J.D./LL.M. In Taxation

New York University School of Law allows J.D. students from the NYU School of Law and other accredited American law schools the opportunity to obtain the J.D. and LL.M. in Taxation degrees in a total of seven full-time academic semesters. The requirements for the LL.M. in Taxation for these joint degree students are generally the same as for students matriculating for the LL.M. degree after completing a J.D. program. The one semester reduction through this program is accomplished by giving credit for graduate tax courses taken at NYU School of Law as a J.D. student toward the LL.M. in Taxation degree.

Students participating in the J.D./LL.M. program must complete at least 12 credits of study as matriculated NYU School of Law LL.M. students after completion of the J.D. degree. During this post-J.D. degree period, these students are considered LL.M. students at the Law School, and are subject to the rules and regulations of NYU School of Law applicable to LL.M. students.

Candidates for this degree program must submit a Transfer/Nonmatriculant application. The application deadline is April 1.
