Four required courses form the foundation of our LLM program. More than 20 elective courses round out the curriculum and allow students to gain broad exposure to IT and privacy law and policy or focus on a specialized area such as transactional law, global commerce, litigation, criminal law/law enforcement; corporate and IT management, consumer privacy or corporate privacy and security.

Continuing Legal Education credit is available for the successful completion of LLM-level courses. Most courses are pre-approved for ethics as well as regular CLE credit.
LLM applicants must be admitted to the practice of law in the United States or a foreign jurisdiction, or have graduated from an ABA-approved or foreign law school. Additional requirements apply to foreign applicants. Students enrolled in the JD program at The John Marshall Law School may apply for admission to a joint JD/LLM program.
