“Since our founding in 1929, Boston College Law School has earned an international reputation for educational excellence and the highest standards of professionalism. Our LL.M. program immerses participants in the intricacies and flavor of the United States legal system, and prepares them for the challenges of work in an increasingly global legal environment. Students design their own course of study from BC Law’s extensive curriculum, including both introductory and advanced courses. Because our LL.M. program is small and highly selective, students receive an unusual amount of individual attention. At the same time, they are full members of a broader community of future leaders in legal practice, government, NGOs, the judiciary, law teaching, and industry.”

“The LL.M. in United States Law is a one-year program of study open to a small, highly selective group of foreign-trained lawyers and other graduates of non-U.S. law schools. With a student body of about 390, W&L Law is easily one of the smallest of the nation's top-tier national law schools. What does that mean for a student's legal education? It means bright, motivated students. It means a student-faculty ratio of 11-to-1, and an average class size of 22. It means constant opportunities for meaningful exchange, critical thinking, and mentoring. It means an education respected throughout the legal profession, and that means good jobs. In short, it means everything. ”
