Graduate Division

Global 

As a close partner to the Graduate Division, the Hauser Global Law School Program (HGLSP) brings up to 20 leading law professors and judges from around the world to teach in our programs each year, in New York City and in Singapore. Known as Global Visiting Professors of Law, these scholars add their energy, insights and perspectives to our classroom. The HGLSP also initiates a large number of seminars, fora, colloquia, conferences and lectures featuring distinguished speakers from the worlds of the judiciary, practice, and academia. These events integrate our domestic and international students with our Global Faculty and many of our visiting fellows, researchers and scholars, allowing each group to profit from the Law School’s rich intellectual community.

The Graduate Division, comprised of the finest students from around the world, is integral to the New York University School of Law’s educational mission. Shortly after its founding in 1835, the Law School began awarding the Master of Laws degree. In 1945, we strengthened our commitment to graduate legal education by establishing the Graduate Tax Program, the first of its kind in the nation. NYU Law has since become a global community of scholars—at the forefront of U.S. law schools for placing the study of law in a global context. 

  • Graduate Admissions
    The Office of Graduate Admissions administers the application process for all of the Law School’s graduate programs (LL.M., Executive LL.M., J.S.D., M.S.L., and Advanced Professional Certificates). Prospective students interested in the Ph.D. in Law and Society apply to NYU’s Graduate School of Arts & Science.
  • Graduate Affairs
    The Office of Graduate Affairs advises current LL.M. students, as well as the foreign students in our exchange and diploma programs, on academic and procedural inquiries pertaining to course schedules, completion of requirements and earning the degree or diploma. The office also supports graduate students programmatically throughout their Law School stay, and aims to make their experience intellectually stimulating and personally rewarding. Current students in the M.S.L. in Law and Jewish Civilization may seek advisement from the Law School’s Tikvah Center.
  • Graduate Tax Program
    The Graduate Tax Program advises students on all matters related to academic progression and completion of requirements for the following academic programs: the LL.M. in Taxation and International Taxation, the Executive LL.M., and the Advanced Professional Certificate in Taxation. The office also coordinates events throughout the year for this population of graduate students, and handles the application process for the Tax Policy Fellowship for current J.D. students.
