The Amicus Project: Simplifying LL.M. applications

The Amicus Project (TAP) is meant to simplify and bring more transparency to the LL.M. application process.

The TAP aims at answering two, essential questions that applicants often struggle with:

  • What are their chances of admission to an LL.M. program; and
  • What is the quantum of scholarship they will receive

By allowing LL.M. applicants to have their CV’s reviewed directly by law schools, applicants have access to both these pieces of information without going through the travails (and costs) of the LL.M. application process.

Secondly, the TAP allows international law schools the liberty to focus on specific schools and/or profiles for their LL.M. recruitments, instead of applying a more spread out, and time-consuming, outreach activities.

For a country such as India, with more than 1,400 law schools churning out an average of 100,000 law graduates every year, the TAP also hopes to reduce the recruitment costs associated with India.

Our first TAP partner is the UNH Franklin Pierce School of Law who is looking to specifically recruit students and alumni from the Rajiv Gandhi School of Intellectual Property Law. You can read more about this process on the dedicated page here.
