In fact, objectively speaking, the two are two different things. There is an essential difference. Although they both study law, their gold content is obviously different.

1. The admissions requirements are different. The Master of Laws must

require a bachelor's degree, and no equivalent academic qualifications are accepted. The Master of Laws requires a bachelor's degree from a national education sequence university (or an equivalent bachelor's degree). Academic ability) non-law graduates. Graduates of this degree must work for more than two years. Junior college graduates with equivalent academic qualifications must work for more than three years. The difference here is that you can apply for a Master of Laws with the same academic qualifications, but you cannot apply for a Master of Laws, and the Master of Laws must be someone who has never studied law.

2. The exam questions are different. The Master of Laws exam is a postgraduate entrance examination that has become increasingly difficult in recent years, but more and more candidates are taking it. , foreign language exams are the same, but the professional course exams on civil law, criminal law and comprehensive exams (including the Constitution, basic legal theory, and the history of Chinese legal system) are national joint examination subjects with limited difficulty (already formed

standardized review materials).

3. The admission ratio is different. The admission ratio for Master of Laws is generally around 10:1, and it is as high as 20:1 in prestigious universities such as Peking University, while the admission ratio for Master of Laws is generally 3:1.

Four. Different training methods. A master's degree in law is basically self-funded. For example, Peking University's is 800 yuan per credit, and the thesis guidance and thesis defense fee is 6,000. A master's degree in law is either publicly funded or self-funded.

5. Different teaching methods. The Master of Laws program adopts a tutoring system for each major. Each student has a tutor (professor or associate professor). During the study, they can receive continuous guidance from the tutor and learn relevant legal theories in depth. The Master of Laws program is not divided into majors and does not have a tutor. The courses studied are only basic legal courses, with 12 or 3 subjects, 45 credits. In the end, it was just a matter of finding a teacher to help with the paper.

To sum up, we should realize that in general, the Master of Laws is superior to the Master of Laws in many aspects, such as the quality of the candidates themselves and the systematic and in-depth study they receive.

But

The current problem is that the two are indistinguishable. Many employers in society think that a master's degree in law is a master's degree in law, but they do not know the essential difference between the two. Moreover, some schools have condoned this social misunderstanding, such as Renmin University and China University of Political Science and Law, which require masters of law to fill in their majors on the graduation assignment letter: civil law, economic law, criminal law Waiting casually can lead to confusion, set up obstacles for employers to select talents, and even mislead.

Therefore, the author speaks bluntly here to clarify this common sense issue.

The tuition fee for a master's degree in law is much higher than that of a master's degree in law, and many schools' master's degrees in law are publicly funded and tuition-free. And Fa Shuo is astonishingly tall. But in terms of subject resources, the Master of Laws and the Master of Laws in a school basically use the same instructors and equipment. It’s just that the teaching of the Master of Laws pays more attention to its own research direction (such as financial law, intellectual property law...), but the Master of Laws is to learn the basic knowledge of undergraduate law (basically including all legal directions) at the graduate level. , focusing primarily on existing legal provisions.

I don’t think there is much to say about the advantages: a master’s degree in law has academic advantages in research, but a master’s degree in law has practical advantages (the master’s degree in law focuses on practical application in the education stage, so there will be many practical opportunities ). However, a master's degree in law can be said to be proficient in one subject of law, but not comprehensive enough; a master's degree in law is proficient in all aspects of law, but not precise enough.

In terms of employment: They can all take the judicial examination and the civil service examination, which are basically the same employment direction. However, a master's degree in law also has teaching advantages, that is, you can teach in universities in the future. Most of those with master's degrees go into companies and the like. Didn't someone calculate that the passing rate of the bar exam for Master of Laws students is higher than that of Master of Laws students? In your case, since you have a management major and legal knowledge, it should be relatively easy to find a job.

But you should know that it is quite difficult to find a job in law across the country.
