LLM Programs

Our LLM (Master of Law) degree programs expand students' knowledge of law and legal processes and provide opportunities for them to gain expertise in a specialized field of law. To apply, students must have a JD from an ABA-accredited law school or a comparable legal degree from a university outside of the United States.

The nine-month general LLM program offers outstanding graduates of foreign law schools an opportunity to study American law and legal processes, continue their studies in international law, and engage in comparative legal research.

LLM in Taxation

The Tax Program's comprehensive curriculum, outstanding faculty, and small, collaborative community provides students with a solid understanding of the complexities of tax law and the specialized skills needed to practice federal, state, and international tax law successfully. Admission to the Tax Program is available to both the domestic and international law students.
