Virginia's LL.M. program offers a one-year, full-time master of laws degree completed on campus over two semesters. Rather than following a fixed curriculum, the program allows LL.M. students to tailor their legal studies to their individual interests. Participants must enroll in at least 12 credit hours each semester and complete a minimum of 24 credit hours to graduate. LL.M. candidates have access to nearly all courses available at Virginia Law. To qualify, applicants must hold their nation's equivalent of a first professional law degree (comparable to a U.S. Juris Doctor). LSAC provides a country-specific chart outlining minimum degree prerequisites for program admission. If your degree or country isn't listed, please reach out to the Graduate Studies Office to determine your eligibility based on your legal background. The chart represents baseline requirements only; applicants should disclose all postsecondary education, including any academic work undertaken before or after obtaining the listed minimum degree.

Applicants are required to complete and submit an electronic application with required attachments through the Law School Admission Council (LSAC) website. Most scholarship assistance provided by the Graduate Studies Program is awarded on a combined basis of academic merit and need. Admissions decisions are made independently from any request for financial assistance.
Official Transcripts - Applicants must submit transcripts and proof of degree documents from all prior colleges, law schools, exchange programs or graduate schools attended, even if the applicant did not graduate from that institution.
Applicants must register with the LSAC Document Assembly Service. In addition to the LL.M. Document Assembly Service, internationally educated applicants must register for the LSAC International Transcript Authentication and Evaluation service. Do not send your academic transcripts directly to the Office of Graduate Studies.
The Law School requires applicants to submit letters through the LSAC Letter of Recommendation service. This service is included with your LL.M. CAS subscription. Letters submitted through LSAC are sent to us along with your CAS law school report and can be read online immediately. Updated reports are sent immediately if letters are received after your initial CAS law school report has been sent.
