To the best of my knowledge, USA law schools until the late 1920's
issued LLB because "law school" was an undergraduate major.  However, it
became the norm to require a bachelors degree for admission to law school
by the late 1930's.  Universities, being mindful of tradition, move slowly.
Thus, many law schools that provided post-undergraduate law education
continued to issue LLB's through the late 1950's.  Every university that I
have heard of that has issued LLB's after requiring a bachelors for
admission to law school has a policy of issuing a replacement degree in the
form of a JD.
      Fewer than half of the UNO (the law school closed in the last 1950's)
and fewer than half of the UNL law school LLB degrees have been reissued as
JD because of the sentimental value.
