Graduate Programs Taxation
Estate Planning
Real Property Development Requirements The Law School's graduate programs provide opportunities for advanced study, individual research, and specialization leading to the degree of Master of Laws (LL.M.) in taxation, estate planning, comparative law, inter-American law, international law, ocean and coastal law, and real property development. The number of credits and years required to earn a graduate degree depends upon the particular course of study. With the approval of the director of the graduate program in question, a student may transfer credits for graduate-level work from another accredited law school if the work was completed within four years prior to transfer (two years in the case of the LL.M. in taxation), and the student successfully completes one semester of graduate study at this Law School. Graduate degrees are conferred upon qualified students who have earned the required units of credit with an average of "C+" or better. Candidates engaged in outside employment for more than 15 hours per week may not enroll for more than 6 credits per semester without the approval of the director of the graduate program in question. Admission Admission requirements include a J.D. degree from an accredited U.S. law school or a law degree from a foreign law school and demonstrated ability to do graduate work. Foreign applicants whose native language is not English are required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Admission to the graduate programs is based on evidence of superior intellectual capacity and the strength of the applicant's law school and professional records. | |
