It examines the role of state law and state courts in the American system of federalism. The course also studies the American judicial processes of constitutional analyses, interpretation of statues, and development of common law. Some attention is paid to court procedures, including trial by jury. Finally, students study a few topics that are illustrative of the treatment of individual rights in American law, such as freedom of speech, anti-discrimination law, and protection of private property. The class grants two credits towards the American Law degree.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW AM 700 A1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div><em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW AM 700 B1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div><em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW AM 700 L1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div><em><span>SPRG 2027:<\/span> <span>LAW AM 700 A1,<\/span> <span>Jan 11th to Apr 21st 2027<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Mon<\/td>\n\t<td>4:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>6:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/marni-goldstein-caputo\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Marni Goldstein Caputo<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div><em><span>SPRG 2027:<\/span> <span>LAW AM 700 L2,<\/span> <span>Jan 11th to Apr 21st 2027<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Thu<\/td>\n\t<td>4:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>6:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/donna-palermino\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Donna Palermino<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-LE-653\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW LE 653<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">LEGAL REASONING<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">6 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW LE 653<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tLEGAL REASONING\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">6 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">This course will assist students in developing legal reasoning and analysis skills necessary to succeed in BU Law's LL.M. programs. Students will learn how language works in legal decisions; how to read and interpret those judicial decisions and apply them to complex hypotheticals using analogical and rule-based reasoning. Through this process students will develop academic and legal vocabulary, conversation and presentation skills, and strengthen reading comprehension.

It is specifically designed to introduce foreign lawyers to the basic principles of American legal writing. In small class settings and individual conferences, students receive guidance on drafting and editing memoranda and agreements. Their work is critiqued and rewritten. The research component of the seminar trains students to locate cases, statutes and secondary material through indexing systems and the latest computer technology. Research assignments are integrated into writing assignments -- exposing students to the methods of US legal analyses -- so that by the end of the term, students obtain the skills needed to write memoranda appropriate for submission to US law firms. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW AM 704 A1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Wed<\/td>\n\t<td>9:00 am<\/td>\n\t<td>10:15 am<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/nadine-nasser-donovan\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Nadine Nasser Donovan<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div><em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW AM 704 B1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Wed<\/td>\n\t<td>9:00 am<\/td>\n\t<td>10:15 am<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/benjamin-shorey\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Benjamin Shorey<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div><em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW AM 704 C1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Wed<\/td>\n\t<td>2:10 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3:25 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td>Niles<\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div><em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW AM 704 D1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Wed<\/td>\n\t<td>4:30 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>5:45 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/christina-r-schaper\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Christina R.

Students in the course will acquire effective reading strategies, enhance vocabulary skills, practice listening, write persuasively using appropriate grammar and revise work based on instructor feedback, and develop oral fluency and accuracy and hone pronunciation. Students will work on expanding general skills using course materials that cover many topics including current policy and legal issues in the U.S., the American legal system, and how history and social issues have shaped the American legal system. Students will also be challenged to think critically, a key skill for future law students and lawyers. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW LE 650 A1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Wed<\/td>\n\t<td>10:40 am<\/td>\n\t<td>12:05 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>6<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/brooke-arlington\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Brooke Arlington<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr><tr>\n\t<td>Tue,Thu<\/td>\n\t<td>9:00 am<\/td>\n\t<td>10:25 am<\/td>\n\t<td>6<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/brooke-arlington\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Brooke Arlington<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr><tr>\n\t<td>Mon<\/td>\n\t<td>2:40 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>4:05 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>6<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/brooke-arlington\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Brooke Arlington<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div><em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW LE 650 A2,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Wed<\/td>\n\t<td>12:25 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>1:50 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>6<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/brooke-arlington\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Brooke Arlington<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr><tr>\n\t<td>Tue,Thu<\/td>\n\t<td>10:40 am<\/td>\n\t<td>12:05 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>6<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/brooke-arlington\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Brooke Arlington<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr><tr>\n\t<td>Mon<\/td>\n\t<td>4:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>5:45 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>6<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/brooke-arlington\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Brooke Arlington<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Two-Year LLM students also take LAW SL 697S Academic Skills for the International Lawyer, except for those in the LLM in Banking and Financial Law program, who take LAW BK 904 Financial Services Fundamentals.

