Student Profile

The profile of a typical student is a practicing lawyer with five to ten years of experience in a government office, state attorney office, regulatory agency, the judiciary, central or municipal governmental office or public interest NGO. (Other legal professionals, as well as executives and managers whose work brings them into frequent contact with legal or regulatory situations, would also benefit from participating in the Executive LLM program.)

As the Executive LLM program is conducted mostly in English, students are expected to be proficient in spoken and written English.

Program Structure

The program consists of two semesters in Tel Aviv and four weeks in Chicago at Northwestern University. The program begins in Tel Aviv and after completing one semester of coursework students travel to Chicago for four weeks of intensive classroom instruction during the month of July. Successful completion of the program requires 20 hours of course work. The class schedule is planned to allow participants to continue their careers while studying and acquiring an expansive range of functional and managerial skills.


The Executive LLM Tel Aviv program is not intended to qualify foreign lawyers to take the bar examination or to practice law in the United States; in many states, including Illinois, these degrees are not sufficient to take the exam. Because bar exam qualification is subject to individual state regulation and may change year to year, it is up to the applicant and student to assess bar eligibility.
