About to America reading law

9 months when the American lawyer?
To the aesthetic law Why & How!
Speaker: Li Taida
One, setting goals:
Why do you want to go abroad? Liu can bring me what?
　　
"(1) returned to practice
"JD - Bar - Exam
LLM - "(2) U.S. practice
"SJD -- > (3) academic research and teaching
above the icon, can show the U. S. general process and. Taiwanese to American, basically from L
LM (Master of law) began to read, as long as 9 months to get a degree, but the drawback is that the time is too short, just started to
Understand USA method will have graduated. However, although the time is short, but because the choice of America people abroad
Usually don't have to cover for academic research, legal in Taiwan if you want to study abroad, can also choose to Germany and Japan
. But if you want to learn practical things to facilitate the employment, America obviously is a good choice.
Basically to reach this goal, a pressing matter of the moment is to set a goal, you must first know why your goals
, school is also follow the goal. Of course, LLM students basically is not by the school when off, if
Just want to mixed diploma to back a bit more "bargaining" space, there is.
In short, the United States is nothing more than two purposes: one is practice, two is academic, of course all the scholars will be less,
Therefore, to introduce the practice development as a priority:
One, engaged in practice:
(a) to return to work (LLM or JD):
1. strengthen the professional legal domain specific knowledge: if the future to go back to work in Taiwan, suggests that in any case a license than
Relatively stable. The best choice is to get the license has been in the country, and set the future direction of practice before going abroad, than
More know where to go to a field. As for the USA license in China are not? This is admit of no doubt, but than
It is the degree of difference, because going to the USA read 9 months degree return uneven, and lawyers
The boss is a connoisseur, impossible to conclude that high degree alone, so will the interview, ask a few English
Do not answer them, or ask you to find and America related regulations and cases there is no way, could be identified as not
The basic function is to study abroad.
　
But if you choose to return to work, have America license or not in the trust degree of course there will be differences, basically the boss
Will believe you should be is not too bad, can be admitted to America lawyers in a short period of time. Of course, there is no
America lawyer license does not affect too decisive.
If the final choice to return to work, LLM is already enough. If be read JD (Doctor of laws)
It represents the degree program, has been proved, because JD generally take 3 years before they can get, law firm
The boss would be more love for JD graduates, because they are American legal formal training. So LLM and JD students
It is a simple, only taking 20 credits for about 9 months, and the other one is read 3 years and by the orthodox
Training people, believe the choice already be vividly portrayed. However, although the JD degree can increase the bargaining space,
But spending on top of the cost is very high, the future can not earn back. This one because of long time,
May have to spend large sums of money, no economic backing are unable to bear the economic pressure.
Incidentally, if you intend to return to engage in substantive work, SJD (PhD) degree may not be much help
Help, unless read is very commercial field. But this part is to find a firm above help, instead of,
If you read the more popular areas (such as: jurisprudence), for the practical work of the bonus effect can imagine is very
Small.
So, if you want to return to work, suggest to find a specialized field, and use in the United States for a short time the field
Something to read completely, at least in Taiwan and in Anglo American law legal system thought to be different, it is best not to read the invasion
Right, contract law, because it is of no use. If you can specialize in a certain field also does not, such as
: securities, intellectual property, is a practice popular field, which returned to work, have
In order to get a good salary, but strictly speaking, this is a serious lack of talent in Taiwan.
Of course, the above is the ideal step in Taiwan, if not to set goals, will not be able to follow the prescribed order in market development
Direction. Just before setting goals, must learn to return to work after USA, Taiwan by the relatively large impact
The traditional civil law, administrative law is not, but the business aspects of the field of law.
2. enhanced English: foreign USA after returning to work, English of course would be better. And English is of course the scope of business will be good
Comparison of expansion, at least in cases of foreign firms. And if there is no have been studied, even if the lawyer's license, those
Handling foreign-related cases large firms is not easy to enter, even in people will not put such a case
Pay you.
