    As the economics of the legal job market have changed, more graduates have become interested in post-JD degrees.  Similarly, as the economics of law schools change, more law schools have begun post-JD programs.  The panelists will discuss whether post-JD degrees enhance the marketability of lawyers, whether such programs add to or detract from the economics of law schools, and some of the academic and administrative costs of these programs.  Panelists include a prominent legal placement expert and law school administrators involved with the decision to create an LLM program and the financial and academic impact of post-graduate legal education on their institutions.
