Applying to LL.M programs across the US, UK, and EU demands far more than strong grades or a polished essay. Each region evaluates you through a completely different lens — narrative in the US, academic depth in the UK, and research alignment in the EU.
This masterclass, led by Harvard Law alum Orubah Ahmed, gives you the clarity most applicants never get: how committees actually read your file, which signals move your application forward, and how to tailor your strategy for each jurisdiction. If you’re targeting competitive LL.M admits, this is the guidance that can change your trajectory.
