FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can you practice law with an LL.B.?
The ability to practice law with an LL.B. depends on the legal requirements of each jurisdiction. In most countries, including Spain, the LL.B. is the first academic step, after which graduates must complete additional training, exams or professional qualifications.
IE University's LL.B. is designed to support these pathways toward legal qualification in multiple jurisdictions.

Does an LL.B. make you a lawyer?
Obtaining an LL.B. does not automatically make you a lawyer. While it provides foundational legal knowledge, it does not grant the professional designation of a lawyer. To become a practicing lawyer, additional steps — such as passing the bar exam, completing a practical legal training program, or obtaining a further professional qualification — are required, depending on the jurisdiction.
