Hi,
I am almost done with my MBA from Johns Hopkins, Before that I got a Computer Science BS from Univ. of Marylan. I want to get into law. My questions is what should I do, JD? LLM? what are the options.
I will be going to school part time, and want to stay in the MD/DC area.
And, I am not planning to practice law (atleast now), I just want to study law, and believe that it will help me in my management career.
Thanks
What to do.

Part-time JD program at Georgetown, because I don't think there are part-time LL.M. programs. Besides, if you want to practice law later on, JD will be better.

I agree. Georgetown has an excellent part-time JD program. LL.M is not an option because the OP does not have a first law degree.

Agreed. Georgetown at night.

Yes, I checked with the GWU Law School and per them I CANNOT do LLM without going through JD first. I dunt know if I am ready to go to school for another 5 yrs.
