Joint J.D./LL.M.

 
Recent events have made clear to all that our financial markets are more complex, globalized, and more interconnected than ever before. The need for highly trained attorneys in the financial services sector has never been greater.

The Joint J.D./LL.M. at New York Law School

Students applying to New York Law School, or those currently enrolled at New York Law School, may apply for a joint J.D./LL.M. degree program, which a full-time student may complete in as little as seven semesters. Alternatively, a joint J.D./LL.M. degree student can take the full 24- credit LL.M. in Financial Services Law and receive a tuition credit for the final eight credits of the degree program. The required course work must be approved by the LL.M. Program Director.

By applying to the joint J.D./LL.M. program, a student cannot only reduce the time and cost of the two degrees, but can also ensure admission to the LL.M. program while planning an integrated program of study from the beginning of his or her law school career.
