The School of Law's Master of Laws in the Law of the United States (LL.M. LOTUS) program provides an ideal opportunity for foreign-trained lawyers to study U.S. law at a leading center for international and comparative law.

Our innovative LL.M. LOTUS program is designed for foreign-educated attorneys who want a comprehensive overview of the American legal system. We have welcomed students from all over the world, including those from Nigeria, the Philippines and Great Britain.

Our program offers a great degree of flexibility. LL.M. LOTUS candidates may choose to complete the program in one full-time academic year of coursework or may complete it in two years on a part-time basis. Our LL.M. LOTUS students create their own program of study by either choosing U.S. Practice, a broad survey of courses that provide the foundation of American legal concepts, or the Elective Concentrations track, which provides for study of specific area of the law for which course prerequisites have been met.

The School of Law is fully accredited by the American Bar Association, the Board of Regents of the University System of Maryland and the Maryland Higher Education Commission.