General knowledge of 3. familiar with the American method (especially how to search for relevant information): third goals, to be familiar with
General knowledge America method. But in time, since only a few months, does not suggest to deeply understand the USA a
General knowledge, because the money and the time cost is too high, nor what substantial help to return to work,
Unless it is already in Germany, Japanese law is very familiar with, want to understand the connotation of different legal systems USA; otherwise, i.e.
Make each basic subjects are the repair again, but come back after work, firm will think you learn just legal history
The strongest, cover America is its economic strength, so we are concerned with is not the traditional law. So looking at
Speaking, don't expect in a short time for the common law can have a considerable understanding, but the tools of knowledge but must
Master, that is to say, to learn how to find the needed information. Now the network so developed, if in Taiwan
Bay can find all legal data America, this is very useful for home later. Many people in America for over 9 months, the
The most basic thing but still not. As if Taiwan is American told the 301 terms, then, how to find these in the net
Network is to find the most new cases and material things? In fact, the information in the National Library of our absolute
You can find, just to see if that method. The key must not despise it, because USA law
Data query is not so simple, there are 50 states plus the federal America, a total of 51 sets of laws, so its system
Is very complicated, and because the level too, will let us continental people dead not clear, relevant interpretation, the legal precedent
Is a lot of, read LLM the biggest harvest can be said in this. So while reading a few months there is no way to grasp
The essence of the law, but as long as we understand the encountered problems met, know how to find the answer, even if there is a charge
Won the.
(two) the United States Practice (LLM or JD but a JD superior)
1. : immigration business accounted for the bulk, for foreigners, especially Asians main business U.S. practice, if you want to stay
America, even if only willing to do immigration cases primarily, the opportunity is there, because the traffic is pretty much.
2. business immigration outside: such as international or domestic non business American....... But it is very difficult, as a foreigner, to do shift
High people outside the business is difficult, because the law is a very local knowledge, the most difficult to foreigners is a local
Case. Many foreign students dream to large companies for international business, but this dream is very easy to burst. Even the
English and race is close to America Europeans, their dream is to stay in American money, but even here,
If not JD students is difficult to received the case, even if the JD is also the result before the class is 25%, or have
What great achievements (such as: as a legal editor, in simulation court), big firms will give an interview machine
Meeting. But immigration case can make money, just to do for a long time and there is no way to expand, because want to make money, although very simple, but
Is the business is fixed. So if you want to stay in the USA long practice, it is best to get the JD degree, if only
LLM, most can be continued as immigration business.
Two, to research and teaching: SJD or JSD is the only choice
If you choose to return to teaching, must take the SJD or JSD degree, this degree is equivalent to PhD, because the current teaching
The Ministry of education requirements, to teach, but the doctor to have doctoral thesis, this degree and JD (also translated as JD) not
The difference is that, this degree is mainly for foreigners to read, so even the Americans themselves are rarely SJD, pass
It is often JD, so the Americans could a papers were not written in academic circle, after entering the academic circles
Beginning to write papers. Because of this degree is basically to foreigners to read, to stay in American teaching is also a bit difficult. To
To return to teaching, in addition to their strength enough to the outside, contacts is also very important considerations, not read SJD
After a certain schools can teach.
Second, America legal system
A, master of law (LLM or MCL):
(a) application requirements: have a Law Degree at home or abroad (such as Bachelor of laws), TOFEL score: Americans
The orthodox legal training is three years JD, finish after the JD can read LLM, this is because in the American to get a degree
The relationship can only be read LLM. But the foreigners are usually directly read LLM, because very few people to study abroad is not
With a law degree in any of the. Taiwanese students American are studying LLM more, because have a degree (
Master's or bachelor's degree). Some schools called LLM MCL, in the Ministry of education in China are admitted as a master of law, generally speaking not
Difference.
Application of LLM elements for the TOEFL score, which is better than other subjects people much, don't need to test such as GRE College
Industry English. While the TOEFL is a typical study examination, so you don't have to back a more professional and popular words, as long as the carrier
Fukaode good, in Taiwan, read law degree can apply for the school.
