“The Moritz LL.M. program is designed for foreign lawyers who wish to advance their legal education in a stimulating academic environment. The college offers the dual advantages of a highly-regarded law curriculum at a major U.S. university and a LL.M. program of limited size that allows for individualized attention and support. Two of the program's primary goals are to immerse foreign lawyers in a year of U.S. legal education and to foster interaction between American J.D. students and the LL.M. students. In large part this is accomplished by integrating the LL.M. students into the J.D. curriculum, ensuring that both groups will benefit from the interaction and graduate from their respective programs well prepared to participate in an increasingly globalized world.”

Das einjährige LL.M.-Studium dient dem Erwerb vertiefter Fachkenntnisse im Deutschen Recht. Ziel des zweijährigen M.LL.P.-Studiums ist die Vermittlung theoretischer und praktischer Kenntnisse des deutschen und europäischen Rechts.”

“Since our founding in 1929, Boston College Law School has earned an international reputation for educational excellence and the highest standards of professionalism. Our LL.M. program immerses participants in the intricacies and flavor of the United States legal system, and prepares them for the challenges of work in an increasingly global legal environment. Students design their own course of study from BC Law’s extensive curriculum, including both introductory and advanced courses. Because our LL.M. program is small and highly selective, students receive an unusual amount of individual attention. At the same time, they are full members of a broader community of future leaders in legal practice, government, NGOs, the judiciary, law teaching, and industry.”

“The LL.M. Program at USC Law School is a master's degree program for students trained in law outside the U.S. The program introduces outstanding foreign lawyers to American law and the U.S. legal system and prepares them for leadership roles in the global market.

The program runs from August through May. In addition, students can enroll in the USC Summer Law & English Program, a four-week program that helps students prepare for their LL.M. program with basics of American law and English language instruction.”

So far, students not only from Germany, but also from Austria, China, Finland, Greece, Poland, Puerto Rico and Spain have taken part. The students from the past years are organized in the EULISP-alumni, which holds regular meetings and is an excellent networking platform.”
