LLM in American Legal Practice

The LLM in American Legal Practice provides internationally trained law graduates with both a deep understanding of the U.S. legal system and an opportunity to see how the law is applied in professional practice.

The Kline School of Law gives US Law LLM students an unparalleled immersion in the American legal system and the knowledge and skills to practice law in the U.S. In 2017, International Jurist recognized the quality of our programs for international attorneys, giving the Kline School of Law a grade of "A+."

Drexel University features 3,000 international students from more than 100 countries, who take part in a dynamic and lively culture on campus and in the community.

Students who wish to take the New York bar exam after graduation can opt to complete a concentration that will prepare them for the bar exam. This concentration requires the completion of 33 credits.
