LL.M. Programs

We have a variety of engaging LL.M. programs that appeal to both U.S. and International students, including: Taxation, Prosecutorial Science, and LL.M. with Emphasis in Trial Advocacy (with court residency), Business Law & Economics, Entertainment & Media Law, and International & Comparative Law. Qualified candidates may also elect a General LL.M. with other specializations with special permission.

Courses in the LL.M. programs are taught by a mixture of experienced full-time professors and leading practitioners who bring extensive real-world experience to very specialized areas of legal practice. Our curriculums are designed to provide each student with a background in the program areas most often encountered, while allowing each student to choose specialized courses according to his or her interest.
