About

The curriculum of the LL.M. program in the Law of the United States (LOTUS) is designed to provide foreign lawyers a first-rate education in the law of the U.S., insights about the American legal profession, and valuable skills in legal analysis, research and writing. The LL.M. program requires completion of one full-time academic year of course work, or, usually three semesters if part-time study.

LL.M. LOTUS students choose one of two tracks of study: U.S. Practice or Elective Concentrations. Both include required courses on Introduction to the Law of the United States, and Legal Analysis, Research and Writing (LARW). The U.S. Practice track requires certain core doctrinal courses that lay the foundation of American legal concepts. The Elective Concentrations track provides for study of specific areas of the law for which course prerequisites have been met.

In 2010-11, there are 22 students enrolled. The students earned their first degrees in law in Brazil, Cameroon, China, India, Iran, Kenya, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Romania, Rwanda, Turkey and Venezuela. Students who are polishing their English language skills participate in Conversation Partners and/or Writing Coach programs offered by the university. A week-long orientation is held in mid-August before classes begin.

Prospective applicants are invited to meet the faculty and students and read about the program on http://www.law.ubalt.edu/lotus and to contact LLMAdmission@ubalt.edu with questions.
