  • The United States is known for having a well-established system of law which aims to focus the students on specialised areas. It means that if you are looking to deepen your legal expertise in Criminal Law, pursuing your LLM in the USA could be a good option especially after completing your BA LLB from India.

    An LLM for a reputed university in the US adds value to one's credentials as it increases the chances of landing international law jobs in areas like multi-national firms, NGOs and academic positions. For instance, huge retailers like Wal Mart that have branches around the globe need international lawyers in the company.
