Master of Laws (LLM) Program
Emory Law’s LLM program offers graduates of U.S. and foreign law schools the opportunity to pursue the master of laws from one of the top nationally ranked law schools in the United States.
LLM students may choose from among three broad tracks: a traditional LLM designed around a student’s particular interests and expertise and drawing from the breadth of Emory’s curriculum in health law, intellectual property, international law, and other areas; an LLM in one of six formal concentrations developed by the Emory Law faculty; or a joint LLM program with Central European University in Budapest, Hungary.
LLM Program Options:
- LLM (in an area of specialization defined by the student and built on relevant courses and faculty expertise, including in health law, intellectual property, international law, tax law and others)
- LLM Concentrations
- Joint LLM with Central European University (with focus on international commercial law and international politics)
How to Apply
Students interested in applying to the LLM program should complete the online application available through LSAC.

Doctor of Juridical Science (SJD)
In addition to the Master of Laws, Emory Law offers the Doctor of Juridical Science (SJD). Two options are available: a general SJD, which offers students the opportunity to study with one or more faculty experts in an area of specialization of interest to the student, or the SJD concentration in law and religion, offered jointly by Emory Law and Emory University’s Center for the Study of Law and Religion.

Joint JD/LLM
For U.S. students interested in pursuing a juris doctor and master of laws, Emory Law offers a joint-degree program with a focus in international law. The student completes one application (for the JD program) and indicates an interest in continuing into the LLM program after completing the JD. Students admitted to the joint-degree program must fulfill the requirements for both degrees to receive the JD and LLM.
