Choose a general LLM if you want flexibility and exposure to multiple legal fields, or a specialized LLM if you have a clear interest in a specific area and want in-depth expertise.

- General LLM: Best if you're exploring options or want a broad legal perspective. You can tailor your studies across subjects like corporate law, human rights, or environmental law.
- Specialized LLM: Ideal if you have a defined career goal or passion for a niche, such as international business law or human rights, and want targeted skills for that field.

With your law background and significant work experience, match your choice to your career goals and interests.