(two) degree requirements: 20~30 credit courses, mostly without writing papers
LLM degree is usually take about 20 credits, usually no more than 30 credits, and the use of 9 months
Complete the credits. LLM mostly do not need to write the paper, so only to write a report, the other is purely elective, principle
Is 9 months completed. But if going to apply for the SJD would need to write a thesis, graduation rate depends on the
How to write a paper speed.
The LLM class and America JD students, the exam together, usually the school will provide a for LLM students
The two course, special requirements for them to repair, these classes usually are foreign students.
American examination is very special, basically is anonymous, the final exam will go to school to lead a group number, not in the exam
The name appears there will only be a number, so the teacher scores do not know who is who.
Theory LMM and JD is a score, but there are exceptions: scores are calculated and some schools is not a LLM JD
Like, for example JD A, B, C grade, D grade, but LLM only Fail and Pass two, if this calculation
So, in fact, is favorable for LLM students, because teachers don't usually when LLM students, so the results must be Pass. No.
Most schools have not so, LLM and JD students with the same score level. However, even if the teacher marks don't know
Who you are, but the school still give the last chance, let the teacher sent scores of Is it right? International students, this is because:
That the teacher could not completely in accordance with the student's answer to score; and the school also does not prohibit the teacher according to the students in class
Performance score, some teachers simply to help LLM students.
But for JD, they and scoring benchmark and has always been more relaxed than LLM is not fair, so JD students
Requests must be scored separately. Like NYU LLM are up to 400, even more than JD students. But in general JD than L
LM students better law degree, LLM students because of the past experience and expertise in a certain field than J
D students to high. Of course, separated from the score to JD students fair, also has the advantage of LLM students, it is not easy to be
. USA schools usually set LLM students as shaking Qian Shu, so the recent LLM students more and more. In addition, Foreign Studies
Students receive more does not affect the teacher-student ratio, results will not affect the ranking of schools. In addition to the "teacher-student ratio", "Graduate School
The average salary is one of the "students ranking criteria, but the JD and LLM are calculated separately, this will not affect the school
Ranking.
(three) degree is usually time: 9 months (from August to next May).
(four):
To obtain a master's degree in America law for 1.9 months, I spent three or four years studying soil master writing: LLM score calculation
Basically the same as JD, but 9 months can get a degree, time is very short, compared to the Taiwan motionless on the 3, 4 years
Write a master's thesis, the time cost is saved a lot, or moreover, ocean master, job hunting is popular a
Point. Basically if not want to engage in academic work, just want to get the diploma of words, so to USA is very cost-effective.
2 qualifying examination law license in New York and California USA: another benefit of LLM can be achieved with USA lawyer
License qualifications, but note that can not every state, allowing Taiwan to LLM students lawyer only California, New York,
But the Taiwan students if you want to test USA lawyer words most of New York, this is because in California to test the lawyers have
Many factors, such as: a few years to graduate, take some courses etc.. Because foreign students more, so in recent years in New York
There is a tendency of decreasing state bar admission rate, New York lawyer qualification examination is very relaxed, even don't get the master's degree
Before, if some of the subjects was when, as long as they can prove that will obtain the degree, still can go to test, but admitted after that
Make no hold over industry, or can it on your name card "USA New York lawyer", but only experts know
Facts. However, the USA local lawyers, not holding industry is useless, even if the performance is still good
Be assigned to do some chores.
3 English progress.
4 enhanced mode and thinking about knowledge of law (with clear target and background is preferred): if in 9 months to learn some knowledge
Knowledge, must be in Taiwan have a little background, such as not to USA intellect intellectual property, at least in Taiwan on the collar
The domain will be some understanding. Although it is a good test American lawyer, but patent lawyer is difficult to do, because I had to go to repair
Close the science class, so people in Taiwan usually read intelligent property rights not to American test patent attorneys, because without it
A knowledge base. As BU is also very famous, it LLM in Banking (banks or financial), go inside won't touch
To what traditional law.
