The one-year Master of Laws degree, LL.M., is for foreign lawyers
who have already received a primary law degree from universities in
their home countries. The LL.M. Program in United States Law offers
international lawyers the opportunity to develop mastery of key areas of
American law in one of the nation's top law schools.
The program builds on the school's existing
international program, which includes exchange, study abroad and
visiting scholar programs, and faculty expertise in the most pressing
global legal issues. LL.M. students receive legal training in American
law through the school's nationally recognized centers and areas of
academic strength in legal fields that are in high demand throughout the
world.
LL.M. students take most of their classes
together with UNC law students, sharing their international perspective
with and learning American law from UNC faculty and students. Legal
areas in which LL.M. students may concentrate their law studies at UNC
include:
- Corporate and Commercial Law
- Banking and Finance
- Intellectual Property
- Environmental Law
- Health Care Law
- Human Rights and Civil Rights Law
- International and Comparative Law
- Public Law and Regulation
In addition to the UNC law curriculum, LL.M.
students may also receive instruction outside the law school, taking
advantage of opportunities in other departments on the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill campus. The LL.M. program encourages
collaboration between its students and University faculty and students,
particularly those in business school and international studies.

University of North Carolina I hear offers a really great LLM. I have researched many schools worth attending, and thanks to Legal-Ease I think I'm close to picking something worthy. UNC offers a great LLM, so they're high up there.
