The Master of Laws in American Law Practice (LLM) program is designed for internationally educated lawyers seeking to expand, refresh, or specialize their legal expertise.
Participants in the American Law Practice track join regular JD courses at Denver Law, gaining full exposure to the U.S. legal education system. The curriculum prioritizes intimate class settings to ensure personalized guidance, fostering academic achievement and career growth.
Important notice: While the LLM in American Legal Practice may help qualify graduates for the Colorado bar exam, ultimate approval rests with the Colorado Supreme Court, not the University of Denver Sturm College of Law. Applicants should carefully examine the admission rules on the Colorado Supreme Court's website. Notably, civil law graduates face distinct requirements compared to common law graduates when seeking Colorado bar eligibility.
