Well, it comes from Latin. The Latin word lex means law. Its plural is legum. Creating an abbreviation for a plural, especially in Latin, is often done by doubling the first letter (e.g., pp for pages), hence LL for laws.<\/p>\n<p>LLB stands for Legum Baccalaureus, Latin for Bachelor of Laws.<br \/>\nLLM or LL.M (NEVER L.L.M.) stands for Legum Magister, Latin for Master of Laws.<br \/>\nLLD or LL.D (NOT L.L.D.) stands for Legum Doctor, Latin for Doctor of Laws.<br \/>\nThe discipline, law, is already expressed inside the title of any of these law degrees; so you cannot have \u201cLLB in Law\u201d, or \u201cLLM in Law\u201d, or \u201cLLD in Law\u201d; just LLB, LLM, or LLD. <\/p>\n<p>Please review your CVs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bachelor of Laws (NOT Bachelor of Law or Bachelor in Law) degree is abbreviated as LLB or LL.B (NEVER L.L.B.).
