[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 133003, member: 2672"] Academic law and law in practice are very different - I don’t think an LLM will make your profile more appealing. Most graduate recruiters in the U.K. will tell you to only do an LLM if you want to personally do it, not to try and impress them. Given you also already have an LLM there could be a question as to why you are doing another one. Your French universities are prestigious enough, LSE is not going to make your profile more so. Living in the U.K. for a year might help show more of a commitment to the U.K. and also give the recruiter some reassurances that you will be happy living in London (often a concern when applicants have no connection to the City), but I think committing to an LLM is an exceptionally expensive and long winded way of showing that when you could just invest a bit of time into the application process in explaining this.
