The program begins for foreign students in mid-July with an intensive course in the American legal systems and for U.S. J.D. graduates in mid-August. They also offer an LLM and a SDJ program for Indigenous Peoples Law & Policy. Information: http://www.law.arizona.edu/ University of California, Berkeley Offers LLM degrees for people holding American or foreign law degrees. With the aid of a faculty adviser appointed by the Committee on Advanced Law Degree Programs, the program is tailored to the individual needs of each candidate, taking into account educational background and career objectives. As part of the program, each candidate completes an individual research project approved by the committee. Information: http://www.law.berkeley.edu University of Chicago Offers two graduate masters degrees: Master of Laws (LL.M.), Master of Comparative Law (M.Comp.L.). All four programs are limited to students who have already obtained a first law degree from an A.B.A. approved law school in the United States or a similarly accredited foreign institution. All four programs require full time attendance at the Law School for at least one academic year (three consecutive academic quarters). Unlike a number of other law schools, the University of Chicago does not offer a specialized graduate degree program with a large number of graduate courses in a particular field such as taxation or securities regulation. There are no courses in the curriculum just for LL.M. students; LL.M. students will have all of their classes with students in the J.D. program. The M.Comp.L. Degree may be awarded at the student's discretion if the same requirements are fulfilled. International students will normally be expected to arrange their programs to include one of the following courses: civil procedure, constitutional law, torts or contracts. Information: http://www.law.uchicago.edu Vanderbilt University Course offered to foreign lawyers in American law, which helps on the case of interest, learning about the American legal system. It is also a small group which can help on interaction with people from other countries and the American students enrolled in the JD program. The school has potential and presents interest in investing in its program. Information: law.vanderbilt.edu Wake Forest University Relatively small program but has been considered the 5th best in the rankings. They offer the LLM in American law only to foreign lawyers, but you can choose which part of the law you want to focus in with the credits you take. They admit only a small group of students. As said before, this can be a plus. The inexpensive living costs and the environment of the nearby city n which it is located are big advantages.
