• Students may commence the LL.M. while enrolled in qualifying law study at a university outside the US or Canada. Qualifying law study means a Master of Laws program or equivalent legal study that is sufficient for entry to a country’s bar or required post- graduate training for bar admission. Proof of completion of the qualifying law degree (or for Germans, completion of the German first state exam) is required for graduation from the LL.M. program, but the LL.M. can be pursued already while completing the qualifying law degree or preparing for the German first state exam.
  
  
• Proficiency in English needs to be demonstrated either by submission of a satisfactory TOEFL score or equivalent certification, e.g., Cambridge certificates, prior degree in an English-speaking program.
  
  
• Selection is based upon credentials submitted in the student’s application, such as past performance in the American Law Program and International Business & Trade Summer Law Program, academic and professional achievements, and demonstrated language proficiency. Candidates may be required to participate in an in-person or online interview as part of their application process.
