Law: Executive Track (Remote + Summer)

Berkeley Law LL.M. (Master of Laws) is a general degree designed to prepare foreign lawyers for global practice. Our curriculum provides a strong foundation in the fundamentals of U.S. law while allowing for customization based on individual interests. Students can earn certificates of specialization in several areas of law and may pursue eligibility to register for a U.S. bar exam.

The LL.M. Executive Track Remote + Summer program is specifically designed for lawyers who want an internationally renowned Berkeley Law degree but can’t leave professional or personal commitments for an entire academic year. In one calendar year, starting remotely in January and ending remotely in December with one in-Berkeley semester during the summer, you can take the same number of units and receive the same LL.M. degree as our traditional track students. The online spring and fall semesters each take approximately 15 hours of work per week or less and are designed to be compatible with a busy work schedule or personal commitments. The summer semester is full-time, in Berkeley, with a wide variety of courses to choose from.

The LL.M. executive track is the only degree program running at the law school during the summer semester which results in a tight bond among LL.M. students and faculty. Shortly after starting your summer semester you’ll know every person you see in the hallways.

Beyond the benefits of getting to know your fellow students and faculty in person, LL.M. executive track students take advantage of Berkeley’s location to visit nearby companies such as Google, Facebook, and Twitter; sit in on hearings at the local courthouses; and take weekend trips to wine country, Lake Tahoe, or even Las Vegas.
