It's a completely one-sided scam. The law schools get richer, and the LLMs come over here after completing a single year and compete against U.S. students that slaved away for 3 years and are in debt out their butt. Unless there is some reciprocity, e.g., the Netherlands admits me to practice so I can "puff" 'n' "pork" my way to nirvana, this is just another way for the academic elite to continually screw over their U.S. JD students. Enough of this crap already. Say no to hiring LLM students."</b><br /><br />I've pointed out before, this is bullshit. The US employs no more foreign lawyers than most developed countries do. Foreign LLMs actually have a very low chance of getting a job in the US after graduation - around about 10-20%.