In America study, unavoidable for classes was shocked, because the class is the so-called "Socrates" (i.e. "ask
A "), because the law training America is a student when the lawyer's professional training, few Americans can when the judge, big
Part one is a lawyer, the lawyer to service customers, to meet customer demand, basic training must from it
The two party, to learn, to different directions of attack defense. The German training although case law,
But American have very big difference, because Germany's Wang Zejian like a teacher called case analysis, assuming a case
Sub down after one one to the methodology of jurisprudence to discuss basic claim it. But America after class began by asking the court why
This sentence? Then: "if you are the plaintiff, what would you do that? "," if you are the Lord, how would you
Zhang? "Come in, both the plaintiff or defendant position, answer, the teacher will continue (as the lawyer)
In hot pursuit, finally also not necessarily published "answer". That is the case with lawyers think mode apart, it is not
You know the case "rules" only, but to train "way of thinking", this "does not have the standard answer, but to force
You find the argument of "class method, for the civil law origin, legal system used to domestic students teacher,
It is a great challenge.
However, this exercise in practice can be very helpful, because the lawyer thinking mode is usually the first conclusion (guest
What is the user to? ), then from the conclusion, it is anti dialectic, unlike the academic study is based on the premise, minor premise
By inference, and finally leads to a conclusion.
But don't think American law school not "scholarship", only on the occupation training, in fact America academic
Study on the atmosphere is very abundant, law school in addition to the required courses, there are many interesting, in-depth curriculum. I've been
"The law and education class, but class hardly talked about law, but from theological, pedagogy, sociology,
Of multiculturalism, feminism and so on, finally returned to the law. That kind of training is to get all agency
Will science stuff into the language of the law, one can understand the pure law something outside, but also can it
They are legally available weapons. So some classes but also in the training of the legal person's creativity, from different fields of view
Point to point. Why are you so, a teacher once said: "these sincere words and earnest wishes your lawyer's social
The value of the arbiter, so you should be more than others to understand the "value", so the angle of reflection will be more in-depth
Training, but basically the countries of continental law is compared to the annotation of law, this is not the same with America method. To
In the field of academic study "that is more of a wide variety, colorful, light is the University Law School publishes Science
More than 300 kinds of periodicals, and areas with politics, economics, culture research exchanges, dialogue is very frequent,
A very worthy of our study.
(five):
Must adapt to, in the condition of 1 very short time, and learn legal knowledge enough (do not know their own direction, have
After graduation), the first difficulty lies in the LLM training time is very short, short to also do not know the direction in the future will be
Need to make a choice. If before Taiwan did not collect enough information, go to the American would like a headless pale
Fly like do not know what the busy. In addition to the course timetabling problem, if only a one-year course, it may be met such
The problem. For example, to repair the securities and Exchange Act, usually first revised Company Law and then repair the act is ideal, but the stock
Trading opened in the last semester, the company law in the next semester, this is not a problem for JD students, can the first year next semester
Completed after second years of the company law, the Securities Exchange Act of last semester course. But for LLM students, study period
Only one year, so usually have no way to repair the Securities Exchange Act of classes, such as completing company law next semester, he is ready to return to
The country, unless willing to spend a semester. So before going out must first find out the curriculum arrangement, otherwise it is a
Can not repair to the classes. Of course, if the good foundation, can also skip this part, can ask the school required to repair the securities
Trade law, as long as the degree is good enough, can go to consult with the school have a look, tell them some strength is very good, if the
Subject to their approval, can also be allowed to skip the foundation course, because Americans elastic for learning is great.
2 English listening speaking reading and writing (Socratic teaching, every week hundreds of pages of preview work, writing assignments, the final exam of pages
To dozens of pages of the title).
In addition to law school and a heavy pressure, while LLM didn't like JD student curriculum and the pressure of competition is so big, but for foreigners
It was terrible, if read is JD, it may not. In addition to foreigners, law school
English pressure is also very heavy, because the class using the case method (Casebook), one of the hundreds of pages. Each teacher
The specified case scope must look very broad, it can make the most of the students and teachers spoke with study
Fast or slow, class need and teachers often to ask, even if English strength again good, and Americans do have differences,
For example: the same is the 80 page case did not see, USA students can use at noon time roughly doubled end, as we prepare for
Exam Cram School, as long as the answer is good, but Taiwan students can't see it. "
Word for word and sentence for sentence to read, must be very hard, we can only read 10 pages, left to look the part is no way
The. The English read class completely prevented basically within 9 months, according to each situation is different
Difficulties.
