Applicants to the Taxation LL.M.
U.S.-educated applicants to the Taxation LL.M. must have taken a basic Federal Income Taxation class as part of their J.D. program. (Foreign-educated students in the Tax program will take U.S. Income Tax: Principles and Practices during their first semester).
Applicants to the Securities & Financial Regulation LL.M.
U.S.-educated applicants to the Securities & Financial Regulation LL.M. are expected to have taken a basic course in Securities Regulation during their J.D. program.
