The LLM project of Harvard University provides a broad learning platform for students. Under the guidance of law school teachers, students can design the course content by themselves. Within one year, each student must satisfactorily complete the course content with at least 22 credits and no more than 26 credits. Most students can complete 22-24 credits. In addition, students must meet some special curriculum and writing requirements.

International students need to take at least one American law course: civil law, constitution, contract law, enterprise law, criminal law, family law, legislation and management, property law, tax law and tort law. International students are also required to think independently and complete a paper of more than 25 pages, with strong ideas and arguments, and often need to go out for inspection. The paper can be completed independently or in the form of discussion and cooperation. Finally, students are strongly advised to take one of the following courses: legal history, legal theory, policy and analysis, and legal procedure.

To apply for LLM, the applicant must have a doctor of law degree from a regular law school in the United States or the first law degree in other countries, that is, a bachelor of law degree. Harvard Law School basically does not accept students who already have or are studying for LLM degrees from a court in the United States or equivalent to apply for LLM degrees again. If you have not completely graduated at the time of application and are in the last year of law study, you should complete all your previous studies by June of the school year at the latest.
