Law, LLM

Our Master of Laws (LLM) Program provides U.S. and international law graduates with the opportunity to gain advanced, specialized legal training. We accept applicants who have earned a law degree from outside the U.S., such as a bachelor’s degree in law (LL.B), and applicants who have earned the Juris Doctor (JD) degree in the U.S. LLM students are fully integrated within the Richardson Law School Community and enjoy the flexibility to design their own curriculum. LLM students may choose to pursue a General LLM or an LLM with a Specialization. Though a U.S. JD is generally required to take the Hawaiʻi Bar, students may take courses that will help prepare them to take bar exams in the other states with other requirements.

Students must complete 24 credits to obtain an LLM degree. The Law School offers a significant number of advanced courses, as well as opportunities for supervised research projects and up to six (6) graduate-level (600 and above) credits may be taken from other UH departments with approval.
