Requirements

Students who hold a J.D. degree from a U.S. law school or the equivalent of a J.D. degree (e.g., an LL.B. degree or a B.A. degree in law) from a non-U.S. law school can apply to the LL.M. programs. In addition to completing an LL.M. application form, applicants must provide official transcripts from every post-secondary institution they attended or are currently attending. Transcripts not in English must be accompanied by a certified translation. Applicants must also submit two letters of recommendation, preferably from law school professors. The Graduate Admissions Committee places particular emphasis on letters from law school faculty who are familiar with the applicant's law school performance and from employers or colleagues who are familiar with the applicant's employment record, particularly but not exclusively in law. Please ask your references to place their recommendations in an envelope and sign their name over the seal. Applicants whose first language is not English must demonstrate English proficiency by taking the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). TOEFL scores must be dated within two years of prospective enrollment at UB Law School. The language requirement will, in many cases, be satisfied by a minimum TOEFL score of 100 (iBT). Applicants with TOEFL scores below 90 (iBT) will not be considered. Applicants should arrange to have an official TOEFL score report sent to UB Law School from the Educational Testing Service (ETS) using the Institutional Code Number 2925, "St. U. of NY at Buffalo.”
