Course summary
The Joint Degree in Taxation Program allows both Northwestern and non-Northwestern JD students to obtain both the JD and LLM Tax degrees in less than the eight semesters of study necessary if each degree is earned sequentially. Under the program, students can apply up to 14 units of credit earned while enrolled in the Tax Program to both the JD and the LLM Tax degrees. Students typically complete one half of the requirements for the LLM Tax degree during the fall semester of their third year and then complete the requirements for the LLM Tax degree on either a full-time or a part-time basis following receipt of the JD degree. Northwestern Law's LLM Tax curriculum is that joint-degree students are exposed to the four foundational areas of the modern tax law during the fall semester of their third year. Thus, even if they do not complete the LLM requirements, they will have completed a course of study that will provide them with the breadth of coverage necessary to enter the practice of tax law. In addition, they will have received the type of in-depth exposure to tax issues that is only available through study at the LLM level.
