Competition for the 210 spots in the entering class is high. When we review files, our question is this: is a candidate ready to meet the intellectual challenges of our program? The admissions committee evaluates each applicant's file, looking carefully at the candidate's undergraduate grade-point average and LSAT score as well as other, nonquantitative factors, such as level and difficulty of undergraduate course work, writing ability, and work experience. We offer a full-time program but are able to accommodate students who may require more flexibility in their class schedules.
Our Masters of Laws (LL.M.) degrees are a one-year, full-time program, designed to give graduates of foreign law schools an opportunity to study the United States legal system and international law and trade, and to become truly capable lawyers in the 21st century.
