Application
All prospective students applying to the Graduate Division for any program, whether interested in study in New York City, in Singapore, or online, must submit an online application and abide by all policies described in the application instructions.
All prospective students applying to the LL.M., E-LL.M., J.S.D., and A.P.C. programs are required to use the Law School Admission Council (LSAC) LL.M. Credential Assembly Service, which includes the NYU Law Electronic Application ($60 application fee).
The Committee on Graduate Admissions requires applicants with domestic education credentials (those who hold, or are earning, a J.D. from a law school in the U.S. or Puerto Rico) to complete and submit the NYU Law Electronic Application via the LSAC website, and to purchase the Document Assembly Service.
The Committee requires applicants with foreign education credentials (those who earned their first law degree outside of the U.S.) to complete and submit the NYU Electronic Application via the LSAC website, and to purchase both the Document Assembly Service and the International Transcript Authentication and Evaluation Service.

NYU Direct Application
The Committee on Graduate Admissions recognizes the benefits and convenience that the LL.M. Credential Assembly Service provides to applicants. Comparing the total costs of applying individually to multiple law schools (obtaining multiple sets of official transcripts and translations, and ordering multiple official TOEFL score reports) to the fees associated with the centralized LL.M. Credential Assembly Service (which involves sending only one set of the materials to LSAC), applicants may find the LSAC fees reasonable for the convenience the service provides. Nevertheless, the Committee understands that there may be applicants for whom the LL.M. Credential Assembly Service fees represent a significant financial burden. These applicants may apply directly to NYU Law ($95 direct application fee) using the NYU Direct Application.
