UCL Acceptance

There is a megathread for applicants here where you can talk to other applicants and potentially offer holders: https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7400245

In terms of law after UCL in the US, bear in mind law is necessarily jurisidictional and thus too are law degrees. You would be learning English law in an LLB at UCL, not American law - and they are different. I think there are only a couple places in the US where you can take the Bar exam and be admitted to the Bar without taking any kind of legal qualification in the US from an accredited college there (I think DC and California do). There are quite a few which will allow you to take the Bar exam and be admitted to the Bar after doing some kind of equivalence/conversion scheme (exact details seem to vary state to state), this is usually less than a full JD in the US. Although I think a few states do require a US JD in any event. You'll really need to see what the requirements are for the state you wish to be admitted to the Bar in. Obviously plenty of non-legal options as well.

I gather also the style of teaching in UK LLB programmes and US JD programmes is different although I can't comment on that personally - I think I read something a few years ago saying that in the UK it's much less discussion based/less socratic method type teaching. But this may be historic or just specific to one or two programmes on either side!

Thank you so much!! Ultimately, I am looking to pursuing a career in international law but am aware that getting to that point requires a lot of experience. Would an LLB from UCL prepare me for international law, beyond just English law? Or at least, would an LLB degree from UCL help me in gaining admission to a prestigious law school in the US where I can pursue a JD (such as Harvard, Columbia, Yale etc)? I know I have no desire as of now to permanently relocate to the UK but was hoping I can still gain benefits from a law degree from UCL in my American education.
At the very least, I hope that I can speed up the process of practicing law through a 3 year LLB and 3 year JD before taking the BAR as opposed to a 4 year bachelors degree in the US prior to a 3 year JD. Thanks so much for any advice you have, it's so difficult to find someone to ask about such a specific topic like this one!!
