LL.M. in American Law
An Advanced Legal Degree for Foreign-Trained Lawyers
The Master of Laws (LL.M.) for foreign students at Syracuse University College of Law is a 24-credit hour graduate program designed to offer students with a foreign (non-U.S.) law degree or its equivalent, advanced study in American law.
We encourage prospective students to enroll at one of New York State’s most prestigious private law schools, located on the Syracuse University campus in Syracuse, New York. Our new LL.M. program is designed to offer foreign legal professionals the opportunity to broaden their effectiveness through the study of U.S. laws and the American legal process.
We’ve devoted this area of the site with the tools and resources you need to enroll as an LL.M. student.
