◆以下內(nèi)容為收集整理，供大家學(xué)習(xí)參考??！
LLM是近兩年熱門的留學(xué)專業(yè)，高就業(yè)率、高工資、優(yōu)良的工作環(huán)境及優(yōu)越的社會(huì)地位是促使LLM專業(yè)走紅的重要因素，而作為全世界的金融中心的美國, 它的LLM專業(yè)自然也是全世界學(xué)生報(bào)讀的熱門,中國也就出現(xiàn)了越來越多的學(xué)生轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)分去讀這個(gè)專業(yè)了，在這里給大家簡單介紹一下該專業(yè)的相關(guān)信息。
LLM是英文Master of Law的簡寫，譯為法學(xué)碩士。美國LLM專業(yè)的主要教學(xué)內(nèi)容是對(duì)美國基本法律制度和法律體系的簡要介紹，偏重于法律理論知識(shí)的學(xué)習(xí)。美國不同大學(xué)開設(shè)的 LLM專業(yè)不同，但一般分為兩種：Generalized Studies和 Specialized Studies。一般大學(xué)只開設(shè)前者，也就是對(duì)美國法律的總體介紹;少數(shù)大學(xué)還會(huì)特別開設(shè)后者，包括如環(huán)境法、比較法、公司法、破產(chǎn)法、知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)保護(hù)法等多種專業(yè)法律的研究課程，申請人可以根據(jù)自己的興趣選擇相應(yīng)的專業(yè)進(jìn)行申請。
美國大學(xué)LLM專業(yè)一般只需要1年學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間(部分大學(xué)是9個(gè)月)，修完完4到8門專業(yè)課程并完成論文。然而，LLM專業(yè)的學(xué)費(fèi)也相對(duì)較貴，大部分學(xué)校的學(xué)費(fèi)在4-5W美元之間，加上生活費(fèi)一般會(huì)在6W美元左右。
美國大學(xué)LLM專業(yè)不需要GRE/GMAT，也不需要LSAT成績，因?yàn)榭梢哉f的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化考試就是TOEFL成績。由于專業(yè)本身的特性，大部分LLM專業(yè)的TOEFL錄取低要求都是100分(部分學(xué)校還有單項(xiàng)要求)，而xx大法律學(xué)院的平均錄取分?jǐn)?shù)更是在110分左右。
另外，GPA是錄取的另一個(gè)可以量化的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，一般申請者的GPA在3.5左右，而很多頂尖法學(xué)院錄取平均GPA更是達(dá)到3.6-3.8之間，競爭十分激烈。除了標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化成績，各種相關(guān)經(jīng)歷也不可或缺。法院、檢察院、律所的相關(guān)實(shí)習(xí)經(jīng)歷，各種社會(huì)調(diào)查和實(shí)踐，法律援助活動(dòng)，法律學(xué)術(shù)交流活動(dòng)等等都作為大學(xué)評(píng)判申請者的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。由于每位申請者的經(jīng)歷和關(guān)注點(diǎn)各不相同，我們建議申請人根據(jù)自己的特點(diǎn)選擇申請切入點(diǎn)，有條理由選擇地規(guī)劃自己的申請，避免千篇一律。
LLM的出路主要有三條：
第一，回中國作律師。這個(gè)是大多數(shù)LLM的選擇。有工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)的律師通常還是會(huì)回國，因?yàn)樵趪鴥?nèi)有了一定的經(jīng)濟(jì)基礎(chǔ)或家庭。而沒有工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)的LLM在美國更加找不到工作，所以還是要回來。
第二，在美國找到工作或一年的internship。但根據(jù)以往LLM的說法是‘it is extremely difficult to find a job offer, especially those who will support yourJ-1visa’.LLM在美國找到工作是很難的，難到什么程度？根據(jù)UPenn career office的統(tǒng)計(jì)，在過去6年（05年之前）LLM的班級(jí)中，成功找到工作的人僅15％，差的xx屆，只有3個(gè)人找到工作。雖然各校情況存在差異性，但基本上“找工作”很難，尤其是對(duì)沒有經(jīng)驗(yàn)、直接去讀LLM的人來說。即使在那些找到工作的人群里面，很大一部分是在國內(nèi)外所有工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)，和該外所的美國分所事先有協(xié)議，在那里工作或?qū)嵙?xí)一段時(shí)間。所以，如果你是一個(gè)本科生，基本上要做壞的打算：找不到工作，可能考完Bar就要回來。同樣，intern也是很難很難的。
第三，LLM轉(zhuǎn)JD。因此，很多本科生出去，在迫于無奈之下決定做更大的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)投資，就是轉(zhuǎn)JD。一些學(xué)校，比如Columbia，Cornell，和UPenn都允許成績優(yōu)秀的LLM轉(zhuǎn)成JD。但一些學(xué)校，比如NYU，是不允許的。
在這里給大家推薦幾所近年來申請LLM的熱門學(xué)校：

The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law Master of Laws (LL.M.) Program is designed for foreign lawyers who wish to advance their legal education in a stimulating academic environment. The College offers the dual advantages of a highly-regarded law curriculum at a major U.S. university and an LL.M. program of limited size that allows for individualized attention and support.
Two of the program’s primary goals are to immerse foreign lawyers in a year of U.S. legal education and to foster interaction between American J.D. students and the LL.M. students. In large part this is accomplished by integrating the LL.M students into the J.D. curriculum, ensuring that both groups will benefit from the interaction and graduate from their respective programs well prepared to participate in an increasingly globalized world.
Moritz also offers a rich selection of student activities outside the classroom where LL.M. students may participate in the life of the College.
Ohio State’s LL.M. program offers students an opportunity to select their courses from a rich and diverse curriculum. Students may choose a generalized study of U.S. law or may tailor their courses to fit specialized interests and career objectives. Students have an option to elect a concentration in Business Law, Criminal Law and Procedure, Intellectual Property and Information Law, International and Comparative Law, Labor and Employment Law, or Alternative Dispute Resolution, or they may design a customized concentration.
