“Are you prepared to touch the world?”
Indiana Law has been granting graduate degrees to international lawyers for more than a century.
Each year, we admit about 60 to 70 new graduate students. We’re one of the largest graduate legal programs in the Big Ten, and we exclusively recruit the best international students from around the world, from countries that include China, Thailand, Taiwan, and Korea, home to our four largest alumni groups overseas, as well as Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, and Turkey, among many others.
Indiana Law’s top-tier graduate programs—which are primarily for international students—provide many opportunities for students to work closely with distinguished professors who are experts in many domestic and transnational fields.
Our distinguished alumni are a valuable support network for our current graduate students. These alumni have prominent positions as law professors, judges, government officials, business leaders, and practicing attorneys around the world.
Indiana Law offers the following graduate legal programs:
For more information about any of our graduate programs, see our graduate degree requirements page.
The faculty of the IU Maurer School of Law recognizes that many students who apply for the LLM and MCL degrees also plan to complete additional degrees at the Law School or elsewhere to prepare for careers in their home countries.
As a result, the faculty revised the total credit hours required for the LLM Practicum and the MCL beginning with students who matriculate in the 2010-2011 academic year, including classes taken in summer 2010. The new, adjusted credit hours are noted in connection with each degree to which they apply in various locations on this Web site.
Indiana Law’s LLM degree is primarily for international students and is our most popular graduate degree option. This degree requires at least one academic year in residence. We currently offer both thesis and non-thesis degree options.
Indiana Law’s MCL is a 20-credit, two-semester program that offers foreign law students an opportunity to gain familiarity with American law and legal institutions.
Indiana Law’s SJD is for international law graduates who already hold an LLM degree and who have demonstrated exceptional analytical and research abilities.
Indiana University offers an interdisciplinary PhD in law and social science. Previous students have collaborated with the School of Public and Environmental Affairs, the Department of Political Science, and area studies programs such as Central Eurasian Studies.
The doctoral degree is granted by the law school and is administered by the Center for Constitutional Democracy (CCD). The Law and Democracy Program allows students to learn about the role of law in new and fragile democracies through coursework and experience in the field, training in the law and the social sciences, and comparative analyses of the experience of the United States and other countries. Through the CCD, students have a unique opportunity to work directly and regularly with foreign reform leaders to support constitutional democracy. More detailed information about the PhD in Law and Democracy program can be found here.
Indiana Law’s Certificate in Legal Studies allows participants to immerse themselves in legal coursework for just one semester. The certificate is ideal for internationally trained attorneys and law graduates who seek education and experience in the American legal system but whose responsibilities prevent them from committing to a lengthier program.
Indiana University Maurer School of Law is accredited by the American Bar Association
