Hello everyone!

I am a French exchange student pursuing a "Licence de Droit". I am pursuing my third year in an exchange program at the University of Arizona and will graduate in May.

My exchange opened my eyes to the opportunities I have to pursue my legal career in the United States. As such, I was wondering if my "Licence" renders me eligible to pursue an LLM program, or do I absolutely need a "Master 1 (M1)" to be eligible?

I know the LSAC requires a "Maitrise" or "Bac +4". Problem: the "Maitrise" is not recognized in France anymore since it was replaced by the European "LMD" system.

Thus, is there a wiggle room for me to gamble and apply to an LLM?

Thank you for your precious answer.

Hi !

You can enroll in an LLM after your M1 ! Many students do so.
