Master of Laws (LLM)
A Master of Laws (LLM) is the degree that follows the JD, LLB, or equivalent degree. The program enables law graduates to continue their studies, to specialize, or -- in the case of foreign-educated lawyers -- to qualify to take a bar exam in the United States.
Master of Law Studies (MLS) Program
Golden Gate University’s Master of Law Studies (MLS) is designed to provide graduates with a deep understanding of essential topics, major concepts, and core theories of law and legal studies to prepare them for legal-adjacent careers or a transition to law school. An MLS degree is ideal for non-lawyers pursuing careers that require advanced legal knowledge.
Doctor of Juridical Science (SJD)
GGU also offers a terminal law degree, equivalent to a PhD, called an SJD.
The SJD in International Legal Studies is designed to provide in-depth coverage of specialized areas of international and comparative law.
Earning an LLM at one of the best graduate tax law programs in the country will allow me to better serve my clients as well as strengthen my skill and the offerings of my practice.
