LLM in Law

Transcript(s) (including diplomas for all degrees that have been received)

Two letters of recommendation are required (most applicants provide three, and there generally is no benefit to providing more than three). We will not accept more than five. Please be sure to tell us the names and professional positions of every recommender on the Registering your Recommenders page of the online Application Form.

Personal statement, parts (A) and (B). Your statement must be no more than 1,500 words – anything exceeding this limit will be disallowed. Part (A), the legal essay, should constitute at least half of the total length. A) Briefly describe either an important issue in your field of interest or a current legal problem facing a particular country, region, or the world, and then propose and analyze a theoretical framework or legal strategy to address this issue. For the avoidance of doubt, your response should not be limited to outlining a research plan or proposal. Successful essays will contain substantive analysis of the issue identified. B. Please tell us something about yourself—in particular, why you wish to pursue an LL.M. degree at Harvard and how doing so connects with what you have done in the past and what you plan to do in the future.
