The Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Global Legal Practice at Keio University Law School is a professional graduate master’s degree program taught entirely in English and designed to train students to become global legal professionals capable of working across jurisdictions, industries, and international institutions. Established in April 2017, it is the first English‑taught LL.M. program at a Japanese law school and can typically be completed in one year full‑time (with part‑time options extending to 1.5–2 years). The curriculum requires students to earn a minimum of 30 credits (or 36 credits for those without a legal background) and includes a structured set of core and elective courses covering topics such as Japanese law and Asian law from a global perspective, global business law, global security law, comparative law, legal research and writing, and practical training. The program aims to equip students with the skills to identify and solve legal problems internationally, design business‑oriented legal solutions, and make policy recommendations in global governance contexts. It also offers opportunities for double degrees with partner law schools abroad and optional internships or practical experiences.
