Since its inception in 1998, over 450 people have earned a Cardozo LL.M. Here are some of the reasons why:
- A flexible, varied, and challenging curriculum
Three programs for diverse interests:
The
General Studies LL.M. is distinctive in its flexibility and breadth of offerings, enabling students to design their own curriculum to match individual goals and interests.
The
Intellectual Property Law LL.M. is the capstone to Cardozo’s IP program, ranked among the nation’s strongest.
The
Comparative Legal Thought LL.M. is a unique program which capitalizes on Cardozo’s strength in legal theory, philosophy, jurisprudence, law and literature, religion, and comparative constitutionalism.
- A vibrant community of students, faculty, staff and alumni
Cardozo’s LL.M. Program boasts a vibrant and engaged community of students, faculty, staff and alumni.
Each year, approximately 75 students begin LL.M. studies at Cardozo joining over 1100 diverse and dynamic J.D. candidates. Cardozo’s faculty is extraordinary—prolific, accessible, and defining the cutting edge of legal research and education. The entire alumni community is available to Cardozo LL.M. students as mentors, for networking and career advice.
In a supportive environment characterized by personal attention, LL.M. students enjoy targeted lectures and events, a buddy system matching incoming and current students, a graduate law society, and an administrative staff dedicated to the special concerns of graduate students.
As members of the Cardozo community, our graduate students develop personal and professional bonds with colleagues around the world that will last a lifetime.
