Syracuse University College of Law
Foreign law graduates are invited to join our diverse community of legal practitioners and academics to elevate understanding of the law and gain exposure to US and global practice.
Students in the Master of Laws (LL.M.) program enroll in the fall (August) semester and complete their program over the course of two or three semesters. LL.M. students pursue courses that teach the foundations of the American legal system and take elective courses alongside our J.D. students for a fully immersive experience Moreover, in partnership with Helix Bar Review, all graduates received a *free* bar review course to prepare for the New York State Bar Exam (a ~$4,000 value).
The College offers more than 100 courses in substantive legal topics and concentrations in Intellectual Property and Technology Law; International and Comparative Disability Law; International Business Transactions, Corporate, and Commercial Law; International Human Rights Law, and Security Law and Policy.
Syracuse Law offers LL.M. Merit Scholarships to select candidates. These scholarships typically range in amount between 25% to 75% of LL.M. program tuition.
The LL.M. Admissions Committee offers conditional admission to applicants who require additional English language instruction at Syracuse University’s English Language Institute (ELI) before starting the LL.M. program. While no TOEFL/IELTS score is required for admission, candidates must be proficient in English and are recommended to demonstrate the equivalency of a 90 TOEFL score or a 6.5 IELTS score. We encourage all students to attend the six-week intensive summer program English for Lawyers, offered by Syracuse University’s English Language Institute.
We also offer a doctoral-level S.J.D. program. This program is designed for foreign-educated lawyers and academics who desire to pursue careers in legal academia, research, the judiciary, and government posts.
The College of Law is part of the 200-acre Syracuse University campus. Syracuse is in the center of New York State, offering convenient access to major cities such as Boston, New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington DC, and Toronto. Regarding housing, students can find a range of single or shared apartments in the city. New fully furnished apartment buildings include Campus West, Theory Syracuse, Copper Beech Commons, and the 505 on Walnut, all located a short 5- to 15-minute walk to the law school.
