Full Profile

The Program

Seton Hall Law School offers multiple LLM programs to meet the needs of a diverse body of students. Foreign-trained attorneys seeking to practice law in the United States may pursue an LLM in American Law.

The Financial Services Compliance LLM and the Health Law LLM may be completed entirely online, in person, or a combination of both.
