Different between JURI & LLB degree

This explains it better than I can: "LL.B. = Bachelor Of Laws – although the degree takes three years and is overwhelmingly taken after a bachelors degree, the LL.B. is an undergraduate degree. You will find the LL.B. degree designation in many countries that are or were part of the British Commonwealth. (Many American universities, in the early years, awarded the LL.B. degree. Click here to see see an LL.B. diploma awarded in 1852 by the University of Pennsylvania law school.)


J.D. = Juris Doctor – this is a graduate degree and is primarily a U.S. law degree. In addition, Canadian (most Canadian law schools have transitioned from the LL.B. to the J.D.) and Australian law schools (Bond) offer a J.D. Make sure that you understand the difference between and ABA (American Bar Association) and non-ABA approved degree. The former will allow you to take the Bar exam in any U.S. state."
