Overview
Key Features
The Laws program from Emory University is designed to meet the needs of students pursuing their second degree in law. Students holding a US Juris Doctorate pursue the LLM to specialize in a particular field of study. Students holding a foreign law degree pursue the LLM degree to learn U.S. law, and, in some cases, prepare for a US licensing exam.
Students can structure a curriculum around their interests, either through a general course of study or by focusing on one of Emory Law's many areas of strength. We offer a world-class faculty, a diverse student body, a sophisticated and dynamic urban setting, practical opportunities to apply legal theory and skills, and a global alumni network.
