In English-speaking Canada is sometimes referred to as a postgraduate degree that the pre-university education is usually required for admission. The "LL". abbreviation of the title is the genitive plural legum (lex, law). Create an abbreviation of a plural, especially in America, often done by doubling the first letter (eg, "pp" of "pages"), so "LLB." represents Legum Baccalaureus in America. It is sometimes erroneously called "Bachelor of Legal Letters" to account for the double "L".The United States no longer offers the LL.B. although some universities introduced a Bachelor of Science in Legal Studies, including constitutional law, torts and criminal law within the curriculum.

Many law schools became their basic degree programs in Law Bachelor of Law JD in the 1960s, and Bachelor of Law graduates receive retroactively permitted before the new doctorates returning his LL.B. in exchange for a JD. Graduates of Yale degree receiving LL.B. degrees before 1971 were allowed to change similar to a JD degree, although many do not take the option manner, preserving their LL.B. degrees.Historically, in Canada, a law graduate was the name of the first degree in common law, but is also the name of the first degree in Quebec civil law given by several universities in Quebec.
