Talk:Bachelor of Legal Letters
I am pretty sure that my Bachelor of Legal Letters degree is abbreviated LL.B. (there is no period between the first two Ls. Oxford Universal Dictionary states that LL is contraction for legum (of laws), and LL.B. is Legum Baccalaurreus is the latin term.Black's Law Dictionary 6th ed., page 930 in Centennial Ed. states "LL.B., LL.M. or LL.D. Abbreviations used to denote respectively, the three acedemic degrees in law, - bachelor, master, and doctor of laws; the later commonly geing an honorary degree." Alex756 14:41, 19 Aug 2003 (UTC)
- I thought LL.B. was "bachelor of laws", but I don't have one, so I could easily be mistaken. Vicki Rosenzweig
- It is confusing, on Google 38 hits come up discussing "Bachelor of Legal Letters" (in quotes) and "Bachelor of Laws" (in quotes again) comes up with 30,800 hits. If you look over the Bachelor of Legal Letters hits it seems to be a term that was only used in the USA. As far as my degree is concerned, it is in latin, so I don't know what the proper translation might be, but Bachelor of Laws sounds right to me too. Alex756
- I have moved the page to Bachelor of Laws which is the correct gloss of LL.B. There is already another page on the J.D. so I hope US readers used to the former terminology will not mind. Andrew Yong 06:24, 17 Nov 2003 (UTC)
