Iowa's Masters of Laws (LLM)

Each year the College of Law admits about 15 students to pursue studies leading to the LLM degree. The program is specifically designed for: (1) foreign-trained jurists who seek a comparative introduction to and specific training in United States law and legal institutions and (2) foreign-trained jurists or graduates of JD programs here in the United States who wish to deepen their understanding of international and comparative law, including the law pertaining to international business transactions. The LLM program is deliberately kept small so that each student can receive substantial attention from the faculty. Therefore, admission is competitive.

Since 1990, candidates for the Master of Laws (LLM) degree have included lawyers from Albania, Armenia, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Canada, the Republic of China (Taiwan), the People's Republic of China, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Eritrea, France, Germany, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, the Israeli-Occupied Territories/Palestine, Japan, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Lithuania, Mexico, New Zealand, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Russia, South Korea, Spain, Sudan, Syria, Thailand, Turkey, Uganda, Ukraine, United States, Uruguay, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe.
