LLM Admissions
The USF School of Law Master of Law (LLM) programs seek to admit a diverse group of students who are among the most capable lawyers from many countries throughout the world.
Both LLM programs are open to students and practitioners who have received a law degree from a university outside the United States and who speak English fluently. Students in the International Transactions and Comparative Law program may choose to focus on international commercial transactions law or a comparative study of a particular area of U.S. law. The LLM in Intellectual Property and Technology Law, which is also open to U.S. students with law degrees, focuses on American and international law in the intellectual property field.
The LLM programs require completion of 25 units (with a maximum of 30 units) and can be completed in two full-time semesters (August through May). A part-time option is available with approval from the program director. Combined enrollment for both programs is limited to approximately 30 students each year to ensure a high degree of individual attention. LLM students meet weekly in the American Legal System course, which is required of all LLM students with law degrees from a foreign institution, and also benefit from one-on-one mentor relationships with USF alumni who are practicing attorneys or judges.
