Overview

The LLM program is designed for foreign law graduates and foreign lawyers who wish to advance their legal education and careers in a stimulating academic environment.

The LLM program features a career-oriented curriculum with combined offerings of doctrinal courses in major legal practice areas and experiential learning courses. The program equips LLM candidates with essential lawyering skills and real-life work experience to meet the demand of the global legal market. LLM students also have the opportunity to sharpen their legal analysis, research, and writing skills through a broad array of seminar courses and participation in a number of journals. 

A flexible degree, the LLM program allows students to design their curriculum that best suits their career goals. Students may select from over 100 courses in different areas of U.S., transnational and international law, and pursue a general curriculum or a specialized curriculum in six academic concentrations. 

At Moritz, LLM students may take courses on all subjects tested on the New York bar exam as well as many other bar exams in the U.S., such as Ohio, California, D.C., Massachusetts, Texas, Washington. These courses not only allow foreign-trained students to meet the additional education requirements to qualify to sit for the bar exam in these jurisdictions, but also lay important foundations that help them prepare ahead of time for the bar exam. Moritz College of Law provides LLM students with a commercial bar prep course at a very low cost from THEMIS, one of the largest national bar review providers, along with bar exam info sessions and workshops throughout the academic year.
