J.D.-LL.M. in Taxation

The Law School makes available to J.D. students from both NYU School of Law and other accredited American law schools the opportunity to obtain the J.D. and LL.M. degrees in a total of seven semesters of full-time study. The J.D.-LL.M. takes only seven semesters to complete (instead of eight) because the Graduate Tax Program allows students to count graduate tax courses taken at NYU School of Law as J.D. students towards the LL.M. in Taxation degree.

Students participating in the J.D.-LL.M. program must complete at least 12 credits of study as matriculated LL.M. students after completion of their J.D. degrees. During this post-J.D. degree period, these students are considered LL.M. students at the Law School and are subject to the rules and regulations of the Law School applicable to LL.M. students. Additional information for J.D. students enrolled at other law schools who are interested in the J.D.-LL.M. program is available through the Office of Graduate Affairs.

J.D.-LL.M. students also are eligible to apply for a Tax Policy Fellowship. Each year one or two students are provided a stipend to help finance a six-month internship either with the Office of Tax Policy in the U.S. Treasury Department or the Congressional Staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation. The internship is taken at the completion of the student's third year in the J.D. program, and the student returns to NYU School of Law the following spring to complete the joint degree requirements. A full-tuition scholarship is provided for this final semester.
