Master of Corporate Law?

What are the grad studies related to law that a finance undergrad can pursue?

For example I've seen on linkedin a guy with master of corporate law. He did an MBA at Harvard after, which flagged me he might have gotten in under very particular circumstances.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Just no. The only exception is if you get a JD and you want to get an LLM to practice law in a specific area or teach. Undergrads shouldn't study law. If you want to do law you will get a lot more mileage out of taking philosophy, political science, and economics courses. Or any courses that teach you how to think/write for that matter. Then get a smoking GPA and beast the LSAT and hello Tier 1 law!

Although law is still one of the more difficult paths to finance. As opposed to just getting an MBA from a T15 and going straight into banking. But seriously, non JD law programs are usually just money-making programs meant to snag the few poor saps dumb/bored/trust-funded enough to think they are worth the money/time.

The last act is tragic, however happy all the rest of the play is; at the last a little earth is thrown upon our head, and that is the end for ever.
 

great advice, however from my experience any stem major with equivalent gpa will be chosen over any soc sci grad.

Although law is still one of the more *difficult* paths to finance. As opposed to just getting an MBA from a T15 and going straight into banking.

If the glove don't fit, you must acquit!
