Studying law in the US & UK

AnonymousLLB 17 Jul 2013, 14:12

Hi everyone!

I am an aspiring lawyer currently in Grade 12 contemplating on my options to study law in India and Abroad. My question was that is it worth it to go abroad to a good Bar Council accredited University in the US & UK such as Georgetown University, University of Pennsylvania, King’s College, University College etc. and get my law education from there if my eventual aim is to practice in India only? I am asking this question because I will have to take a considerably large loan to go abroad to study and need to know if this investment will pay off in the future. I am also going to do an LLM and an MBA after my undergraduate law education. (BA + LLB in UK or BA + JD in USA). I wanted to get an estimate of what salary I could be getting possibly after graduating from a top tier UK or US law school as that could really help me in planning my loan. Thanks a lot guys! :)

Yes, University of Pennsylvania is the best University Bar Council.
