The LLM in US Legal Studies program provides core training in United States law and comprehensive preparation for foreign attorneys and law graduates to take the state bar examination. The program also allows students to concentrate on a particular area of U.S. law. It teaches foreign-educated lawyers about the basic foundations of American law and prepares them to understand, analyze, and write about issues in American law.
Graduates of the program will understand the foundations of U.S. law, know the basics of several specific areas of U.S. law, gain strong legal analysis skills, perform effective legal research, apply legal authority to facts, and write documents in acceptable U.S. format with correct citations. They will be prepared to succeed in their electives using the approach and skills that they have learned, and at the end of their studies will be prepared to work in an American law office or similar setting as an intern/extern.
Students in the LLM in US Legal Studies Program can study core US law, prepare for the bar, or focus on one of these specialties:
For each concentration, students must successfully complete the concentration course requirements. All concentration coursework must be completed before graduation. The diploma and transcript will list all concentrations that were successfully completed.

Golden Gate University School of Law is an award-winning, ABA-accredited law school with a prime location in the heart of San Francisco. GGU Law offers an innovative and personalized learning experience that produces a diverse group of graduates with the skill, judgment, and knowledge to become exceptional lawyers for today’s truly global market. Our location in downtown San Francisco puts students steps away from the global hub of the legal, business, and technology industries. With direct access to courts, law firms, advocacy organizations, government agencies, and rapidly expanding tech companies, GGU Law puts our students in the center of the action with career opportunities at every turn.
Now is a great time to become a lawyer. There is an increased need for innovative leaders to help us through the challenging times in our country and the fast-paced changes in technology and our economy. There is no better place to prepare students to be a lawyer and leader in their community, country, and the world than GGU Law.
Diversity

We believe that training future lawyers and leaders of diverse backgrounds and experiences creates a stronger, more inclusive justice system.

San Francisco has long been the heart of the culture of innovation and social justice. The city’s incredible diversity and rich blend of cultures from around the world prepare students for today’s truly global market. Our campus is also surrounded by easy access to public transportation, giving students easy access to commute or even just explore this exciting city and its beautiful surrounding region.
Located near thousands of potential employers, GGU Law students are afforded unique opportunities to engage in pro bono work, internships, externships, and other hands-on legal work under the supervision of practicing lawyers and the guidance of experienced professors. The biggest tech companies in the industry – Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Salesforce, and many more – surround our campus, giving our students unparalleled access to the ever-expanding tech industry and an unbeatable edge as they begin their legal career. San Francisco has always been at the forefront of change, and GGU Law has been there every step of the way!
As a first-generation college and law school graduate, I was drawn to GGU Law because of its dedication to expanding access to and diversifying the legal profession, something we have been doing for more than a century. We do this by providing a warm, diverse, and engaging community where students are driven to make changes in our community, country, and world.
As Dean, I am committed to helping each student succeed in law school and as lawyers. In fact, I meet individually with each new student to learn about their reasons for going to law school and how I can support them. You will also find this personal touch with every GGU faculty and staff member you meet. I am confident that you won’t find this same personalized and supportive environment at many other places.
I hope you will join me and the entire GGU Law family in San Francisco where we are always committed to the success of our students in law school, on the bar exam, and in the legal profession.
Sincerely,
Eric Christiansen Interim Dean & Professor of Law
