Many foreign law graduates are interested in pursuing a US Master of Laws (LLM) degree but find themselves overwhelmed with the mass of disorganized information spread across the Internet. Deciding to apply for, selecting, and finally pursuing an LLM program can be broken down into simple to follow steps that will make the process so much easier. This book shows you how.

It’s a simple and straightforward guide intended to get you through the process of selecting and applying for an LLM program as efficiently and effectively as possible. This book provides worksheets and easy to follow step-by-step instructions to walk you through the process — from choosing a school and program to submitting your application and awaiting a response.

The book is divided into four straightforward parts:

• Part I discusses basic issues you should consider before determining whether an LLM is right for you;
• Part II discusses the timing of when should you pursue your LLM degree and the process of choosing a law school and a program;
• Part III walks you through the application process; and
• Part IV explains what happens after you submit your application.