Some return to their former employers, while others begin internships before joining their home&nbsp;country&#8217;s&nbsp;bar. Many other graduates leverage their BU Law degrees to find new positions in their home countries, often by participating in the International Student Interview Program (ISIP) that takes place each January in New York\u2014BU Law is one of the few schools invited to participate. A smaller number of students find permanent work in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left\" id=\"curriculum-practicum-training-cpt\" data-menu=\"Curriculum Practicum Training (CPT)\">Curriculum Practicum Training (CPT)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One unique feature of the Two-Year LLM program is its incorporation of Curriculum Practical Training (CPT), which provides students on F-1 visas with invaluable opportunities to gain practical work experience in the second year of study. CPT allows students to engage in internships, externships, or other work placements that align with their academic and career goals. By working alongside legal professionals in real-world settings, students can apply the knowledge and skills acquired during their first year of coursework to tackle complex legal issues, hone their professional judgment, and develop a deep understanding of the practical application of American law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This hands-on experience not only enhances students&#8217; legal acumen but also helps them build a professional network, gain exposure to different areas of law, and make informed decisions about their future career paths. The inclusion of CPT in the Two-Year LLM program offers students a unique advantage in their journey to becoming well-rounded legal practitioners. Students will be required to hold weekly check-ins with a designated faculty member and complete a short reflection piece as part of the CPT opportunity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left\" id=\"optional-practical-training\" data-menu=\"Optional Practical Training\">Optional Practical Training<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Graduates may seek to stay in the United States for a period of time after graduation\u2014as permitted under visa regulations\u2014to obtain practical work experience in a firm, company, or other organization. As an internationally trained LLM graduate, finding short-term, post-graduation work in the United States can be challenging, but it is not impossible; each year some students secure positions in the United States for up to a year and beyond.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout your time at BU, you will be guided and supported by a full-time associate director for professional development dedicated solely to LLM career issues. The associate director will assist you in identifying opportunities, preparing for interviews, and presenting yourself to the US legal market. Many LLM students find internships through connections from their home countries; you are encouraged to arrive in the United States with a list of connections to explore if you want to pursue an internship after Commencement.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left\" id=\"taking-a-us-bar-exam\" data-menu=\"Taking a US Bar Exam\">Taking a US Bar Exam<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many Two-Year LLM students have the goal of passing a US state bar exam. While the Two-Year LLM Program is not specifically designed to prepare students to take a state bar exam in the United States, the program\u2019s flexible curriculum will enable you to design a course of study leading to a high-level understanding of the US legal system. The Director and Associate Director of International Graduate Programs are available to meet with students to design a study plan that balances bar preparation with other areas of interest. Each state has its own rules regarding the eligibility of internationally trained lawyers to sit for the bar exam; you should visit the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.americanbar.org\/\">American Bar Association\u2019s website<\/a>&nbsp;to learn about the requirements in each state. The current rules in New York, Massachusetts, and a handful of other states allow certain LLM students to sit for the exam under specified conditions. Each year, a majority of LLM students take the New York or Massachusetts bar exam after Commencement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"is-style-wide\">\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left\" id=\"why-pursue-a-two-year-llm\" data-menu=\"Why Pursue a Two-Year LLM?\">Why Pursue a Two-Year LLM?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\" bu-callout alignleft\">\n<img src=\"\/law\/files\/2026\/03\/faculty-thumbnail.jpg\">\n<h3>Depth of Study<\/h3>\n<p>With an extended duration, students have more time to take classes in specialized legal areas, conduct thorough research, and explore complex topics.
