Hire LL.M. Students

Georgetown Law LL.M. candidates are exceptionally well-equipped to join your organization and hit the ground running from the moment they start working for you in full-time positions or as academic externs.

About Georgetown Law LL.M. Students

Georgetown Law has over 600 full-time and 100 part-time LL.M. students. Nearly half of the full-time and the majority of the part-time students earned their J.D. degrees in the United States.

All of our LL.M. students possess a law degree in the U.S. or abroad, and many of our students have previous legal experience in private law firms, corporations, government ministries and agencies, international and non-governmental organizations, as well as in accounting and consulting firms. Most students are admitted to the bar in at least one jurisdiction.

Their advanced legal education, specialized knowledge base, and practical legal experience give our students the competitive edge necessary to succeed in legal practice. We hope that you will consider these highly qualified lawyers for full-time or extern positions in your organization or firm.

About the Georgetown Law LL.M. Program

The Georgetown philosophy is that each of the specialization fields for LL.M. degrees and certificates grows out of a center of excellence at Georgetown. Most focus on areas of law in which Georgetown is ranked in the top 10 law schools in the nation.
