Additional Requirements

All J.D. with Advanced Standing candidates must possess the first law degree from a foreign law school (typically an undergraduate degree) approved by the government or other accrediting authority in the nation in which it is located, prior to enrollment. However, candidates do not have to be a member of the bar in the nation in which they received their first law degree in order to qualify. Those who seek credit from a U.S. LL.M. degree must also provide complete transcripts for that degree. Transcripts must indicate that the degree has been conferred.

TOEFL score reports must be received no later than July 15 or a minimum of four (4) weeks before the first day of fall term.

The University of Arizona is an EEO/AA employer and does not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, Veteran's status, or sexual orientation in its admissions, employment and educational programs or activities. The law school community welcomes law graduates from other nations and legal systems!

Given the small size of the J.D. with Advanced Standing program and its unique attributes, admission is highly competitive.

The Admissions Committee reserves the right to seek additional information or clarification in appropriate circumstances, including a personal interview or independent confirmation of prior degrees.
