BYU Law offers a two-semester (eight-month) LL.M. program for foreign lawyers leading to a master’s degree in law. It is a full-time day program that begins every August and ends in April.

The program is designed specifically for non-U.S. lawyers who intend to obtain the degree to enhance employment opportunities in their home countries.

All applicants must complete the Honor Code Commitment and Ecclesiastical Endorsement

• Both Latter-day Saint and non-Latter-day Saint applicants agree to abide by the Honor Code and Related Policies.
• If you have a current (unexpired) Honor Code Commitment and Ecclesiastical Endorsement at the time of submitting your completed application, you will not need to complete new ones. However, if this will be your first Ecclesiastical Endorsement or if your Ecclesiastical Endorsement has expired and you are a Latter-day Saint applicant, you must obtain one from
  • Your current Bishop; AND
  • A current member of your stake presidency
• Non-Latter-day Saint applicants need an endorsement from a member of clergy from their own faith (or a local Latter-day Saint bishop) and from the non-denominational BYU chaplain.

If you do not already have a BYU Net ID, you will need to create one.
