Masters in LL.M. Program (International Law concentration)

The LL.M. Program at Columbia University, offered through Columbia Law School, is a full-time, one-year Master of Laws degree requiring 24 academic credits. This general LL.M. degree provides students with exceptional flexibility to tailor their education from the Law School's extensive curriculum, allowing them to deepen their current specialization, transition to a new practice area, or explore additional fields of study, such as International Law. Students benefit from one-on-one engagement with faculty, participation in experiential courses, clinics, externships, journals, and pro bono work, and opportunities to forge connections through student organizations. The curriculum includes core requirements like Introduction to American Law, LL.M. Legal Research & Writing, an LL.M. Writing Project, and an LL.M. Experiential Credit requirement, all while maintaining a strong academic record.
