The Bachelor of Laws (Legum
Baccalaureus Latin, abbreviated
LL.B., LL. B., LLB, or rarely, Ll.B.,
but never L.L.B.) is an
undergraduate, or bachelor,
degree in law (or a first
professional degree in law,
depending on jurisdiction)
originating in England and
offered in most common law
countries as the primary law
degree.[1] In English-speaking
Canada it is sometimes referred
to as a post-graduate degree
because previous university
education is usually required for
admission. The "LL." of the
abbreviation for the degree is
from the genitive plural legum (of
lex, law). Creating an
abbreviation for a plural,
especially from Latin, is often
done by doubling the first letter
