Master of Law

Wayne Law's master of laws program has four major specializations: corporate and finance law, labor and employment law, taxation, and U.S. law. The LL.M. curriculum includes day and evening courses taught by internationally respected faculty and expert practitioners. The LL.M. program is flexible and allows lawyers to enroll as full-time or part-time students. Courses are offered during three terms with the broadest offerings in the fall semester and winter semester. Additional courses are offered in the summer/spring term. Students should consult with the assistant dean of non-J.D. programs, the LL.M. faculty director, and faculty in their major areas to determine reasonable schedules of courses.

The basic requirement for admission to the LL.M. program is a demonstration of sufficient ability to be a successful student. This ability may be demonstrated by a record that includes the following:

A J.D. (or LL.B.) degree from a law school that is approved by the American Bar Association and is a member of the Association of American Law Schools.

A J.D. (or LL.B.) degree from a law school that is approved by the American Bar Association but is not a member of the Association of American Law Schools, but only if the applicant has compiled a distinguished academic record at that law school.

The equivalent of a J.D. or LL.B. degree from a law school outside the United States at which the applicant compiled a distinguished academic record. Applicants must receive a score of 600 or above on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), or 250 or above on the computer-based TOEFL, or 100 or above on the internet-based TOEFL, or 7.0 or above on the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam, although a waiver of this requirement may be granted based on other evidence of English language competency. Individuals are ineligible for admission to the United States Law LL.M. Program if they have received a J.D. degree from a U.S. law school.

LL.M. application deadlines are:

Nov. 1 - winter term

March 15 - spring/summer term

July 1 - fall term