3 tuition is expensive: like Utah's LLM tuition fees for one year more than 8 dollars, is very cheap, but has more than Taiwan or
Is a European much more expensive. But the cheapest place usually is "country", beautiful scenery, not the crowd,
No big department stores, used to live in metropolitan areas were not used, while others as to scenic resort a year,
Is quite good. As for the most expensive to 30000 yuan, plus living expenses, the economic pressure is not big. Urban and rural
A large gap, still have a lot of choice space (but even the "Xiang", its basic public facilities and infrastructure,
Also is much better than Taibei ). In USA practice also is such, from the big city near the high salary, but in
The countryside salary is low, but can enjoy family life.
The 4 crash, for American legal system and culture is in fact a limited understanding: to be honest, 9 months really could not understand American method
Contour, when trying to understand the essence of American method step by step, but I do not know what to say, USA teacher usually recommend
Say two things: early they would recommend to understand the law of contract, because the contract law is a common law tradition; it is now
Suggested the constitution, but American constitutional difficulty quite high, if there is no interest and perseverance, do not recommend this entry,
GEIs contract or legal person is very familiar with the field, but America constitution basically are policies and value judgment, is full of
Many American their own values and cultural values, the foreigner to understand quite difficult. But from another angle, if want to go to
Public law field, or want to have a good understanding of political and social structure America, USA constitution is very, very worth reading.
Two, doctor of laws (JD):
(a): LSAT (Law School for elements of Admission and TOFEL (Test) is the most foreign students
Read the LLM to read JD, but not essential)
JD is the legal training American orthodox, take the LSAT test before entering, but most of the international students usually go to read LL
M, wait until the English better to apply for JD, because LSAT is very difficult to test, even harder than GRE. But even if the finished LLM to
JD is also very difficult to read, because going to JD in January to start application, LSAT scores at this time to be out, but LLM students that
While courses, no extra effort to prepare for the LSAT exam. So if most people want to read JD word
A little late, finished after LLM years to apply again. Generally speaking, the application of JD school and LLM are the same, LSAT only
The minimum standard to conform to the school, there may be received, but the results can not be too bad, because once a JD student
Later, grades and school rankings, many school cares.
(two) degree of more than 80 elements: Practice Credits
Because America Lawyers Association (ABA) requires some credit hours to admit this degree, and if the degree not to be A
BA admits that it is a very serious, there is no way to apply for a lawyer, usually at least 80 credits.
(three) duration: 3 years, without writing papers
Usually the most tired is the first year, because the basic courses are usually in the first year, and almost all of them have an exam. JD students in the
Second, three years after the work is read and related subjects, unlike our students graduated in the last two years will go
For the bar exam, but in the 2 months before the exam began to prepare. JD students in the first year after completing decide
Direction, in the second years after the course will change direction, as for a job interview the third grade next semester, etc.
After the graduation exam began practicing lawyer. All these are connected well, so America students generally war
Fighting force is strong, because they would not spend time on the test. After graduation students the best results are usually to the public
Department of Justice (in-house), when the salary bonus will, or to the large firms to start from the grassroots level. To open their own things
Serving people is usually not the best grades, to the "big" mechanism (a large corporation or firm) who is not
To start his own business, this gap is very big to the ecological Taiwan. Also, the best people, into the commercial system
First, it may be one to two years of judge assistant. In USA judge position than Taiwan noble, even when a
Judge assistant, are of great help to the future (law school professors are mostly used in such and such a judge as
Assistant). In addition, there are some very good young blood, didn't like commercial system, may to the nonprofit sector (
Including government agencies) worked as a civil rights lawyer. This is very interesting, but for most foreign students is not real
When this is not introduced.
(four):
1 orthodox America legal training, have overall understanding of American method.
