Since its
inception in 1998, over 400 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 1000 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.
Cardozo Law School boasts
beautiful, modern, renovated facilities including a new Center for Student
Life, new residence hall, technologically-enhanced classrooms and a
state-of-the-art library with 520,000 print and electronic resources.
Located
between historic Greenwich Village and bustling Union Square, Cardozo’s location provides
easy access to some of the world’s best restaurants, nightlife,
theater, and art. We are also able to take advantage of New York City’s unique
concentration of prominent practicing lawyers to deliver to our students a
wealth of law-related activities and opportunities inside the classroom and
out.
