Introduction
The Foreign Lawyer Program creates an opportunity for those who have earned a law degree abroad and practised law outside the United States to receive up to 28 advance standing credits, earning a J.D. degree upon completing 56 credits within two academic years.
In general, students in the program first take all first-year required courses. Those students with suitable prior academic experience may obtain an exception, at the vice dean’s discretion. The remaining credits will be earned through elective courses depending on the student's interest.
A successful participant in the Foreign Lawyer Program receives a J.D., which qualifies the student to sit for the bar exam in any American jurisdiction. Rutgers Law School does not currently offer a one year LL.M. degree.
