In-Person Master of Laws (LLM) Program

Overview

A Master of Laws, or LLM, is a graduate qualification in the field of law. This internationally recognized postgraduate law program allows lawyers to gain advanced, specialized legal training by choosing classes within a specific area of law to develop their expertise. Our LLM Program is designed for both US-trained and foreign-trained lawyers and law school graduates who have earned a U.S. JD or foreign law degree and/or are qualified to practice law in any jurisdiction. For international lawyers and law graduates interested in taking a bar exam, our Director of Bar Success can help guide students in understanding the requirements, and select the jurisdiction that is best suited for them. In addition to the academic advantages an LLM offers, students also have opportunities to network with colleagues and professors from all over the world and build a lasting, professional network.

Eligibility

Applicants to the LLM Program must hold a law degree from a recognized law school. Both graduates with a foreign law degree and graduates with a U.S. JD are encouraged to apply.

We work with the UHM International Student Services to assist international students required I-20s.
