Grad Legal Writing and Research : Illinois LLM students are required to take a specially designed 2-credit legal writing and research course. This course provides LLM students initial training in legal reasoning, writing, and analysis and introduces the student to the unique learning environment of the U.S. law school. Taught by College of Law faculty, students meet their faculty in a classroom setting and learn study and time management skills in small group sections. Generally, this course meets for three weeks prior to the start of the fall semester.
Professional Responsibility : This course provides students with the history, goals, instruction, values, rules and responsibilities of the U.S. legal profession and its members. For students planning to take the New York Bar Examination, this course fulfills the professional responsibility requirement of the bar examination. This requirement is waived for students with a JD from an ABA-accredited law school.
Please see the College of Law Courses page for a full listing of courses and course descriptions.
