as i know, it is really hard for a LLM graduate to find a job these days, even from top 10 law school.

As i know, some Chinese students do first take LLM, then transfer to JD.

If you are young and don't think one year of time a big deal,  do LLM as warm-up is not a bad idea.

Or you may consider applying to LLM and JD at the same time, to different schools probably, and see the results;

Besides, if you apply to LLM, make sure that transfer from LLM to JD is allowed in that law school, so that the transfer will come easier later.

only few schools allow you to transfer from LLM to JD.

anyway, if you have enough money to support such "expensive" choice---one year LLM & three years JD .

you can do like that............

好象LLM在国内都很难找工作了！北京君合去年好象就不再接受任何LLM。

另外，无论您选择那一条路，您的资金准备好了么？不要指望奖学金.......................

LLM在国内也很难找工作了吗？我正准备申请LLM，虽然在美国不能指望找到什么好工作，心想在国内可能还能派上用场，楼上的朋友这么一说，让我真有些心凉了  

而且还要负担这么重的学费和生活费……  如果是这样的话，岂不是说直接读JD更实在一些了？

如果你本科是读法律加上个LLM，问题不大，但如果只有个LLM，本科不是法律的，那找工作并没什麽优势。不过，如果可能的话，读个JD可进可退。

问题是机会所以的美国法学院录取LLM学生前提就是要你之前有法学本科学位，如果说现在LLM在国外、国内都不好找工作的话，那么肯定就包括了本科学法律的LLM学生了。 这样说来，本科是否学法律在LLM找工作中能起什么样的作用或者能起多大作用呢？