2. wants to stay in the America practice, the only chance to do business than before: immigrants already mentioned, in the USA practice is
A difficult choice, even for JD students, litigation cases local strong still can't do, because the "litigation
", especially typical civil, criminal, language requirements are too high, can not be like Taiwan by book like it
To engage in a lawsuit, must be very eloquent and quick reaction, coupled with fierce competition (American lawyer pull business sometimes and insurance also Xin
Bitter)...... This is a high wall for foreigners. The second question is: international firm is difficult of access, the Americans
Even want to go to Hongkong, the mainland, Taiwan said Chinese place, may still have their own legal or lawyer to, but
Basically they'd rather find ABC, because they are Americans, English is good, but it is "own people", so to
Choose this road is really difficult, unless it is really very good, but because the length of three years and there is no need to write papers, for not
Good at writing papers is a gospel to those who, JD may also quite Haozhaogongzuo back later.
3 can apply for the bar exam in America any state, unlike the LLM more restrictions.
(five):
1. academic pressure very heavy very hard, much higher than the LLM: the first disadvantage is that the academic pressure is very heavy, may be a term
Examination of several families, and each family may have 6, 700 page books to read, and each term is likely to take 30 credits. Don't forget
Remember the teacher to JD students may not show mercy, unlike LLM, teacher is not difficult (and even some teachers know that you are
International students can ask questions, not you). Another point is, LLM courses cannot be used the same course grades JD
Because the standard score, the teacher is not necessarily the same, if allowed to LLM scores to count, usually scores are very high, but the
Other JD students is not fair; and the school to make money, nature is more better hope repair course. But there are a few years
With the exception of schools, but the condition is very strict, very not easy to meet.
2. is expensive, heavy burden: this no more, think of a flower how much money in LLM, about 3 times as
Can know a total of how much money should be prepared.
3 a long time.
Three, doctor of laws (SJD or JSD)
(a) the application documents:
1. LLM degree (usually to the school, but there are exceptions): think of American read SJD or JSD, "in" this is
High, because SJD is similar to PhD, is a doctoral candidate in later stage, to finish the paper, through the interview to
Enough to get a degree, the school expectation is that the students "have" to do academic research English and write a doctoral theory
In this paper, it can't wait until you're in the PhD, to teach you how to study. But want to receive SJD students from schools
Policy, some schools are willing to accept their own school LLM, so if you want to read a school SJD, have in their school
The school read LLM. Simply put, if not in their school read LLM, school how do we know that you have the ability to write papers
? Of course, some schools will accept his school LLM, but is the exception.
The 2. master's thesis or other research results: but if apply directly to SJD LLM, on behalf of the LLM within 9 months to write
The master's thesis, or other can replace the master's thesis research. But because of the short time to write the paper
In the difficult, most LLM students, had probably never written an academic report (Taiwan's legal system, in the
Before the master class, format and research method to write a report on students, usually require very low), in my observation, in the United States
Country within a year can apply for entry into the SJD , mostly attended a master's degree in the country, it's not that Americans admit
Foreign masters, but read the person, usually for "research" seize the direction of comparison.
3. PhD thesis research plan and agree with Professor: before applying to the SJD, the school will request the next Dr.
The research program, mainly on the basis of a review. This time is very tight, pressure is very great, just to think of beauty
In less than a year (usually the first semester winter after almost apply), everything is still in the dark, you want to write. "
Doctoral program! America unlike Taiwan entered the Institute, professor and then slowly teach how to write papers, but to
For now has the ability to write thesis. In addition, another problem is to find a good advisor, Professor America does not see
Much like the SJD, because the teacher is in principle individual combat, Taiwan is not the teacher likes the graduate assistant, also
Almost no research produce fruit take forcible possession of "misdeeds".
According to the above reasons, American received SJD of the school, although the increase, but only 20 or so, than the good of hundreds of
The University, this number is very few.
(two) study and graduation: SJD the length of time is not necessarily a period, as long as the doctoral dissertation by oral and written
Then, as the need for additional courses, depending on the circumstances, although some provisions within 5 years to graduate (such as Columb
IA Law School), but some did not limit, because no graduate life, so it makes people easy lazy.
