Tulane Master of Laws (LLM) Program
For well over 75 years, Tulane has welcomed students and scholars from throughout the world to study at the Law School. Our location in New Orleans places us in one of the most diverse and cosmopolitan cities in the United States, if not the world.
Tulane's LLM degrees require one year of full-time study or two years on a part-time basis. Part-time study is open only for attorneys practicing in the New Orleans area.
Please contact lawadmissions@tulane.edu with any questions.
Candidates for the Master of Laws degree must complete 24 semester hours of coursework. Full-time students are expected to complete the LLM in two semesters (one academic year). LLM students must also write at least one paper in connection with a seminar in their field of interest or in connection with a directed research project.
LLM Students who received a JD or LLB (or equivalent) from a school located outside of the United States must enroll in a three-week summer orientation course, Introduction to US Law. International students must also complete and pass a legal research and writing course.
