An LLB is a first university degree in law — the undergraduate law degree in Britain and in many places that followed the British pattern, including Taiwan. You study law as your main subject and, if you pass, you leave with this degree. The letters come from Latin, not from English words like ‘law’ and ‘bachelor’ stuck together in that order, though the idea is the same: a bachelor’s degree in laws. People say ‘an LLB’ and write LL.B. or LLB. It is formal, academic, and professional: you see it after a name on a CV, on a university website, or when someone explains their qualification. Though actually, the first law degree is not called this everywhere. In the United States the usual first professional law degree is a JD, not an LLB, so an American student may never ‘get an LLB’. In older British usage the double L marks ‘laws’ in the plural (civil and church law, and so on); students do not need that history to use the letters, but it is why it is LLB and not LB. People who hold one may still need further training or exams before they can practise as a lawyer — the degree is the university piece, not automatically a licence to argue in court.
