About the LLM Program
The LLM Program in American Law is a one-year program of study for international lawyers and students who have law degrees from institutions in their home countries who wish to enhance their legal careers by studying the laws of the United States. Our graduates typically return to their home countries to resume or advance their legal careers in corporate law, public policy, litigation, public service, investment banking, and a wide range of other specialties related to international law. The program is not designed to prepare students to take U.S. bar exams or to practice in the United States.
Our program is a full-time program, beginning in the fall semester. We offer small classes that include both American JD students and LLM students, a supportive mentoring program, a number of special opportunities, and the talents of Wake Forest's dedicated faculty.
