LLM in the UK different from The U. S. LLM (Master degree)
I understand that the requirements for Law master's programs in the US are radically different from The UK LLM, you can not enter a master's degree if you do not have a bachelor in law, in England, I could be enrolled in the University of London, even with a non-profile bachelor's degree (Bsc in navigation)

The US system requires a student to complete a bachelor's degree, but there is not a bachelor's of law. Once a student has received their bachelor's of art (BA) or bachelor's of science (BS), the student may then apply for admission to a law school. The law school program is traditionally three years, and when a student graduates the student will have a juris doctorate (JD). This is a doctoral degree in law. After the student has received the JD, the student can then apply to a Masters of Law program that will provide them with an LLM. LLM degrees are specializations. For example, an attorney may wish to specialize in Tax Law and would go to a LLM program to receive an LLM in taxation.
The usual time period is a total of 8 years. It usually takes 4 years to get a bachelor's degree, 3 years to get a juris doctorate, and 1 more year to get the LLM in the specialized area of law.
