Is Bachelor of laws degree equivalent to masters degree?

Answer:

No, a bachelors degree in any field is an undergraduate degree. A masters degree is a post graduate degree. You must have an undergraduate degree before you can begin a post graduate degree (graduate school).

Since 1971, the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) degree is no longer awarded in the United States. Instead, the Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree is awarded. It requires three years of post bachleor's study, unlike the one or two years required by most master's degrees.
