J.D. Transfer

Qualified LL.M. Students may apply to transfer the to J.D. Program

Our J.D. student body is among the most selective and diverse in the United States.

Each year we choose an entering J.D. class of about 300 from over 6,000 applications. About one-third represent cultural and ethnic minorities, and many have studied or lived abroad.

The University of California Hastings offers a J.D. transfer program which allows qualified LL.M. students to apply to the J.D. program using grades and faculty recommendations in substitution of an LSAT score. If an LL.M. candidate is admitted to the J.D. program, he or she will not receive an LL.M. degree, and instead will have the 24 earned LL.M. credits applied towards the completion of the J.D. degree. The student is then required to complete two additional years of study in order to meet the additional requirements of the J.D. degree.

UC Hastings College of the Law was founded in 1878 as the first law department of the University of California. We are located in San Francisco’s Civic Center—steps from City Hall, the State and Federal Buildings, the State Supreme, Superior and Appellate Courts, as well as the United States District Court and Court of Appeals.
