Application instructions
After submitting an online application, you must print, sign and mail
back to us the Certification Letter. To fill out this PDF form on your computer,
you will need the free Adobe Reader.
Summer 2009-2010 Summer LL.M. PDF (paper) Application
Paper applications generally take much longer to process than electronic
applications; however, submitting a paper application will not in any
way affect admissions decisions. When submitting a paper application,
you can help streamline the process by applying as early as possible,
and by sending all of your application materials together in one
packet. We recommend you use a delivery confirmation or other tracking
method to verify delivery.

LL.M. Credential Assembly Service
We recommend
international LL.M. applicants to subscribe to the Law School
Admission Council's (LSAC's) Credential Assembly Service. For a $185
fee, applicants need only send one set of transcripts and TOEFL scores
to LSAC, who will then assemble and distribute law school reports to up
to 5 participating schools of your choice. If you decide to use this
service, please do NOT send your TOEFL scores or transcripts to Berkeley
Law; instead you must send these promptly to LSAC so that they can be
transmitted to us before the application deadline. Further details
about this service may be found on LSAC's website: http://www.LLM.LSAC.org
