AdmissionAdmission to the LL.M. Program is limited to those who are either (1) members in good standing of the Bar of any State or of the District of Columbia or (2) recipients of a J.D. or LL.B. degree from an ABA-approved law school or an equivalent foreign institution. In general, applicants will be expected to have some general familiarity with the federal income tax, the level of familiarity that would come from a solid performance in a basic law school income tax course of at least 3 credit hours or the equivalent. Students without this background who otherwise show the ability to complete the program successfully may be admitted and required to take the J.D. Federal Income Tax course, which would not count toward the credits required for the LL.M. Program.An applicant will only be admitted if the applicant's record viewed as a whole indicates that the applicant is likely to be able to complete the Program successfully. The applicant's academic record (at the undergraduate, law and graduate level) and relevant experience are the primary factors considered. An applicant is encouraged to provide letters of recommendation only from persons who can provide insights into the applicant's qualifications beyond what is apparent from the applicant's paper record. The curriculum design and schedule assume that students will begin the Program in the fall semester. An applicant may apply to begin in the spring semester (or to begin in the summer when summer courses are offered), but may find planning the overall sequence of courses more difficult in such circumstances. Depending on the spring curriculum in a given year, such an applicant may be admitted, but advised to defer starting the Program until the following fall semester. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis as filed. In the event that the number of qualified applicants exceeds the Program’s capacity, earlier applicants will have an advantage. For application and other information about applying for the program, Contact Us. |
 Any otherwise qualified applicant whose principal law degree is from a law school in which English is not the primary language of instruction is required to submit a TOEFL score of 600 (paper version) or 100 (internet based version) or 250 (computer based test) to qualify for admission. Please Contact Us for further information about this requirement.
