I know it seems not an appropriate question.
The thing is my husband and I are living in San Diego now. He is a phd student and I am a mother, taking care of a 18-months-old kid. And I have got USD comperative law LLM admission( in deference). I know it's not easy that being a good law school student, good mother and good wife at the same time, especially when I don't have any background of USA legal training.
Therefore, I want to know if USD LLM program of comperative law is easy to get passed or not, since I may not be a whole-hearted student (sorry to say that).
USD LLM easy or diffucult?

Hi, perhaps you could ask to do the LLM part-time. I believe that most schools would be sympathetic to your situation, just frame your question more positively. Best of luck to you.

Hmm I am somewhat on the same boat. I am a wife but I don't have kids (we have dogs that we treat like our kids LOL). I have to go to school then come back home cooking dinner for my husband before doing my assignment/preparing for the class.
The USD might not be a tough school to graduate like the Ivy Leage or Stanford, but it is definitely NOT easy. This is my first semester and I feel really pressured even though I have work experience at U.S. courthouse. On the day before school started, I received e-mail telling me I have 4 cases to prepare before the class which was on the next day! Most classes will be taught in Socratic method so you will be asked questions every 10 min. I heard from the graduted students that the exam is pretty tough - except you come very well-prepared and take excellent notes during lecture.
You can enroll as the part-time student if you are U.S. resident. I think that would suit your schedule better.
