Program Requirements

The Master of Laws (LL.M.) for international law graduates at the Syracuse University College of Law is a 24-credit hour graduate program designed to offer international legal professionals the opportunity to broaden their effectiveness through the study of U.S. laws and the American legal process. This program is exclusively available to graduates in law from academic institutions abroad or those who are otherwise licensed to practice law in their home jurisdictions. We seek people from diverse legal backgrounds, including corporate, government, private practice, judicial and academic.

In this one-year residential program, each student will take two basic foundational courses designed for LL.M. students. One to introduce the students to the basics of the American Legal system and a second in Legal Writing. The remainder of the program allows the student to tailor their own experience in the LL.M. from among the superb and diverse courses offered at the College.
