Texas Tech University School of Law LL.M.

Texas Tech University School of Law LL.M. students attended a special seminar luncheon with Professor Cassie Christopher. Professor Christopher heads up Texas Tech's team of professionals that focuses on helping law students prepare for and pass the various Bar Exams which they are planning to take. The intimate setting provided LL.M. students with a wealth of information on several States' requirements for foreign lawyers to qualify to sit for the bar examination, and provided time for them to ask detailed questions about their own situation. This is just one of the many ways Texas Tech strives to meet the needs of its LL.M. students.
