The LL.M. in Comparative Law degree is designed for graduates of
foreign law schools who want to enhance their understanding of the
American legal system and the English common law system from
which it evolved. Requirements for this degree are given in the
General Information section of this catalog.
The program begins with Introduction to American Law, a 4-credit
summer course that gives students a foundation in the American
legal process. It also helps students acclimate to the College of Law
and the University community before to the start of the academic
year. During the fall and spring terms, and with the director's
approval, students choose their remaining 22 credits from more
than 100 Juris Doctor and LL.M. in Taxation courses and seminars.
