Bachelor of Laws
The degree of Bachelor of Laws is the principal academic degree in law in the majority of common law countries other than the United States, where it has been replaced by the Juris Doctor degree.
It is abbreviated LL.B. (or LLB): "LL." is an abbreviation of the genitive plural legum (of lex, law), thus "LL.B." stands for Legum Baccalaureus in Latin. In the United States it is sometimes erroneously called "Bachelor of Legal Letters" to account for the double "L".
Historically, in Canada, Bachelor of Laws is the name of the first degree in common law, but is also the name of the first degree in Quebec civil law awarded by a number of Quebec universities. The Canadian common law LL.B. is generally a graduate-entry degree, meaning that the majority of those admitted to a Canadian LL.B. programme are already holders of one or more degrees.
