The LL.M. in Global Legal Studies is for the prospective student with a foreign law degree. This program prepares students to work with or across from U.S. counsel in a variety of transactions or disputes. Washburn Law’s program consists of three broad areas or “tracks,” which offer specialization in corporate and commercial law; public law; and legal analysis, writing , and advocacy. LL.M. students work with the faculty program director to select courses consistent with individual interests and objectives. LL.M. students take classes alongside students enrolled in the J.D. program and develop relationships with future American lawyers.

Proof of English Proficiency

Proficiency in English is a requirement for all LL.M. candidates. Foreign students who speak English as a first language, or who obtained a law degree at an institution with instruction in English, may have the Test of English as a Foreign Language requirement waived. All other students must submit a TOEFL score report or an equivalent test. Each application will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. When necessary, a student may be required to attend English language classes prior to and/or during their enrollment.
