Master of Laws [L.L.M] [Law] From College of William & Mary

The program is split into fall and spring semesters, and ends with graduation in mid-May. All students must take a series of classes about the American legal system in mid-August, during the week prior to the start of the fall semester. LL.M. candidates will complete the program in one academic year of full-time study.

Our program offers a great degree of flexibility. Our LL.M. students create their own program of study by either choosing a broad survey of courses or focusing on one of our many practice areas, such as international law or environmental law. Unlike many LL.M. programs, our students take classes with their J.D. student colleagues. Many of our students also take the coursework necessary to qualify them to take the New York State Bar.

Our traditional two-semester, full-time program typically begins in the fall semester and ends with graduation in mid-May. All students must take a series of classes about the American legal system in mid-August, during the week prior to the start of the fall semester. However, students may begin their program in the spring semester as well. Out new three-semester, full-time LL.M. program allows students three semesters of coursework, including a specialization in a chosen legal field.
