The LLM Application Process

To be eligible to apply to a participating LLM program, you must have completed, or be in the process of completing, a degree that entitles you to practice law.

Minimum Degree Requirements by Country

Most LLM CAS–participating law schools require a law degree that allows you to practice law in the country where you obtained it. If either your degree or your country of study is not listed in the chart below, please contact the law school(s) of interest to you to confirm eligibility.

Note that the chart includes only the minimum requirements. You are expected to present all postsecondary education, including work completed prior to and after the minimum degree listed, according to the requirements of the law schools to which you apply. Any omission of required education history could delay the review of your credentials and LSAC’s report to the law schools.
