In the States, a JD is the degree of choice for employers. However, for those coming from the UK or Canada, sometimes an LLB is allowed given the the job applicant has already passed the bar. I know there is a stigma however for those with an LLB versus a JD and, because of that, a number of applicants opt for programs that offer the JD instead-- like UCB or McGill I believe. I would weigh these options well, as you do want to guarantee the best possible job prospects for practicing here-- you will be hardpressed to begin with without the networking and recruiting that state-side schools get, especially those in the t-14. So think of it carefully, good luck!
