Advanced JD Program for Foreign Law Graduates at University of Hawaii Law

 

Advanced JD Program for Foreign Law Graduates

The Advanced JD allows graduates of foreign law schools to complete their U.S. law studies and earn a JD degree in as little as 2 years. Under this program, qualified foreign law graduates may be admitted with advanced standing and awarded up to 29 credits for their previous law study. The decision on the number of credits to be granted will be made when the application is considered, and successful applicants will be notified at the time of admission how many credits they will receive for their foreign study.
Most students admitted to this program will complete the first-year required JD curriculum in their first year of study, then take their choice of elective courses in the second year of study. We work with all students to design an individual program suited to their background and interests, including participation in our programs in environmental, international, and business law.
Our 2-year JD program provides foreign law graduates with the best preparation for bar admission and for the successful practice of law. Advanced JD students are full members of our law school community. Students admitted to the accelerated JD program receive the same degree as other JD students and are eligible to take the bar examination in all U.S. jurisdictions, if they meet the other requirements for admission.

Case Western Reserve offers four LL.M degrees

Practicing law in a global society demands a firm grasp of cross-border interests and implications of a nation's laws.

Our LLM degrees prepare lawyers for this challenge.

We offer four LLM degrees:
LLM in U.S. & Global Legal Studies
This program is for students interested in U.S. law who hope to improve their legal research, writing and analytical skills. This is the best degree to prepare for a US bar exam. Students may also earn a certificate of concentration in the subject area of their choice. Required Coursework: Foreign Graduate Seminar, U.S. Legal Writing and Contracts for LLMs.

LLM in Intellectual Property Law
This program is best for students interested in the doctrine and policy of U.S. intellectual property law, including patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets. Required Coursework: Foreign Graduate Seminar, U.S. Legal Writing and Contracts for LLMs.

The one-year program is based at our law school, but students have the option of taking their second semester at an international tribunal. The degree is also available on a part-time basis over two years.

Texas Tech LL.M program

The Value of an LL.M. Degree

As economic globalization continues to expand, the need for lawyers with international experience also grows. More and more U.S. law firms are looking to foreign lawyers with U.S. LL.M.'s to staff offices in far-off lands. In addition, more and more foreign lawyers are finding that an LL.M. degree from a university in the United States is a necessary requirement to future success in the practice of law in their home countries. We want to be your legal destination of choice, not just because we believe we can do a better job than most law schools, but because we appreciate that our J.D. students can benefit from your presence in the classroom and on our campus. We look forward to welcoming you as a candidate in the Master of Laws degree in United States Legal Studies at Texas Tech University School of Law.

Georgia State University College of Law Ranked no. 4 on 2016 Best Value List

College Ranked No. 4 on 2016 Best Value List

Georgia State University College of Law is No. 4 on PreLaw and National Jurists “Top 20 Best Value Law Schools” for 2016.
“We are proud to continue to be ranked in the top 10 on the PreLaw and National Jurist list,” said
Steven J. Kaminshine, dean and professor of law. “Our increased number of applicants this year shows that more students are recognizing the value in our affordable, varied and flexible programs, which emphasize experiential learning and community engagement, and the benefits of our location in the heart of Atlanta.”
The publication’s rankings are based on an analysis of the amount of student debt, tuition, cost of living, the school’s employment rate and bar passage success. The formula gives most weight to employment, and is designed to find law schools in which graduates have excellent chances of passing the bar and getting a job without taking on a ton of debt for education.
The College of Law is consistently placed among the top because of its low debt of $66,637 (with tuition at $16,858 for two semesters for full-time resident students and living expenses estimated at $16,100) and employment rate at 80.2 percent. This is the ninth year Georgia State Law has been among the nation’s top 10 Best Value schools.

LL.M. Program in United States Law for International Students

 

 We take your education personally.

When you commit to coming to the United States for your Master’s of Law (LL.M.) degree, you deserve a school that will show the same amount commitment to you. The LL.M. program at Loyola is designed to bring a personal approach to your studies. With a maximum of 20 students each year, our dedicated faculty and staff can devote all the time and attention you need to get the most out of your time at Loyola.
Louisiana is the only mixed jurisdiction state in the country, which means Loyola is one of just a few schools that can offer certificates in common and civil law. This will provide you with added flexibility in deciding where to practice—whether that’s in Louisiana, around the United States or almost anywhere in the world. But while you’re in school you will spend the year living in one of the most international and culturally diverse cities in the country, New Orleans.
Explore the links below to learn more about the Loyola LL.M. program or if you have specific questions please email program coordinator Brian Bennett at bmbennet@loyno.edu
