Overview

While we strongly recommend that you apply to and be admitted into the J.D./LL.M. program at St. John's University before taking any LL.M. in Bankruptcy courses, LL.M. courses completed before you apply may count toward your LL.M. degree if you are later admitted into the LL.M. program.

Key Features

Indeed, as long as you are admitted into the LL.M. program within two years after graduating from the J.D. program, any LL.M. courses you completed as a J.D. student will count toward the requirements for your LL.M. in Bankruptcy degree.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

Other requirements

General requirements

You may apply for admission to the joint degree program at any time after you have completed 54 J.D. credit hours (the equivalent of two years of J.D. coursework), including at least one introductory bankruptcy course (the St. John’s Creditors’ Rights course or an equivalent course at another law school).

Applications may be obtained from the LL.M.office or the program website (listed below). There is no deadline and your application will be processed as soon as it is complete.

However, if you attend a school other than St. John’s, please apply well in advance of the semester you wish to matriculate so that there will be time to obtain necessary approvals from your Dean and make any necessary student loan and housing arrangements.

If you are not a St. John’s student, you must also submit a letter from your Dean stating that our credits will be accepted for transfer for your J.D. degree.
