Master of Laws (LL.M.)
The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law is pleased to announce a new Master of Laws (LL.M.) Program for foreign lawyers. We welcomed our first class in August 2007.
The Moritz LL.M. program is designed for foreign lawyers who wish to advance their legal education in a stimulating academic environment. The College offers the dual advantages of a highly-regarded law curriculum (Moritz is ranked in the top ten of all public institution law schools by U.S. News & World Reports) at a major U.S. university and a LL.M. program of limited size that allows for individualized attention and support.
Two of the program’s primary goals are to immerse foreign lawyers in a year of U.S. legal education and to foster interaction between American J.D. students and the LL.M. students. In large part this is accomplished by integrating the LL.M students into the J.D. curriculum, ensuring that both groups will benefit from the interaction and graduate from their respective programs well prepared to participate in an increasingly globalized world.
Moritz also offers a rich selection of student activities outside the classroom where LL.M. students may participate in the life of the College.
Ohio State’s LL.M. program offers students an opportunity to select their courses from a rich and diverse curriculum. Students may choose a generalized study of U.S. law or may tailor their courses to fit specialized interests and career objectives. Students have an option to elect a concentration in Business Law, Intellectual Property, International and comparative Law, or Dispute Resolution, or they may design a customized concentration.
