St. John’s School of Law is proud to offer a range of graduate programs for American and foreign-trained attorneys:

LL.M. in Bankruptcy The nation's only masters in bankruptcy program, the LL.M. in Bankruptcy program at St. John’s School of Law accepts about a dozen highly motivated students a year. Our intensive and comprehensive curriculum includes more than two-dozen specialized bankruptcy courses taught by a world-class faculty of leading professors, judges and practitioners. Our graduates are successful and are employed by leading firms and courts.

LL.M. in International and Comparative Sports Law A joint degree program offered with the Madrid-based Instituto Superior de Derecho y Economia (ISDE), this unique LL.M. program is designed specifically for lawyers with a passion for sport and a strong desire to practice in this challenging and dynamic area of the law. Open to American and foreign law graduates, the program comprises one semester of intense and focused academics, followed by a semester of practice placement with sports law firms, agencies, regulatory bodies, leagues or teams. 

LL.M. in Transnational Legal Practice Designed for both American and foreign-trained attorneys seeking advanced training for transnational practice, this LL.M. program offers tracks in public international legal practice, cross-border transactions and transnational dispute resolution. Students may also design their own course of study to meet their professional needs and personal interests. 

LL.M. in U.S. Legal Studies This is a very focused LL.M. program designed specifically to prepare foreign-trained lawyers with the training and skills necessary to qualify for and pass the New York Bar Examination.  For foreign-trained lawyers wishing to practice in New York permanently or to enter transnational practice in their home jurisdiction, admission to the New York Bar is essential.  While some law schools use qualification to sit the New York Bar as a marketing hook for their generic LL.M. programs, St. John’s objective is specifically to assist you in every way possible in your goal of gaining admission to the New York Bar.
