Program Information in English"The LLM with Intensive English is the program that I was looking for. As a student in this program you will have to prepare for a lot of lectures, reading, and homework, but all of the effort and hard work that you put into the program 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."

Who should consider this program?This three-semester program is designed for qualified law students who need to improve their English proficiency before they immerse themselves into their LL.M. program of study. Miami Law requires applicants to the regular LL.M. program to have a minimum TOEFL score of 92 or a minimum required IELTS score of 7.0. Applicants with scores both above and below the target scores may apply to this program. Application DeadlineThis program has its own deadline and offers limited spots. Applications will be considered as soon as they are complete, and must be submitted no later than December 1; candidates needing an F-1 student visa to study in the U.S. are encouraged to apply sooner, by November 1. What is unique about the program?
"The program is a wonderful way to introduce students to the U.S. law school and prepare them for their LL.M. In 'Introduction to Legal Communication and Writing,' students receive unique, specifically-tailored training to enhance their U.S. legal reasoning, writing, and communication skills. I have seen students successfully complete this Introduction course and then excel at the start of their LL.M. at Miami Law."
