Do you think I could get hired if I had an online JD? My cumulative GPA was 3.9 in college.

Is a law degree from a online school just as well as one from a traditional school and is it respected within the law community?

my cousin of mine got a law degree (third tier school) and a LLM(first tier school) in tax, after unemployed for 8 months, he lands a job as a paralegal, will this “tainted” his resume? what is his chance to be accepted as a lawyer at a big law firm in the future?
he has passed the state bar, his GPA in LLM is around 3.1 or so, good ranking in his law degree though. if not big firm, does he have chance to become a lawyer in a small firm?

I’d like to find a job in Europe relevant to international (trade) law. I have an advanced degree in law but not a first degree in law. I don’t have enough experience to work for UN agencies. I’m not an EU citizen. What can I do, where can I search?
I’ll appreciate any advice.
