Master of Laws (LLM)

The general LLM's dynamic co-op program provides the most flexibility for students to take the courses they want in pursuit of their professional interests and personal aspirations. Many LLM students also choose the general program to qualify for a bar examination in one of the United States jurisdictions (Massachusetts or New York, for example) that admit lawyers trained outside the U.S. Whether you are a U.S. or internationally trained lawyer looking for individualized professional growth or to become a candidate for a U.S. bar exam, Northeastern’s general program offers what you need to do what you want: to advance your professional goals and to make a difference in the world.

The Northeastern LLM program features five optional concentrations:

• A concentration in Health Policy and Law to equip you with the knowledge and practical skills you need for one of today’s hottest practice areas
• A concentration in Human Rights to prepare you to take on the global challenge of rights abuses
• A concentration in International Business Law to aid you to practice in the complex and constantly evolving world of business across national borders
• A concentration in Law and Economic Development to position yourself as a lawyer working in support of economic development
