LLM in Law

International Transcript Authentication and Evaluation Service for all international transcripts is required.

Submit an official transcript and, where applicable, a diploma or proof of degree from all postsecondary (university-level) institutions you have attended, whether or not you earned a degree. This includes foreign exchange programs, non-law programs, and programs or courses in which you are currently enrolled. If you are unable to submit original documents to LSAC, you may submit certified copies.

Columbia Law School requires two (2) original letters of recommendation from individuals qualified to appraise your potential for graduate-level academic study. Where possible, one should be from a law school professor and one from a work supervisor unless you have been out of school for more than 5 years.

Your Personal Statement is your opportunity to tell your story to members of the Admissions Committee. You have the agency to write about whatever you want; we only ask that you be authentic. The best personal statements help us understand your why—why an LL.M., why Columbia, and why now is the right time. Your statement should not repeat your résumé but rather provide new information. Formatting requirements: No more than two (2) pages Double-spaced 12-point font Standard 1-inch margins
