Details are as follows:
1. Master of Laws (JM) is limited to non-law majors, and no specific majors are divided. Its knowledge structure is broad caliber, thick foundation and compound. Mainly for judicial organs, administrative law enforcement, legal services and legal supervision departments, social public management departments and enterprise management departments to train high-level compound and applied legal talents, such as lawyers, judges, prosecutors, corporate legal consultants, etc.
2.LLM students mainly recruit undergraduates majoring in law, which are divided into legal theory, legal history, constitutional law and administrative law, criminal law, civil and commercial law, procedural law, economic law, international law, etc., focusing on academic research and scientific research teaching, and cultivating advanced theoretical academic legal talents to universities and research institutes.
3. Examination content: In 2000, the national entrance examination was tried out. In 2003, the initial test subjects of LLM entrance examination were changed from five to four, including political theory and law, foreign languages, comprehensive basic courses (including constitution, basic theory of law, history of Chinese legal system) and professional basic courses (including civil law and criminal law). At present, there are only two national entrance exams, legal integration and English.
4. Examination time:

7. The differences between LLM and LLM are as follows:
First of all, the training objectives are different:
The professional degree of master of law and the master of law are at the same level, each with its own emphasis. The former is an applied and compound senior legal talent, while the latter is an academic and professional senior legal talent.
Second, the enrollment conditions are different:
The master of law requires illegal graduates, but the master of law has no such restrictions.
That is, 13 the law majors that are not allowed to apply for master of law are: law, economic law, international law, international economic law, labor reform law, commercial law, notarization, legal affairs, administrative law, lawyers, foreign-related economy and law, intellectual property law and criminal law.
Third, the way of enrollment proposition, the difficulty of examination questions and the difficulty of examination are different:
Both LLM and LLM postgraduate entrance examinations take part in the national unified examination, but the professional course LLM is a national joint examination (unified proposition and unified marking), and LLM is a conditional independent proposition in colleges and universities.
It is obvious to all that the examination difficulty of the master of laws course. LLM professional course examination is a national joint examination subject, which has a unified outline and forms a standardized review textbook with limited difficulty.
LLM candidates have not studied law before the exam and stand on the same starting line. Because many candidates don't understand, as a new thing, the current admission score is relatively low and they can be admitted to the national line. There is little difference between the admission scores of prestigious schools and the national line, and the admission ratio is high, and the pressure of admission competition is small. However, LLM candidates are mostly law majors, and the competition pressure is great. The admission rate of famous schools is as high as 1/20-50.
However, with more and more people with lofty ideals who are not majoring in law joining the legal profession, it is more and more difficult to take the postgraduate entrance examination for master of law!
Fourth, different ways of education:
Master of Laws has a fixed tutor when he enters the school, and his major division of labor is fine. Generally, he only studies in one direction, and his research is deeply developed. Master of law, regardless of major, focuses on studying current laws and regulations and pays attention to practical application after enrollment. After enrollment, only tutors are set up, and each tutor takes more students.
For illegal students, it is not conducive to their own development if they choose a fine professional direction from the beginning of studying law, so the difference between the two educational methods depends on the starting point and background of the candidates, not the main difference.
5. The future employment scenario and development potential are slightly different:
LLM has a much wider range of employment than LLM. In addition to LLM's employment scope, LLM also trains comprehensive management talents for enterprise management. In legal practice, LLM, because of its interdisciplinary background, is more likely to play its professional advantages and become an expert in a certain field. In law teaching and research, studying for a doctorate is the only way. Because of other professional background, LLM can combine the professional characteristics of its research field, which seems to be perfect.
