Why study The U.S. Legal System?

The Master of Laws program is designed to introduce internationally trained lawyers to the U.S. legal system while providing students with the opportunity to design a course of study at Cincinnati Law that best advances their unique professional agendas. Graduates of the LLM program are better able to represent U.S. clients and are more prepared for negotiations and litigation with U.S. parties.

Students have the opportunity to focus on any of our nine Professional Pathways. LLM students have the option to earn a concentration in Business Law or International Legal Studies. UC Law also offers fellowships with the Ohio Innocence Project and through the Urban Morgan Institute for Human Rights.
