Graduate Studies Overview
BU Law has offered a post-graduate legal education leading to the Master of Laws degree for approximately 120 years.
- The LL.M. in American Law Program provides foreign-trained lawyers with a basic grounding in American law and the U.S. legal system by integrating them into the J.D. curriculum.
- The Graduate Program in Banking and Financial Law, the first program of its kind in the U.S., prepares international and domestic lawyers for work with public and private clients in the new global financial markets through a curriculum devoted solely to the study of banking and financial services law.
- The LL.M. in Intellectual Property Program is open to domestic and international lawyers who wish to take advantage of the School’s extraordinary strength in intellectual property teaching.
- The Graduate Tax Program, established in 1959 as one of the first of its kind in the nation, leads to the LL.M. in Taxation degree. Open to both U.S. and foreign educated lawyers who may attend on either a part-time or full-time basis, the program offers an extremely broad and diverse curriculum that allows students, if they wish, to concentrate in a sub-specialty of tax law.
