The Master of Laws (LL.M.) is generally considered an advanced, postgraduate law degree rather than a terminal degree. While it provides specialized legal knowledge and can enhance career opportunities, it is not the highest possible degree in law; that distinction typically goes to the Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D. or J.S.D.). Therefore, while the LL.M. is highly regarded, it does not serve as the final academic qualification in the field of law.
I think the JD is a first degree. It is a three year first law degree just as in Europe and Canada. The only difference is that most holders of a JD in the USA would have had a first degree in another discipline, sometimes completely unrelated to law. The LLM and SJD are terminal degree for JD.
By Shdsuper:I mean for example,one has got all the credits needed to get an LLM degree,and he has high marks of LSAT,can he apply to transfer to the JD program as a second year law school student?
No, you cannot study LLM without an LLB. LLM is a postgraduate law program that requires a completed LLB degree as eligibility. Without an LLB, you are not allowed to enroll in an LLM course. Alternative: Non-law graduates can pursue PG diplomas or master’s programs in related legal fields, but a full LLM requires an LLB first. For example, CPJ College, affiliated with GGSIPU, offers LLB programs that prepare students to pursue LLM later.

To obtain a Master of Laws (LLM) degree with a focus on nursing, one typically needs to hold a law degree (JD or equivalent) and may pursue specialized coursework or research related to healthcare law, ethics, and policy that impacts nursing practice. An LLM can enhance a nurse's understanding of legal issues in healthcare, including patient rights, malpractice, regulatory compliance, and healthcare policy, thus equipping them to address legal challenges in their field. This advanced legal knowledge can also open opportunities for roles in healthcare administration, policy-making, or legal consulting within nursing and healthcare organizations.
An LLM (Master of Laws) is an advanced legal degree that can enhance a lawyer's expertise but does not qualify an individual to practice law independently. To practice law, one typically needs a Juris Doctor (JD) degree and must pass the bar exam in the relevant jurisdiction. However, an LLM can be beneficial for foreign lawyers seeking to understand U.S. law or for those specializing in a specific legal field. In some jurisdictions, an LLM may also provide eligibility for taking the bar exam.
The degree awarded upon graduation from law school is a Doctorate of Jurisprudence. Continuing on, you may obtain an LLM, which is a Masters in the Letters of Law.

J.D. (juris doctor) is the primary one. There is also an LLM (master of laws), which is a degree for someone who already has a law degree. This is either for a foreign attorney seeking a legal degree in the U.S., or for an area of specialty for an American lawyer (such as an LLM in tax law). There are even more advanced degrees such as the LLCM (Master of Comparative Laws) and SJD (Doctor of Juridical Science), but these are rather rare.
