[求助]申请JD有什么硬性条件么？bow~~~

taminkki

初来乍到，刚刚决定要出国了，但对于国外法律方面学位的申请还是基本处于无知的状态

请教各位如果我想出国念JD，是不是还要现在国外拿到一个master的学历？

本人现在在复旦大学年法律硕士，09年毕业，本科不是法学专业的

如果想要毕业直接去美国念jd可以么？不知道复旦的master美国承认么？

谢谢哦！！

there are 3 kinds of degrees most law school's offer

if you have a law master in China, you probably will want a LLM instead of JD, because although

Juris Doctor (Latin for "Doctor of Law") or J.D. is a degree in law offered by universities in a number of countries. It is considered a first professional degree as one of the main purposes of the degree is to provide the professional training for those who wish to become lawyers. Some U.S. law schools award the first professional degree in law using the English terms Doctor of Law or Doctor of Jurisprudence rather than the Latin term Juris Doctor.

you dont have to be a law undergrad to be a JD student.

but the US probably will not recongnize your master of law as a JD of US. that u'd probably have to ask LSAC.

十分感谢

……看来还是得好好斟酌一下了，本来找了些资料下决心直接考JD，感觉工作会好找一点

如果要读LLM，LSAT也不用考了，只是回报应该会差点吧，呵呵