(three):
1 Department of education that is equivalent to PhD, so it can be engaged in teaching.
2 specific areas of law in.
3 have the academic research ability.
(four) limited:
1 specialized and narrow field of study, the practical benefit co..
2 faculty, job is not easy.
3 no orders mushroom? No deep strong interest in academic terms).
Ginseng, America bar exam situation
A, New York and California to allow LLM or LLM candidates enter oneself for an examination.
But in fact the international students to take the New York state, the state must have JD degree to enter oneself for an examination.
Two, the state acceptance rates are far higher than Taiwan: New York and California is the lowest in the state, but also more than 60%,
If JD students is generally not possible to first pass, for example, in 2000 July test, New York
The rate is 67%, the first examination proportion is higher, because all JD students. The examination second times to LLM students
Mostly, because the LLM quality is uneven, and there are many foreigners and the acceptance rate is relatively low, so the.
As for the California 2000 July admission rate of only 55%, the first test of the people through the ratio is 66.9%, but the California admission rate
Relatively low and not because the exam is difficult, but because California law school students too much!
Three, the first year LLM students can be admitted to the proportion is not high: LLM students first enter rate is very low, mainly
Because the bar exam to test 10 subjects, LLM only read 9 months, can not repair ten department, but if you want to test subjects no repair
Too, just cram school lectures or through the very difficult. States generally a year to do two times the bar exam the first time, so no no
Need to wait another year, although admitted their lawyers rate is high, but LLM and not too big relations, JD is unlikely to
Pass.
Four, JD students after graduation, usually cram two months: American most to test the lawyers who have tutorial,
For a period of two months at a time. American school cram schools and school cooperative education is very close, the school closed after, in a few days
Cram to get into the campus teaching. If foreigners don't state bar, it is necessary to go to the stop state to the class, you can find a few
People together in the past, or listen to the tape, read teaching videos, but can not be bootlegging, cram school sent to monitor, each
A listen to tapes or watch video tapes are to be specified in the classroom, often listen to the tape price is $2000,
That need to NT $6, 70000.
Five, are examples of questions, no single cheat: USA bar exam is an example, finally will have a very clear
Answer (unlike Taiwan is like a controversial subject), the teacher will not "own" or \ too controversial
Because of this unique insights into the solution, for students is not fair, may cause the results, if the test does not
When, may wait for the accused, so is the court verdict was in use (especially the Federal Supreme Court)
At present, did not dispute the rule, the examination will be out. Therefore, archaeological problems is very important, although still not good for foreigners, but
If it is, is certainly no problem (just "times" problem, this is because) they have questions
A rule. As the civil law of Germany the acceptance rate is very high, the first exam admission rate was 7, 80%, are also considered
When high (refer to table "Germany Cai overseas experience"), so for these countries, they are very difficult to imagine asia
This low rate of admission system.
Fourth, development
One, engaged in practice:
(a) to return to work (LLM or JD): if the decision to return to work, to enrich the legal domain specific knowledge is very heavy
To, Qin Xian brain don't want to learn knowledge in general, Ben Xu Guo Bei he dare kill Ju said Ding 5 mi / non efficiency bearing? Fixed field, it is possible to expand the scope of business, litigation is no longer limited to local, and can be engaged in the country
Legal affairs international. Can also choose legal work, the domestic large enterprises still need to have the treatment of mergers and acquisitions, financial cases
Talent, but the talent is not much, because the domestic education besides the law itself, and no training multi
Legal professional ability, if you go to the America words, their education is in the training of the talents.
(two) the United States Practice (LLM or JD but a JD superior): as mentioned before, the United States immigration practice can do business
If you want to do, but immigration outside the business, JD can be said to be the basic elements, otherwise impossible to find any ideal job
. Incidentally, since Taiwan's accession to the WTO, America lawyers to perform international legal business, but international law
Scope of business of the law "is very vague, so the fact that you can practice range very widely. But according to the law, to
USA after practicing for 5 years before they can come to Taiwan to practice, otherwise only when the company law or consultant, can not appear in court. However
As previously mentioned, in fact, Americans do not think that lawyers have to do business litigation, usually in the treatment of non Industry Company
Wu is the golden rice bowl.
