Georgetown Law’s LL.M. programs are open to both foreign and U.S.-trained lawyers. U.S.-trained candidates must have received a J.D. degree from a law school accredited by the American Bar Association. Students educated outside the United States must have already completed the university portion of their legal education and received the degree required for admission to the practice of law in their country. Admission to the bar is not required.

Foreign-educated students who wish to craft their own course of study, sampling from various areas, can choose the LL.M. in General Studies or LL.M. in International Legal Studies programs, both of which offer great flexibility. For students wishing to specialize, there are several programs available (see full listing at right).

Additionally, Georgetown offers exciting joint & dual degree options.

For all foreign-educated students, Georgetown Law offers the highly popular LL.M. Summer Experience, a summer program that enables a student to earn up to four academic credits that count toward the New York Bar.
