The General LL.M. Program's great attraction is its flexibility.
Students design their own curriculum in keeping with their specific goals and interests.
Candidates for the General LL.M. may be especially drawn to Cardozo's strong offerings in legal theory, philosophy, and jurisprudence, on the one hand, and in corporate and commercial law, on the other. However, students are not required to declare a particular specialty and can craft a program that makes the most sense for them. There is no prescribed curriculum for the General LL.M., although certain specific requirements for international students do apply. Every candidate, however, must pursue a coherent and focused program of study consisting of at least 24 credits. An acceptable program usually centers on one or two areas of concentration.
