LL.M Admission Requirements

To be considered for admission to the LL.M. Program in Dispute Resolution, applicants generally must have completed the first degree in law (LL.B. or equivalent) required for law practice or law teaching in the country in which law studies were pursued. U.S. applicants generally must have satisfied the J.D. requirements of an ABA-accredited law school. In exceptional cases, U.S. applicants may be admitted if they have satisfied the J.D. requirements of a non-ABA-accredited law school. In exceptional cases, applicants may be admitted without a law degree if they have substantial experience in dispute resolution.

Applicants must possess a minimum 2.5 (A = 4.0) grade point average in their J.D. program, and a 3.0 GPA for work completed in any additional graduate or advanced degree programs.

Applicants submitting complete files by January 1 will receive notification in February. Applicants submitting complete files by March 15 will receive notification in April. Applications received after March 15 will be reviewed on a rolling basis if space is still available.
