Hi all

I am a european law student and I will try to get to do a J.D. in the US (i want to move there) and I wanted to know if it‘s possible to work next to your law studies in the US. I have been working between 20 and 50 hours while studying (it‘s exhausting af but i need the money lol) and I wondered how the situation is in the USA.

You would like to know if it's realistic to be able to work significant hours while being in Law school in the U.S?

smart

Yes exactly

So I think you’d get an LLM rather than a JD for one. As for the work hours, that’s up to you. If you feel comfortable with less study time, then I guess? But law school is generally considered a full time job unless you do an evening session for law school. If you have your heart set on work while law school, look at evening sessions.

Good idea, thanks!

This might just be me but I think EU offers better opportunities for working students. US has relatively lesser pay for usual jobs available to working students. If you're up for freelance work though, try Upwork– gives better freedom than casual employment. Wishing you the best of luck!

Thank you, will look into it! Yes I‘d likely be working remotely at my current job, I was just wondering if I‘d realisticly have time for it

If you are on student visa, you wont be allowed to work unless it is opt or cpt period which is similar to internships

Mhh I think that won‘t be a problem since I can work remotely in my current job

It depends on the school. Some Universities don't allow you to have a job while in your first two years of law school. People still do it but its not suggested.

I would say you're better off practicing in Europe hahaha. But realistically depending on the State you would want to practice in then you still have a high chance of accomplishing things despite working full-time. Anything is possible with the proper diligence
