Overview

This means that students have the flexibility to create their own programs. Law students at University of Chicago often put together course and seminar schedules that reflect certain practice specialties such as corporate/securities, intellectual property, antitrust/regulation of business or commercial transactions.

Key Features

Most, however, also add offerings in areas like constitutional law, legal theory, law and economics, and comparative law to round out their academic experience.

Other than an optional LLM writing course and two optional substantive courses designed specifically for LLM students in contracts and constitutional law, there are no courses in the curriculum just for LLM students. Most LLM students will have all of their classes with students in the JD program.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

There is no dissertation or major paper requirement in the LLM Program. However, the strong orientation of the faculty toward research provides students with unusually good opportunities and LLM students often do independent research projects or major seminar papers with members of the faculty.
