how is a JD different from an LLM?

Answer 1

THE LL.M. DESIGNATION INSTANTLY DISTINGUISHES YOU as a member of an elite group of lawyers who have acquired in-depth insight and understanding about a specific area of the law.

ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT, AND NATURAL RESOURCES LAW. Houston is the energy capital of the world, and the use of energy and natural resources are affected by numerous environmental laws and policies. The UH Law Center’s focus on energy, environment, and natural resources law has earned an international reputation as a center for research and teaching.

HEALTH LAW. UH Law Center’s Health Law & Policy Institute is consistently considered among the top health law programs in the United States. The Institute governs the LL.M. program in health law and stresses interdisciplinary studies in all areas of health law and policy.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY & INFORMATION LAW. UH Law Center’s Institute for Intellectual Property & Information Law enjoys a national reputation and offers opportunities for study and research on topics that include patent, trademark, copyright, trade secrets, and interdisciplinary legal protection for computer hardware and software.

INTERNATIONAL LAW. Houston’s international presence is considerable—and UH Law Center’s LL.M. program in international law capitalizes on it. Our program provides students with an in-depth understanding of international and comparative law and their roles in our domestic legal process.

TAX LAW. UH Law Center’s LL.M. tax program teaches tax policy frameworks, instills the practical business applications of these tax concepts, and enhances each student’s ability to deal with the complexities of the ever-changing federal tax rules.

JD is a dual degree program:

Dual Degree Programs
Dual degree programs are available at the UH Law Center, allowing students to earn two degrees in less time than it would take to complete them sequentially. Students interested in pursuing this option must make separate application to the UH Law Center and to the desired program. Degrees that can be combined with a J.D. include:

Master of Business Administration at UH

* The Law Center and the UH Bauer College of Business offer a dual J.D./M.B.A. program that prepares students for a wide range of careers where law and business overlap. This program holds special appeal for students directed toward investment banking, accounting, international trade, industrial relations, corporate law, the entertainment industry and management consulting.

Master of Arts in History at UH

* Disciplines of history and law are combined in a dual J.D./M.A. program administered through the UH Law Center and the UH Department of History. The curriculum combines legal theory and practical training with graduate work in legal and constitutional history. Students enrolled at the UH Law Center who are successfully pursuing legal studies are eligible to apply for admission to the program during their first or second year in law school.

Master of Social Work at UH

* Students wishing to combine a masters of social work and a law degree can earn a concurrent degree in the J.D/M.S.W. program.
Master of Public Health at the University of Texas School of Public Health

* A concurrent J.D./M.P.H. program is offered in conjunction with the University of Texas School of Public Health. Students can earn a J.D. and a Master of Public Health degree in four years of full time study - one year less than it would take to earn the degrees sequentially.

Doctor of Philosophy in Medical Humanities at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston

* The Health Law and Policy Institute administers a concurrent J.D./Ph.D. program in conjunction with The Institute for Medical Humanities at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. Students can receive both a J.D. and a doctorate in medical humanities in five to six years.

Doctor of Philosophy in Criminal Justice at Sam Houston State University

* The UH Law Center and Sam Houston State University administer a concurrent J.D./Ph.D. program in Criminal Justice. Students can receive both their law degree and their doctorate in five to six years.

Medical Doctorate at Baylor College of Medicine

* The UH Law Center, in conjunction with the Baylor College of Medicine, now offers students the opportunity to jointly obtain both a law (J.D.) degree and a medical doctorate (M.D.) degree. A student earns both degrees in six years of full-time study, one year less than it would take to complete the degrees separately. This extraordinary educational program highlights the relationship between law and medicine and provides students an important enrichment in their interdisciplinary studies. Students in this program attend their first, second, and fifth years of study at the Baylor College of Medicine, begin their law school curriculum during their third and fourth years, and complete both degrees in their sixth year.

Answer 2

A JD is your basic law degree- Juris Doctor, I don't know what a JSD is, but an LLM is an advanced law degree - higher than a JD. A regular law degree was called a LLB - Bachelor of Laws, and the masters of law was an LLM. In order to practice law you need to have a JD to sit for the state's Bar exam. Now of course there are ABA schools and non ABA schools to add to the fun of the alphabet soup.

Well, Derrick spammed you with his blatant advertisement for UH Law. Did he really answer your question?

The Juris Doctor (JD) degree used to be known as the Bachelor of Laws (LLB) and is the entry degree for an attorney to join the profession. It's a generalist degree, containing courses from a wide variety of legal topics. It's designed to enable you to pass the bar exam and be licensed to practice law. It typically requires about 90 semester hours of coursework. Because it takes about three years and equivalent study to other doctoral programs, the American Bar Association changed the degree designation about 35 years ago to Juris Doctor.

The LLM is the Master of Laws degree and is where you enter some specialty field of law as mentioned in the spam above. An LLM is often 35-45 semester hours of study. Most LLM programs require the JD for admission to the program.

Law is the only field I can think of in which a Master's is more advanced than a Doctoral degree, so it can be confusing. You see above how it happened, though.
