Folks, good evening.

I am from Brazil and according to our educational system an overseas LL.M Degree will only be considered as a formal Masters in Law Degree if the student is able to write a final dissertation.

As I found out, many LL.M programs allow the student to do so, but it is necessary to get an approval from an academic supervisor.

Therefore, I would like to know how hard it is to get this approval from the academic supervisor.

Thanks in advance

Generally, a dissertation is part of the LLM, and in most universities, this is the task of the summer term. But I do not think that is "hard" to get an approval from your supervisor: at the end of the day, the aim of the research is that the student takes his responsability. But more precisely, that depends of *every* supervisor, and I do not think there is a general rule.
