St. John’s School of Law is proud to offer two LL.M. Gradate
Degrees. The programs are the LL.M. in Bankruptcy and the LL.M. in
U.S. Legal Studies for Foreign Graduates.
Thirty credits are required for the LL.M. degree. The
course of study is full-time for one year or part-time for two
years. The program begins in August.
We offer the nation’s only LL.M. in Bankruptcy and accept only
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.
The LL.M. in U.S. Legal Studies for Foreign Law School Graduates
provides foreign lawyers with an invaluable opportunity to come to
St. John’s Law School and New York City to acquire new skills in
U.S. legal studies and gain eligibility to apply for the New York
Bar and to provide foreign law graduates full exposure to the core
subjects of U.S. law.
