Is there anyway for someone with a Juris Doctor to work as a paralegal and have a firm fund an L.L.M.?


Would like to pursue my L.L.M. from a top-tier school but I have too much debt from law school.

Are you licensed to practice law or do you just have your J.D.? I doubt you'll be able to find one to fund it because if you're not licensed to practice law, they will think it (the LLM) is a waste of their money because they're not going to get its worth from you.

Plus, would they be able to have a contract stating that you will be at that firm for so many years so they can recoup their cost?

And what would the LLM be worth to them if you don't stay? What is a LLM worth to you? Isn't it supposed to open up other job opportunities? And, if so, doesn't that defeat the purpose of the law firm paying for it?
