Cornell Law School offers a select group of students - those with excellent academic records, as well as French or German language fluency - the opportunity to earn both a Cornell J.D. and a graduate law degree from one of Cornell’s three European partner institutions:

• J.D./Master en Droit, Université Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne, is a four-year program that prepares graduates for admission to the bar in the United States and in France.
• J.D./Master of German and European Law and Practice (M.LL.P.), Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, is a three-year program that provides graduates with a profound knowledge of German and European law at both an academic and a practical level.
• J.D./Master in Global Business Law, Institut d’Études Politiques de Paris ("Sciences Po") and Paris I, is a three-year program that offers a multi-disciplinary, European perspective on international law and business issues.

Admission to the Programs:
Those interested in the J.D./Master en Droit or the J.D./M.LL.P. (but not the J.D./Master in Global Business Law) may apply as a part of their initial application (pdf) to Cornell Law School. Persons admitted to Cornell Law School but not into a dual degree program upon initial application are free to apply again during the first year application process.

All admitted Cornell Law School students can apply to the program of their choice during the Spring semester of their first year of law school. The annual deadline for filing an application is March 1.
