What you want is your Juris Doctorate as this is what is required for admission to the bar (USA).
If you want to specialize in a particular area of the law, then you may want your Master of Laws as a post J.D. degree.
Generally speaking, it's 4 years for your Bachelors and 3 more years for your J.D.

A person who wants to apply to law school needs a bachelor's, or undergraduate, degree. An undergraduate degree holder who wants to continue his education could apply to law school, medical school, business school, or any number of other graduate-level (certificate, master's, or doctorate) programs, depending on his interests and qualifications. In addition to a J.D., or Juris Doctorate, some law schools offer an LL.M., or Master of Laws, which is usually a one-year program in a specific field of law, such as tax law or environmental law. Usually this program would be completed, if at all, after the student has earned his J.D. Of course, this information is true for the U.S., but each country has its own laws and qualifications. Hope that helped.

Are you talking about an LLM? Or doing a joint degree like a JD/MBA?
Some law schools offer both a JD and an LLM, though there are not as many that have an LLM program to follow after you graduate with the JD. Harvard offers both a JD and LLM program though.
If you find a school that offers both, you shouldn't have a problem doing the entire program there (assuming, of course, they accept you). Going to a different school for your masters isn't generally held against you.

Sexy love, I'm thinking Harvard ain't in your future. Get your degress somewhere else.
