About

Overview The LLM program of Northwestern University offers outstanding graduates of foreign law schools an opportunity to study American law and legal processes, continue their studies in international law, and engage in comparative legal research.Graduates of the program represent more than 50 countries and hold prominent positions in many areas of practice. They include attorneys, professors, judges, corporate counsel, consultants, human rights workers, bankers, and civil servants. I want to find another Master Course Bar Eligibility (excluding Executive LLM Chicago)Only some states permit foreign lawyers to take the bar examination, and each state has its own requirements as to prior legal education, coursework in a U.S. LLM program, and other matters. As such, the LLM, LLM IHR, and LLM/Kellogg programs do not guarantee students that they will qualify to take the bar examination or practice law in the United States. Eligibility, however, has been extended in the past in the states of New York and California dependent on meeting some specific criteria.Career pathThe LLM program does not prepare students for permanent employment in the United States, rather the Career Center will assist students who wish to seek internships, visiting or foreign attorney positions in the U.S. as well as enhanced employment opportunities at home. We provide training and workshops on all aspects of a job search in the U.S. including "Preparing a US-style Cover Letter and Resume", "Researching and Networking", and "Interviewing". In addition, we allow students to develop their practical skills through a Mock Interview Program and Etiquette dinners.

The LLM program of Northwestern University expands students' knowledge of law and legal processes and provide opportunities for them to gain expertise in a specialized field of law.
