Can I practice law with a Juris Master degree?

A Juris Master degree is designed to complement professional experience and an academic background in another field, but it does not meet requirements to sit for the bar exam or practice law. The American Bar Association only approves Juris Doctor (J.D.) programs. If you want to become an attorney and practice international law, we encourage you to apply to our residential J.D. program.
