a cold return on investment before an LL.M. If you are not on a visa which lets you work, you may never get that money back.
