“LLM” is not the degree you can seek unless you have already graduated from a law school, i.e. LLM is a master’s program for those who have already gone through law school.

Work experience is not necessarily vital for admission to law school but a number of law schools specifically favor admitting those with some work experience after college and others weigh it as a favorable factor.

If what you are asking about is an LLM program and you are a international who does not have a US law degree but have your country’s legal training, then work experience can be a factor.
