I noticed many international students doing JD at top US law school (top 15), earned a master at a top US uni before applying to US law schools. Why is this? Is having a US credential at the time of application THAT important?

<p>I doubt it’s that important. I haven’t noticed this.</p>

also, is work experience at a law firm absolutely essential?

<p>Not at all.</p>
