Full Form of LLM (Master of Law)
The full form of LLM is Master of Legislative Laws. The Latin term for a Master of Laws is Legum Magister. The LLM program is a postgraduate course of study commonly taken by those with a legal degree or who have passed the bar exam. Legum means “of the laws” and is the genitive plural of the Latin word ‘Lex’. The Master of Laws program provides a number of specializations, including criminal law, corporate law, business law, international law, etc. Through extensive research in a particular topic of law, LLM assists in gaining in-depth knowledge of that field of law.
The course of study of the LLM program varies depending on the country. An LLM program typically lasts two years in India. However, it is 2.5 years, 1 year, and 2 years, respectively, in the UK, the USA, and Canada.
