Law (LLM)

专业详情

The School of Law, established in 1893, provides a legal education for students who are fitted by their maturity and academic training to pursue professional study under University methods of instruction. The curriculum leading to the first professional degree in law, the Doctor of Jurisprudence (J.D.), constitutes an adequate preparation for the practice of law in any English-speaking jurisdiction. Graduate work leading to the degrees of Master of Laws (L.L.M.), Master of the Science of Law (J.S.M.), and Doctor of the Science of Law (J.S.D.), and a non-professional degree, Master of Legal Studies (M.L.S.), is also offered. For the full curriculum, see the Course Schedule & Description on the Law School web site. Stanford Law School offers joint or dual degree options in combination with other Stanford graduate departments and universities across the country; see the “Joint and Dual Degrees in Law” below.

Stanford Law School offers four LLM (Master of Laws) degrees, an LLM in Corporate Governance and Practice, an LLM in Environmental Law and Policy, an LLM in International Economic Law, Business and Policy, and an LLM in Law, Science and Technology. The LLM degree is awarded only to individuals who already hold a JD degree (or its equivalent).
