The one year LL.M. program at Virginia Law has been the most rewarding experience of my life.

The small size of the program enables LL.M.s to be fully integrated into the academic community.  We are privileged to choose whatever class that interests us just as the J.D. students here do.  This academic integration allows you to get real insight into U.S. legal education in one of the best law schools in the U.S. and across the world.  Cold calls, voluntary class participation, group discussions, and group projects are enlightening, but nevertheless challenging in the sense that your competitors are J.D. students, not LL.M.s.

Academic Information

Intellectual life is the heart of any great academic institution. At Virginia, law in its origins, impact and implications is analyzed and debated in classes, workshops, lecture programs, student organizations, and informal faculty-student exchanges. Faculty members meet with and mentor students, exploring ideas and fostering understanding and creative scholarship. Interdisciplinary thinking comes naturally at Virginia, with a third of the law faculty holding advanced degrees in fields such as psychology, economics, philosophy, history, medicine, and the social study of science and technology. In addition to the vibrant exchanges that develop freely in a community of accomplished scholars and superlative students, the Law School also promotes debate and discussion through several targeted programs.
