Each applicant must submit a personal statement with their application that describes their past and present activities, as well as their plans upon completion of the LL.M. program.

We require two letters of recommendation which should be sent directly to the Office of International Law and Policy by the recommendor.
4. Transcripts.
Applicants should arrange to have transcripts of all prior legal study and pre-legal study submitted to the Office of International Law and Policy. All applicants who have done academic work at foreign institutions must provide original academic records and officially certified English translation of the original records. In addition, please submit official information on the grading system and the applicants' class ranking (if available).
5. TOEFL.
The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required of all applicants who are not native speakers of English or who did not receive their legal education at an institution which uses English as the primary language of instruction. Successful applicants to the LL.M. program typically have a TOEFL score of approximately 600 on the paper based test, 250 on the computer based test, or 100 on the internet based test. The TOEFL may be waived at the discretion of the Admissions Committee for applicants for whom English has been the primary language of instruction in prior study or who can otherwise substantiate their English proficiency.
The Law School Admission Test (LSAT) is not required of applicants applying for the LL.M. Programs.
An application is complete only when all of the documents described above have been received.
