Learn More"The LL.M. with Intensive Legal English is the program that I was looking for. You will have to prepare for a lot of lectures, reading, and homework, but all of the effort and hard work will be beneficial as they provide the base for your next step at Miami Law. After I complete my LL.M. I plan to take the New York Bar and practice Immigration Law."

Courses in the program are specifically designed for international lawyers and include: Oral Communication, English for Law, Introduction to Legal Communication and Writing, and Legal Research Skills.
"The program is a wonderful way to introduce students to the U.S. law school and prepare them for their LL.M. Students receive unique, specifically-tailored training to enhance their U.S. legal reasoning, writing, and communication skills. It is incredibly rewarding to watch them learn and at times, truly master legal writing and reasoning for the U.S. legal system."
K. Renee Schimkat, Legal Writing Professor specifically for international lawyers
