  • Degree Requirements

The Master of Laws (LLM) in U.S. Law is an online degree program designed for international lawyers seeking a fundamental understanding of the U.S. common law legal system. Students develop the skills to research, write and communicate like a U.S. lawyer and earn a degree from a top U.S. law school without having to relocate or leave their current jobs.

Upon graduation from the program, students are eligible to sit for the bar examination in California and in Washington state.
