Completing Your LL.M. or E-LL.M. Application
Completing Your J.S.D. Application
Submitting Your Materials
Applicants to the LL.M. program in either Singapore or New York City and applicants to the J.S.D. program must use the NYU School of Law Online Application (application fee: $75).
We prefer that the application fee be paid online using either an American Express, Discover, MasterCard, or Visa credit card. However, if you are unable to pay your application fee online, you may mail your fee with the Payment Identification Form (accessible from the online application) using an international money order, or check drawn on a U.S. bank, payable to New York University in U.S. dollars. Do not send cash or traveler's checks.
LL.M. and J.S.D. applicants are required to submit the personal statement and resume via electronic attachment to the online application. LL.M. applicants to the Hauser Global Scholarship, the Singapura Scholarship, the LL.M.-J.S.D. Program in International and Comparative Law and/or the Transitional Justice Scholars Program must also electronically attach the required essay(s) to the online application. J.S.D. applicants must electronically attach the proposal of study to the online application. Additionally, all applicants have the option of using the online recommendation service. Please do not mail paper copies of electronically submitted materials to the Office of Graduate Admissions. Such duplicate submission of materials only slows down the admissions process for all applicants.
Any submissions for which the original is not in English must be accompanied by original, certified translations.
Many applicants with foreign education credentials applying to U.S. law schools use the Law School Admission Council's (LSAC) Credential Assembly Service as it assists with the processing of applications by collecting, authenticating, and distributing credentials in an electronic report to all the schools to which an applicant applies. If you choose to use this service, your law school(s) must submit your transcripts and documentation of your class rank directly to LSAC. Because of time constraints, those applicants applying to the LL.M. program in Singapore should not use this service. Rather, we recommend that applicants to NYU@NUS send transcripts (and translations, if required) directly to the Office of Graduate Admissions. The LSAC Credential Assembly Service is not available for applicants whose first degree in law is from a U.S. law school.
The registration fee for the LSAC Credential Assembly Service is $185; this fee permits you to request that your report be sent to five schools, with the option to purchase additional reports, and your credentials will be kept on file for five years. Please note that NYU School of Law is unable to provide a reduction of this fee. For registration information, please visit www.llm.lsac.org. If you elect to use the LSAC Credential Assembly Service, the NYU School of Law transcript form is not needed.
Applicants not utilizing the LSAC Credential Assembly Service should refer to the information below for the appropriate address to which they may send their transcripts (and translations, if required).
