An Important Simple Overview On The Topic Of » Employment Law Europe
Law degree from a 4th tier US law school - can I use it in a European job market?
I am a getting a law degree from a lowest (lower than 4th tier) small regional law school in US (ABA approved). I don't want to live in US forever and want to settle in Europe. Is there any chance I could use my 4th tier american JD to find any employment in Europe? Does it have any value there? Could I work in United Nations maybe? Unfortunately, my grades are not stellar (top 50%), but I speak multiple languages.
A JD from a TTTT law school with a low GPA is not going to help you find employment in Europe. As you probably already know, you will not be qualified for admission to practice law in any European country with a U.S. JD. To the extent there are positions in the UN that require a JD with your credentials you are going to be put at the bottom of the list of candidates if you are even put on the list at all, which makes the prospects of being hired by an employer like the UN based on your JD very low. The only way your JD might help in this situation is if you can get hired in the United States as a lawyer and build up some strong work experience on your resume relevant to whatever job for which the UN is seeking JD degree holders.
