During their first semester in the program, all students are required to successfully complete a one-credit non-graded LLM Seminar as well as the foundational course, Child, Parent and State.

Because the LLM degree program is intended to allow students the flexibility to design their own program of advanced study based on their particular interests, no other courses in the curriculum are required with the exception of the LL.M. thesis/capstone project requirement. Instead, LLM students work closely with faculty to fashion a curricular plan most suited to their educational and professional goals.
