LLM in Law

International applicants are strongly encouraged to use the LLM CAS International Transcript Authentication and Evaluation Service. Evaluations provide the Admissions Committee with your US grade equivalency and facilitate the review process. WES and other evaluation services are also accepted.

You will need to submit official transcripts from your first degree in law, and any other universities attended. The transcript should be an official record from the academic institution, clearly indicating the dates of attendance, the courses taken, the grades received, and the degree conferred.

One letter of recommendation is required and can be submitted through the LSAC or directly to Cardozo. The letter should be addressed to "Cardozo School of Law" and may be written by law school professors and employers or colleagues whose supervisory positions permit informed evaluations of your qualifications.

Two (2) typed, double-spaced pages. The statement should describe your reasons for pursuing an LLM degree and include any information you believe would be helpful to the Admissions Committee in making its decision.

The resume/CV should be current at the time of application and include information about education (including dates of attendance at universities and dates of degrees received) and work experience (including employer names and locations, position titles, dates of employment, and description of responsibilities for the position held).
