Hi all, im only going to be starting law school next year (at where else but Michigan, as my name implies), and I was just wondering what the point of an LLM was. I certainly would like to do legal research stuff, as well as maybe somewhere down the line teach at a law school (though I guess my chances are slim, as I go to "lowly" Michigan and not harvard or yale). Do I need an LLM to do this? Or are LLM's generally used to "offset" lower ranked schools? Is it worth it only to do a LLM at a more prestigious school, like HYS? Any input would be great, I am indeed a puzzled 1L to be.
