Miami Law International LL.M. Programs

What Miami Law International LL.M. Programs does

Miami Law International LL.M. Programs is the graduate legal education arm of the University of Miami School of Law, a private law school located at 1311 Miller Drive in Coral Gables, Florida. The programs have offered Master of Laws degrees continuously since 1952 and serve foreign-trained lawyers seeking U.S. legal credentials, U.S. attorneys pursuing specialized credentials, and joint-degree candidates. The portfolio comprises nine specialized LLM tracks: General LLM in U.S. and Transnational Law, Entertainment Arts and Sports Law, Estate Planning (Heckerling Graduate Program), International Arbitration (White & Case–named), International Law, Maritime Law, Real Property Development, Taxation, and Taxation of Cross-Border Investment. Two of these — Real Property Development and Cross-Border Tax — are offered in fully online or hybrid formats via Blackboard, and a JD/MBA/LLM triple degree exists in Estate Planning. The programs run on a tuition-based revenue model with per-credit pricing, supplemented by executive education revenue (notably the Heckerling Institute on Estate Planning) and a substantial externally funded scholarship apparatus (White & Case, Young ICCA, ACTEC, Vis Moot, FDI Moot, AIJA, Fulbright Commission, and Colombian universities). Distribution combines direct application with rolling admissions, in-person recruitment across 11+ countries, virtual events, class visits, moot court partnerships, and university-to-university scholarship agreements. Enrollment runs at 100+ LLM students per year drawn from 25+ countries, set within a broader university international population of 3,000 students from 120 countries and an alumni network of 23,000+ across 50 states and 95 countries. The technology stack is conventional — Blackboard LMS, LexisNexis and Westlaw legal research, and synchronous/asynchronous video delivery — without proprietary AI or ML infrastructure.
