LLM students are eligible for admission to Colorado Law's Natural Resources and Environmental Law Clinic in addition to the spring semester's Advanced Natural Resources Seminar, which includes a generally week long field trip to a notable location in the US. Every other year, the seminar is titled Law of the River and the field trip is a rafting trip down the Colorado River and through the Grand Canyon. more
Entrepreneurship and Business Law - Colorado Law enjoys nationally recognized teachers and scholars in business law with significant experience in transactional practice and corporate and securities litigation. Our classes in traditional subjects such as corporations, securities law, and mergers & acquisitions, are enhanced by the law school’s focus on entrepreneurship. Colorado students learn all the basic business law building blocks that other top programs offer, but their experience is enriched by our location in one of the nation’s hubs for innovation and startup businesses and a curriculum that integrates entrepreneurship focused coursework, including core courses from our IP, Technology, and Telecommunications Law program. more
Indigenous Peoples Law and Policy - Colorado Law has a long history of research and teaching about the law of indigenous peoples. With the arrival of Dean James Anaya, the law school is expanding its research and teaching in this area. Faculty and students are engaged in projects with indigenous groups, the United Nations, other intergovernmental bodies, national governments, NGOs, and companies throughout the Americas and the world on issues concerning indigenous peoples. Research and teaching in this area also connects with Colorado’s strengths in other areas, such as international law, natural resources, and intellectual property. more
Intellectual Property, Technology, and Telecommunications Law - Colorado Law students enjoy a broad range of courses and scholars active in a fast-growing and changing set of fields, including intellectual property, internet law, computer crime, cybersecurity, information privacy, telecommunications, fintech, and regtech. Boulder and the Metro Denver area are technology and telecommunications hubs. The Silicon Flatirons Center connects students to leaders in intellectual property, telecommunications, and technology. more
International Law and Human Rights - Colorado Law continues to build on its tradition of public international law. Faculty have expansive research, course offerings, and projects in this field, with a particular emphasis on human rights. To further develop its academic programming in this area, Colorado Law is building relationships with intergovernmental institutions, such as the United Nations and Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. more
U.S. Law for Foreign Lawyers - The U.S. Law for Foreign Lawyers track is a general LL.M. that allows for an optimal amount of curricular flexibility. Students in this concentration have the ability to choose from the majority of Colorado Law courses to meet their degree requirements. This is a common LLM concentration for students who need the curricular flexibility to eventually qualify for a U.S. state bar examination.
The University of Colorado Law School welcomes the highest quality professionals, academics, and students from the global community to fill our small, full immersion LL.M. program. All prospective applicants who take advantage of the opportunity to meet with us at a formal recruiting event will receive an application fee waiver, in addition to having the opportunity to meet with a Colorado Law representative to discuss our LL.M. programs, the LL.M. application process, how to finance a LL.M. degree, Colorado Law's scholarship and fellowship opportunities, the greater University of Colorado Boulder, and our beautiful and unique Boulder location.

The LLM degree does not qualify foreign lawyers to practice law in the United States. Each individual state and similar jurisdiction in the US regulates the admission of attorneys to the practice of law within its jurisdiction. The requirements for bar admission vary from state to state and are quite complex. A foreign LLM student who plans to sit for a bar examination in the U.S. should carefully investigate the relevant requirements prior to beginning his/her studies.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to read the information provided by the Board of Legal Examiners in the state in which s/he wishes to sit the bar. It is the applicant’s responsibility to contact that state’s Board of Legal Examiners with any questions, to submit all documents and fees in a timely manner, and to complete any U.S. law courses required by that state’s Board of Legal Examiners.
Traditionally, the New York and California bar examinations were the primary choice of U.S. state bar examinations for international lawyers. However, a few additional U.S. states (Texas, Washington, Vermont, for example) have revised their eligibility requirements to account for foreign lawyers. We highly encourage all LLM students to consider the relevant state's eligibility criteria if they intend to qualify to sit a U.S. state bar exam BEFORE matriculation so as to control for state specific curricular requirements prior to fall course (module) registration.
