Transcript:
Official transcript of law degree and any other degrees earned from any college, university, graduate school, or professional school.
The transcript should be an official record from the academic institution, clearly indicating the dates of attendance, the courses taken, the grades received, and the degree conferred. Transcripts should be accompanied by a description of the grading system. Transcripts should be submitted through the LLM CAS. If you do not register with LLM CAS, the original official transcript of your law degree, stating all courses taken, grades earned, and date of law degree conferred, must be received by Cardozo in an unopened sealed envelope with the issuing adminstrator's signature along the envelope seal. Transcripts may be submitted directly to Cardozo's Admissions Office by the issuing institute or by the applicant. If your institution will only issue one original transcript, Cardozo will accept a photocopy of the transcript on which an official from the institution has affixed a new stamp or seal to certify that the copy complies with the original records. The certified copy must be submitted in an unopened, sealed and signed envelope.
Student copies of transcripts, PDF copies of transcripts, color copies, or scanned copies of transcripts will NOT be accepted.
Curriculum Vitae:
Resume/curriculum vitae. Information should be current to the date of application.
Personal Statement:
Personal statement. Limited to two (2) typed, double-spaced pages. The statement should describe your reasons for pursuing an LLM degree and include any information you believe would be helpful to the Admissions Committee in making its decision.
Recommendation Letter:
Two letters of recommendation. Letters may be written by law school professors, and employers or colleagues whose supervisory positions permit informed evaluations of your qualifications. Letters should be submitted through the LLM CAS. Hard copies with original signatures may be sent directly to the Office of Admissions if you do not register with LLM CAS. Xeroxed or scanned letters, unsigned letters, or emailed recommendations will not be accepted.
