Thank you for your email. Unfortunately it is not possible to transfer from an LLM Program to our J.D. Program. All applicants to the J.D. program are considered for admission by the standard process. Harvard Law School does not offer any advanced standing, nor do we grant credit towards a J.D. from undergraduate classes.
Thank you for your interest in Harvard Law School.
Sincerely,
J.D. Admissions
另外,纽约大学貌似也属于此例。兹引用回信:LLM students at ABA-approved law schools and/or foreign attorneys who hold LLM degrees from ABA-approved law schools, may not transfer into nor gain any advanced standing in NYU School of Law's JD program. If interested in JD study at NYU School of Law, they must apply to and, if admitted, enroll in and complete the full three-year JD program. This includes LLM students enrolled at, and LLM graduates of, NYU School of Law. 没有专门说纽大LLM怎么对待,但字面意思显然是不例外。有兴趣的可以去查证一下。
Thank you for your interest in Columbia Law School.
For those who have earned an LL.M. degree from another ABA-accredited law school, a maximum of one year's advanced standing may be granted so that the Juris Doctor (J.D.) could be completed in less time than the usual three years. In order to receive the J.D., all students must be in residence for two years of law study as a J.D. candidate. Typically, students who have completed an LL.M. would take the first-year foundation courses along with the entering class and subsequently take advanced courses in the following year to complete the J.D. degree.
Therefore, you would unfortunately be unable to apply for Regular Admission. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us.
Best wishes,
Columbia Law School

Berkeley回信,就一句话:Unfortunately, we do not admit LL.M. students or graduates from programs other than our own. Sorry.
我接着问:You mean that even if giving up the advanced standing, an LLM (hosted by a school other than UCB) degree holder is still ineligible for regular admission 1L JD application?
Berkeley接着回,还是一句:From American programs, yes, that is correct.
嗯……按照UCB的FAQ的意思,也是自己的学生可以申,但是不能直接转……
Can I transfer to the J.D. program from the LL.M. program ?
No. LL.M. students cannot transfer to the J.D. program. LL.M. students can, however, apply for admission to the J.D. program.