Each state and/or similar jurisdiction has final authority to determine whether an applicant meets the requirements to sit its bar examination.
The Career Development Office at Colorado Law is dedicated to helping all students, including those who are working towards their LLM degree. LLM students are welcome to meet with a career counselor to discuss job search strategies, resume and cover letter production, and to take advantage of the many resources offered by our Career Development Office.
Many LLM students hope to find either short term or long term employment in the United States. The current US legal job market is fiercely competitive for both domestic JD and international LLM graduates. It is challenging to find law-related jobs in the United States today, and we do not encourage international students to join an LLM program with the expectation of gaining full-time employment in the U.S. This is the common experience for LLM graduates at US law schools across the country. However, students who do wish to explore the job market in the US should be extremely proactive in their search for a position, consider niche market demands (foreign language capabilities, for example), and diversify their networking efforts throughout the duration of the LLM program.
International LLM students may gain practitioner based experience after graduation as part of the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program under the F-1 student visa. Information regarding this program is available at the University of Colorado Boulder's International Student and Scholar Services website.
Law students generally prefer to live in off-campus accommodations. The International Student and Scholar Services has information on long and short-term housing options.
University family housing consists of several apartment complexes located north and east of campus. One and two-bedroom apartments are for married students, and studio-style apartments (i.e., one-room quarters) are for single students. There is usually a very long wait due to high demand, so apply early. The application for family housing is separate from that of the residence halls. For further information, contact the Family Housing Office at 1350 20th Street, Boulder, CO 80302, call 303-492-6384, or email graduatefamilyhousing@colorado.edu.
The combination of living in an extremely bike friendly city, the CU student bus pass, Boulder's designation as a Gold Level Walk Friendly Community, and a relatively medium size college town provides for easy student access to campus and should reassure most international student concerns regarding a potential commute to campus. The University of Colorado Boulder also provides bus access to the Denver International Airport, the Late Night Transit program to assuage any safety and security concerns, and a Ski Bus Program that includes access to multiple Colorado ski resorts. More information for CU student transportation options can be found on our Environmental Center's website.
Colorado Law recognizes the value in LLM applicants whose TOEFL/IELTS scores may not meet our minimum requirements needed for full admission consideration and has partnered with CU-Boulder's International English Center to create a robust Legal English program, and in turn, conditional admission opportunities. Depending on an applicant's TOEFL/IELTS test score, conditional admission offers to our LLM program can be contingent on either:
- the successful completion of one, eight-week Legal English program in the summer, or
- the successful completion of a full-spring semester plus an eight-week summer course of Legal English.
Further, our Legal English program is also open to LLM students who receive a full admission offer and plan to arrive early in Boulder to prepare for the start of a rigorous LLM program, international students planning on applying to a US law school in the future, and practicing international lawyers seeking to refine their English and Legal English skills.
To offer additional English and Legal English support for our current international LLM students, Legal English courses are also available throughout the duration of Colorado Law's LLM program.
Additional information for the University of Colorado-Boulder's Legal English program can be found here.
Dual Degree Programs
The University of Colorado Law School is proud to have global dual degree partnerships with UiT The University of the Arctic, Universidad de Chile, and Universidad Panamericana (pending). Law students at each of these institutions have the opportunity to enroll in Colorado Law’s LLM program during their final year of law school and achieve both their first degree in law and a US LLM degree in approximately the same amount of time as would have been required to achieve their first degree in law.
Nominated students may apply for admission to any track in Colorado Law’s full-time LLM program, including: Entrepreneurship and Business Law; Intellectual Property, Technology, and Telecommunications Law; Natural Resources, Energy, and Environmental Law; Indigenous Peoples Law and Policy; International Law and Human Rights; and, US Law for Foreign Lawyers (general program). A nomination, however, is not a guarantee of admission.
Dual degree students will be required to complete a minimum of 24 credits at Colorado Law to become eligible for LLM degree conferral, and their first degree in law at their home institution must first be conferred before CU Boulder can issue their LLM diploma.
