Program

The University of Maine School of Law offers an LL.M. program, primarily intended for foreign students and practitioners who have earned a law degree outside the United States. Through a rigorous program of study, foreign students and practitioners will learn about many aspects of the U.S. legal system. Participants will design a curriculum suited to their individual needs and interests, and will be able to choose from advanced courses in specialized areas of law.


The LL.M. program normally will be completed in one academic year, which begins for all new students in late August. The program requires completion of 24 semester hours of credit. Upon successful completion of the program, students will be awarded with the LL.M. degree.


All foreign students will be required to take a core course on the American legal system, and at least one course in the first year J.D. curriculum. Outside of those two requirements, students can choose among upper level courses and specialty areas. While no thesis is required, students have freedom to pursue a variety of writing projects and applied research projects or fieldwork, depending on their interests.
