Pericles LL.M. Admissions Information Below you will find the timetable for applying and other important information regarding admissions. Admission Eligibility An LL.M. (Master of Laws) is a second degree in law. This program is open to those who have completed a law degree or are in their final year of their first law degree. On rare ocassions, business persons without law degrees but with strong legal backgrounds are accepted to the program. The program is designed especially for foreign, particularly Russian and other continentally trained lawyers, who are interested in some knowledge of American and common law legal methods. Because the course requirements reflect this intent, this program is not appropriate for U.S. lawyers seeking a second degree in U.S. law. Application Package You will need to submit the application package to be admitted into the LL.M. program. The following is a list of items necessary to be submitted before you will be considered:

Pre-requisite CourseFor those who are uncertain that their English ability is high enough to be admitted to or successfully complete the LL.M. prgram, we recommend Legal English. This course is designed to enhance speaking and writing abilities of law students, practicing lawyers, and other legal professionals. The focus of this course is on Anglo-Saxon legal terminology and principles. However, there is a heavy concentration on business law topics. You can expect to cover topics such as Sources of Law, Torts and Crimes, Contract Law, International Trade, Property, Debtor/Creditor Law, Commercial Paper & Corporations. If you wish to take this course your English should be upper-intermediate, as this course is also used to help give you the necessary English practice to allow you to study in advanced level courses. The results of your Pericles LL.M. entrance exam, as well as your personal statement will decide whether or not you will be required to take Legal English before taking courses in Pericles LL.M. Program. Many students take Legal English before applying to the LL.M. program in order to be better prepared for the entrance exam. The terminology covered in this course includes most of the terminology on the LL.M. entrance exam. Next Page: LL.M.
