Which degree is better for lawyers: a LL. M. or an MBA?

That depends upon what do you want to do with your career! LLM, is a Master of Laws programme - and can only be pursued after one has already obtained their Graduation in LAW LL.B. It is designed to dive deeper into the history and academic side of law than a student is typically exposed to during their graduation programme. Generally, these programs focus in on a one stream of the law and provide an in-depth programme around that area (such as Criminal law, taxation, Maritime, immigration laws etc. ). Graduates of these programs generally go into teaching and academic roles. MBA on other hand is a Masters of Business Administration; it is an advanced degree offered by many business schools, usually any graduate programme can be precursor to MBA. It often has many different specializations within the programme. The purpose for these degrees is to enhance a student's understanding of how to run an effective business, improve the efficiency of work flow in the organizations in all the functions, decision making and team building. Many join the degree immediately after their graduation, while some work for 2 to 3 yeas and then take it up to plug tier holes in the skill sets, but someone who already has an advanced degree and/or any significant amount of work experience, an MBA is much more of a networking exercise than it is truly an educational experience. So the choice is yours! But whatever you do out of these two, make sure you do it from top universities/ colleges. Some good B-Schools are: Iims, XLRI, FMS Delhi, XIM, Great lakes, ISB, SIBM, UBS Chandigarh, LPU etc. Some good Law schools: All NLUs, NALSAR, PU, DU, Jindal University and LPU etc. I hope this helps.