Two, to research and teaching: to choose to teach and apply to read SJD also considerable risks, especially now our frozen
Education budget, public schools can't hire new faculty; plus academic competition is very fierce, "expertise
Domain "," academic power "and" personal "are equally important, indispensable, so select this option, the risk is very
Big.
Wu, school to apply for the matters needing attention
A, US News ranking (reference value Co.): apply to schools can look at the University in US News USA row
Name, if applying to schools in the top 10, the future will be easier to find a job, if in the future to return to Taiwan, for 10
The name of the school also might help.
But the ranking is not so absolute, basically USA each University School of law, even if is ranked in the top tier schools, will tell
Know the ranking on the students themselves is reference significance. Their schools are ranked according to the input and output, the so-called "input
"Refers to the school JD students LSAT scores and admission rate, so taking a school students less, threshold high, ranking
Is the front, as Yale has won the Harvard, because Yale does not accept student more; "output" refers to the bi
Business students can earn much money. But these two and international students do not have what relation, because these are based on JD theory
Born as the calculating unit, if in the future to return to work, the salary will naturally not counted (national salary is not a, difficult to compute
). So, if you choose to go back to work in Taiwan, the top 80 schools are still can choose, because although ranking looks after the
Surface, these schools is still better than most of the Taiwan school much, because USA academic and teaching level is very high, but the law
Law resources are extremely rich, this is far less than the Taiwan.
Two, price: To study price is realistic problem, particularly in the JD, read 3 years is not a penny, absolutely be satisfied
Into consideration.
Three, new courses and curriculum: curriculum and set goals related, even if the school has several teacher this
More powerful, but they do not necessarily have to read the course, the best way to look.
Four, teachers and equipment: teachers may want to read the school who ask to be clear, as for equipment basically didn't ask
Questions, each university has academic research equipment, students with WESTLAW can be downloaded for free American any period
Papers, that is to say, directly from the network down into word files, not to mention the regulations and cases, at any
The school network can be found on the inside.
Five, to the international student's attitude: if regardless of rank, usually the more big city school teachers will be major suit, the more
The countryside school teacher-student relationship will be more harmonious. Like NYU, Harvard, most of the teachers a week only a small
When office hour, let all the students find his discussion, other times not the shadow of a human figure or don't want to see people; Univ of
Michigan-Ann Arbor is elite, but the relationship between teachers and students heavily class, students all the e-mail are to be made by the Secretary General
Generation of transgenic; but like University of Virginia although Top 10 elite, because not in a big city, the relationship between teachers and students
It is good; and as the Indiana University also in the non urban area, the professors of foreign affairs, law school students
To find the teacher is very easy, but also the teacher often can chat with students in the last hour, and even the teachers for the international
The student special offer free, additional review course, a semester two or three classes, in order to avoid international students can not keep up the progress
If the class in this place, you will feel happy. Of course, "teacher-student relationship" for most Asian students not
The problem, because the Asian students didn't like actively looking for teachers to discuss the issue, but it is a pity, because with the teacher in private
Then, the harvest of no less than class content, this influence is different between urban and rural areas, and of course there are state folk to foreign
People are not nice...... This information is not in fact a good master, before applying the best ask read these schools
Senior.
* Master B (Bachelor of Laws degree after) please note: Although New York can only open to LLM degree applicants lawyer
, but will still review applicants at home "the first law degree" and "credits" or "equivalent" (usually JD
USA of the law school JD are more than 80 credits), that is to say, if in Taiwan read the master class B, and your required
Graduate credit does not reach the standard, so although you can to USA direct attack LLM, but can not apply for the New York state bar!
The University of the Taiwan legal system should be built more than 128 credits, to the question of law graduate students and groups
In response, will be recognized as "the equivalent of JD".
