Master of Law in Health Law

Established in 1986, DePaul's LLM in Health Law is considered one of the most competitive programs in the nation. Guided by outstanding full-time faculty and leading attorneys, the health law curriculum evolves as health care law and technology change, addressing the demand for lawyers with specialized credentials in this field. You may also earn course credit while gaining valuable practice experience through field placements. Additionally, you may participate in programs conducted by the Mary and Michael Jaharis Health Law Institute. DePaul's JD/LLM (Juris Doctor/Master of Laws) program gives students an opportunity to intensively develop knowledge and practice skills in a specific area of law, earning two degrees in only three years of study (with summer enrollment). DePaul is one of only a few law schools in the nation to offer this accelerated joint degree option, and students in the program may simultaneously earn a JD and LLM, an internationally recognized postgraduate law degree.
