U.C. Davis Academic Year LL.M. program

 

Academic Year LL.M. Program

UC Davis School of Law is a top-tier U.S. law school with internationally known faculty and scholars. UC Davis School of Law at King Hall is home to our innovative and engaged student body of 498 J.D. and 55 LL.M. students. Our students attend courses and study in our striking new state-of-the-art King Hall facility and enjoy outstanding library with access to the collections of all UC campuses and more.




The LL.M. Experience    At UC Davis School of Law, the faculty fully integrate students into their ambitious research and practice activities. Be part of an intellectually curious yet distinctively supportive community. Faculty, fellow students and staff, no matter how busy and engaged in professional achievement, are accessible, empathetic and committed to your education.

The LL.M. program follows an academic calendar with the program starting in late August and running through May of each year. LL.M. students select from all law school courses to design educational programs reflecting their educational interests. LL.M.s participate in their classes with U.S. J.D. students.

The LL.M. Director guides and counsels students throughout the year to make sure academic and professional goals are achieved.

Multiple lecture series bring dynamic, nationally and internationally known experts to complement the regular curriculum. King Hall hosts over 50 student organizations to enhance your education and networking.

Program Details    Each LL.M. candidate must successfully complete a minimum of 20 semester units of work.

LL.M. students may choose to personalize their course programs to specialize in a particular area of law, such as Business Law, Criminal Law and Procedure, Environmental and Natural Resources Law, Health Care Law and Bioethics, Human Rights and Social Justice Law, Intellectual Property Law, International Law, Public Interest Law and more.

Each LL.M. student must also complete an intellectually rigorous legal research and writing project.

We support our LL.M.s through the year with special academic and career skills workshops.





Orientation in U.S.A. Law Program for Pre-LL.M.s    We encourage you to participate in our Orientation in U.S.A. Law program. Designed for both working professionals and incoming LL.M. students, this program helps you to get settled into Davis and learn about American culture as you practice your legal English, learn an overview of U.S. Law, and participate in LL.M. preparation workshops—all before the academic year starts. More than half of our LL.M. students participate in this program each year, and they find it immensely valuable.




We accept applications throughout the year and encourage applicants to submit by January 10.    Contact: Cyntia Spencer, LL.M. Admissions Officer

Georgia State LLM Cirriculum

LL.M. Curriculum and Program Tracks

Georgia State Law’s LL.M. Program for Foreign-Trained Lawyers builds on our J.D. program, which has achieved national distinction in a relatively short time.
LL.M. graduates will be well equipped to assume leadership positions in their legal institutions, including law firms with an international practice, the judiciary and government, and in law faculties and those of related disciplines in their home countries. Our program will help you achieve this through:

• teaching you the skills essential to practicing American law
• enhancing how you counsel clients when negotiating with U.S. businesses and entities
• offering you internship interaction with U.S. lawyers
• facilitating a means to create your global network of contacts
• providing opportunities to refine and validate your English language skills

The LL.M. program has two tracks:

• FLEXIBLE STUDIES (Track 1) enables students to customize their study and concentrate in particular areas, such as intellectual property, health law, land use and urban growth, conflict resolution and others, or to personalize their studies.
• BAR PREPARATION (Track 2) allows students to focus on the requirements necessary to sit for a bar exam in a qualifying state, such as Georgia or New York. Georgia now allows foreign-trained lawyers to sit for its exam after completing a bar-focused LL.M. curriculum.

Both tracks include skills-training options.
Full-time LL.M. students must complete the program in nine months.
The LL.M. program director must approve each LL.M. student’s course schedule in advance. No exceptions.
