I am currently a final year MA Economics student at a state university, but considering the opportunities available after completing it i am looking for different career options and based on my knowledge law seems to be a double degree option for me.

But i have certain questions regarding 3 year llb in general which i am pretty sure LI community would be able to help me out.
First, i know integrated law seems to be the norm these days among law aspirants but i am not sure whether legal community itself have different criteria or are being partial towards a particular degree.
Second, i am not sure whether my economics/commerce knowledge be of any help to me towards any sort of progression in legal field or i have to start for a fresh slate in terms of skills set required in legal profession.
Third, What law schools should i target, and should i get admission to a law school in my city(jaipur) itself,
as it seems that a city plays a major role but in contrast nlu's seems to be in pretty remote places.

And please do suggest me a few good law schools for 3 year llb program.
1- No, the legal community is not partial. As an integrated law grad myself, I believe three year law grads are more mature when they graduate out of law. Law firms do not discriminate as well. I know many DU-CLC and SLS- 3 year grads working at T1s.
2- The degree might give you an edge in understanding a lot of business that goes in wrt commercial law matters, but legally it won't be of much use.
3- In no order of preference: DU-CLC, SLS-Pune and JGLS.
Go for GLC. You will be able to do full time internships along with college.
Thanks for the reply, by the way are all law colleges affiliated to Mumbai university have attendance leniency and more over are other colleges in Mumbai worth attending.
Jindal should be the top choice for a 3 year programme. You have had non-law graduates from Cambridge, Penn etc enrol for the Jindal LLB.
No use. More GLC grads land a job than Jindal 3-year LLB people. Why waste all that money? It doesn't give you any advantage during litigation either, unless you are counting on batchmate's parents throwing you some business.
In no particular order- DU-CLC, ILS Pune, GLC, SLS-P, JGLS(only if you have money).
Thanks for the reply, i wanted to know how much of an impact does an tier 1 city can have in term of opportunities in law school.
