Coming to UVA was one of the best decisions I’ve taken. The courses are very interesting, and the professors are among the best in the country. Definitely, UVA is a top school, and this will make the difference if you intend to stay to work in the US after your LLM Program. The city is amazing, and the people very nice. If you want to spend one year in a small but very exciting town, UVA is undoubtedly one of the best options. More
Virginia Law is recommending,
but not requiring, that international applicants
to our LL.M. or S.J.D. program register with
LSAC’s LL.M. Credential
Assembly Service (www.LLM.LSAC.org).
This service could
save you time and money, especially if you intend
to apply to a number of U.S. or Canadian graduate
law degree programs. You will only need to obtain
your transcripts and other required academic
credentials one time in order to make them available
for all of your law school applications. LSAC
will compile, authenticate, and distribute your
university records [and TOEFL score(s)—if
required]. Several reports to law schools are included in the registration fee. Additional reports will be distributed at an additional cost. You will be able to use this credential-processing
service to apply to participating U.S. and Canadian
law schools for a period of five years. For the
details about this service, go to www.LLM.LSAC.org.
Please note that you
must still complete the University of Virginia
School of Law’s application and
submit it along with letters of recommendation
and the $75 required application fee to the University
of Virginia School of Law. The LSAC service serves
only to authenticate non-U.S. or Canadian academic
credentials.
Please further note that the
University of Virginia School of Law will not be
participating in the Service Fee Reduction Request
feature of the LSAC LL.M. Credential Assembly Service.
Therefore, do not submit materials related
to a request for a reduction of this LSAC fee to
the University of Virginia School of Law.
Lastly, you will read on the
above-mentioned LSAC Web site that the University
of Virginia School of Law is one of the schools
that has minimum degree requirements for certain
countries that differ from those listed in the
booklet. The
University of Virginia School of Law requires
that an applicant hold the academic degree regarded
as his or her country’s first professional
degree in law (equivalent to the U.S. Juris Doctor
degree). Regarding French law degrees, we require
either the Maitrise en Droit or the Magistere
de Juriste. From the United Kingdom we will
consider an application where the bachelor degree
is in a non-law subject if the applicant has also
completed the two-year program at a college of
law required to qualify as a solicitor if one does
not have a first degree in law.
