Program Information and Admissions Requirements
Georgetown Law offers a joint JD/LL.M. in Taxation program that enables Georgetown JD students and students from other accredited U.S. law schools to earn an LL.M. degree in one rather than two full-time semesters after completion of the JD degree.
The JD/LL.M. degree is open to 2L or 3E Georgetown JD students, or to JD students at other ABA-accredited law schools who plan to attend Georgetown as Visiting Students during their third year of law school.
