You’ve taken my thoughts and put them into words. I too am a joint JD/MBA student (at UBC). I found that the ‘JD/MBA’ combo definitely arises interset and increases marketability both in business and in law. However, I also found that it did not convey a real message – there was no ‘brand.’ The interest arose soley from having both degrees.

The lack of a brand put it on me to identify for potential employers what value I could provide them. The problem, though is, how do I know? I called up the few LLB/MBAs I could find, and well, didn’t get any further than I originally began.

It was this experience that helped me decide to try to bring any further JD/MBAs under my wing. I realized it would be difficult to force alumni JD/MBAs, but bringing together new LLB/MBAs would be a good and easy way to begin. I too figured that together we could build a brand. By helping the younger ones, I would be helping myself!

Good to see others are struggling with the same issues I am, at least one other.
