Many law schools offer advanced degrees.  The most common of these is the one-year LL.M. (Master of Laws) degree, but there are other specialized law degrees ranging from short-term certificate programs to intensive S.J.D. (Doctor of Juridical Science) programs for those interested in academia. Below is information on all the accredited law schools in the U.S. and Canada that offer advanced law degrees. 

If you are interested in obtaining an advanced degree, it is critical that you talk with professors in your field of interest.  They can help steer you to a program that meets your individual needs.
