LLM in Law (General)

We evaluate your transcript based on courses taken, increasing level of difficulty and academic rigor of the course of study. While the academic reputation of the institution is considered, it is not weighed as heavily as the student’s academic performance.

Letters of recommendation help to complete the academic profile of each applicant. We highly encourage applicants ask faculty members to write these letters. Recommendations should stress your ability to think and write critically, analyze large volumes of text, and address your level of responsibility in the classroom.

We are particularly interested in knowing what motivates you to pursue an LL.M. We are also interested in learning about your life experiences, family background, academic experiences and academic accomplishments that make you especially qualified to pursue a degree at the School of Law. The personal statement should also demonstrate your ability to write well. It is recommended that you have your personal statement proofread prior to submission. Ideally, your personal statement should be tailored to the School of Law. It should be 2 – 2 1/2 pages, double-spaced, 12-point font. It should be at most 750 words.

All applicants are required to submit a résumé listing employment, extracurricular and/or public-service activities, honors, awards, and special interests related to your academic career to date.
