LL.M. Overview

General LL.M. Admissions

The master of laws (LL.M.) degree at Cornell Law School is a one-year program designed for practicing attorneys and recent law school graduates who have earned a first degree in law outside the United States. Through the General LL.M. program, students increase their understanding of American legal principles and can further develop a legal specialization.
“The relatively small size of the school and the classes, and the connections formed there have had a longstanding effect on me.”
Fouad Debs, LLM Graduate

Your #CornellGivingDay support helps students RIGHT NOW. Our students are heading to NYC tonight to work with asylum seekers and Catholic Charities. #CornellLawClinics
"One of the greatest barriers to attending law school is the financial burden of tuition. Scholarships help open the door to law school for people who lack such substantial means. Without Cornell alumni's generous contributions, law school would be substantially more difficult. Knowing that I have financial support helps take the stress off of paying bills, and refocuses my attention on my studies. Thank you to all the alumni who contribute."
