Now is the time to earn an LLM in U.S. Legal Studies at The John Marshall Law School in Chicago. Designed for well-qualified lawyers with law degrees from other countries, John Marshall’s LLM in U.S. Legal Studies provides foreign lawyer students with a customized course of study to best meet their individual career goals and professional needs.
We accept students for the fall semester, providing the opportunity to complete the LLM program in two semesters or nine months. Students may also begin in the spring semester, but will not finish until the following December. However, students who wish to take fewer credits per semester may take up to five semesters to finish the degree program. Students must successfully complete 24 credit hours to earn the LLM in U.S. Legal Studies. Students in this LLM program will typically take between 9–12 courses to earn the degree.
Course of Study
The John Marshall Law School has been providing international lawyers with graduate education in the U.S. legal system since 1992.
Students enrolled in the LLM in U.S. Legal Studies Program must take the following three courses:
Introduction to the U.S. Legal System (2)—fall semester
To complete the remaining 18 credits, students may choose courses typically studied during the first year of law school (e.g. Contracts, Constitutional Law, and Property) as well as elective options from both our JD and LLM curricula.
There is no written thesis requirement for the LLM, but certain JD elective courses and many LLM courses require final papers rather than exams.
Courses that may be of particular interest to students in the LLM in U.S. Legal Studies Program include:
Students may focus their remaining elective credits in a specific area such as business law, intellectual property law, international trade law, or international human rights.
General Requirements: Member of a foreign bar or graduate of an accredited foreign law school holding the equivalent of a U.S. law degree.
