标题: 如不想做律師唸JD值得嗎

請教各位有JD學位或者有在美國執業的人

我有美國的學士學位對法律很有興趣所以想念JD

但我不確定是否想做律師我是比較希望在商界運用法律知識

這樣值得花三年時間和十萬美金唸JD嗎

读JD后从商的不少，读的时候侧重商业的法律。不过前提是要能找到一份工作让你运用法律。另外，读JD不一定要当律师，可以搞咨询，到政府部门，去公司当法律顾问，等等。至于值不值得，很难衡量，取决于个人具体情况，10万美金对某些人是很多，对某些人不算什麽。

既然已经在美国有学士学位 JD是个不错的选择

你可以申请MBA+JD的联合学位

在美国生活学法律的地位会比较高投入产出可以预见个人以为值得

我听过不少的人对这个问题的讨论, 个人人为, 如果从一开始就想从商, 去读JD是不值得的,JD的训练相对比较专业,甚至可以说狭隘, 投入多(除非三年15万美元对你来说没什么), 而且一但进入这个行业, 很难出来. 虽然商和法联系很多, 但一个好的做管理的人不需要懂很多法律去做好管理, 因为直接雇佣一个懂的人给你做咨询是更快捷和经济的做法.

我甚至听过这样的说法, LAW SCHOOL训练谨慎的人, 但这种思维在商界是吃不开的, 个人认为还是有几分道理的

25% OF all CEOs in top global 500, has the JD degree; while 40 OF all CEOs has the MBA.

Also,JD is more useful, I bet.

以下是引用shifeng1119在2005-7-16 7:27:00的发言：

25% OF all CEOs in top global 500, has the JD degree; while 40 OF all CEOs has the MBA.

Also,JD is more useful, I bet.

40%>25%

So, MBA is more useful, i bet.

I totally understand how kenichu feels because I am not going to study my J.D. for the sake of being a lawyer either. But some words of warning here: being interested in law is quite different from studying law as a profession; and this is the same as being interested in philosophy v.s. studying philosophy in the strict training. You may wonder why I want to study J.D. My reason is even more astonishing--I want to pursue a career in the academic legal research, which needs a J.D.as a foundation. We all have different paths, right? That's called diversity. However, if you are seriously thinking about law training in the strict sense, never give it up!

I would take a look at law schools'placement statistics. the percentage of the JD graduates go for non-legal sections in each of all the law schools is very small. You can get out of the legal professions if you try really hard. But it takes years to do that. that said, if you are not sure you want to be a lawyer or law academia, you have to think hard if it is worthy to do such an expensive and brain-burning degree.

恕我直言，如果不是想作律师，读JD根本没什么意思，毕竟JD的宗旨就是培养优秀的律师，如果你仅仅想了解一些法律知识，你可以申请法学院的另一个学位，这个学位是专门为想了解法律当不想做律师的人设立的，具体名字我记不太清楚了，不过具体的可以和法学院联系。（不是LLM）哦

楼上的几位不要出馊注意哦，什么MBA+JD啊！除非你家财万贯，家里肯拿几百万随便玩玩的，那大可这样申请！

I am very interested in this topic as well. You must be excellent in language as a premise of entering law school.If you are so capable,I think the top law schools are attractive.(Like yale ..etc.) And you will definitely find it worthwhile.But if you are not so prevailing, MBA is more realistic, I think.

不想作律师的何必花那个时间和金钱去读JD？你想过没有，找工作时候比如大公司HR最直接的问题就是为什么你读了法学院而不想作律师而又想了作管理？毕竟JD对所有申请人来说已经是一个“转行”了——至少有了一个专业的学士学位。

同样的问题在国内法律硕士JM也会面临，很多人不想做律师去公司作管理的时候就被问到，回答的不是很圆满的话，往往被认为不够成熟，不知道自己想要什么，做个几年也许又改行了，如果有机会。
