Graduate Programs

The Graduate Division of New York University School of Law is among the largest and most intellectually diverse in the nation. In addition to the general LL.M. program, there are specialized graduate programs in corporation, international legal studies, labor and employment law, public service law, trade regulation, taxation, and international taxation. The J.S.D. program gives students considerable flexibility within certain defined parameters. Lastly, our Advanced Professional Certificate programs in Taxation and Law & Business provide graduate training without the requirements of our degree programs.

The general goal of graduate studies in law is to enable students who have already earned a first degree in law (J.D. or LL.B.) to enhance their theoretical understanding and to develop their professional skills to the fullest degree. The graduate programs draw particular strength from their close relationship to the J.D. program: graduate students take courses with J.D. students, and the resulting exchange of ideas is beneficial for both groups. The Graduate Division also benefits from the Law School's location in New York City, which makes it possible to attract distinguished faculty from an exceptionally broad range of specialization. Graduate students in all specialties take a combination of required and elective courses, including traditional classes and seminars. Successful completion of an LL.M. degree qualifies foreign attorneys to take the New York Bar examination.
