Overview

The LLM in Drafting Legislation, Regulation, and Policy at School of Advanced Study, University of London aims to promote an understanding of the principles of legislative studies and an in-depth awareness of what constitutes legislative quality and how this can be achieved.

Career Opportunities

The LLM is designed to meet your needs if you are seeking a career in legislative drafting or already working as a legislative drafter, or if you want a career in, or are already working for, organisations that produce different types of draft normative acts.

Many of our students are mid-career drafters employed by government (for example, by AG Chambers, the Ministry of Justice, or other ministries). We also have students who work for or aim to work for NGOs that propose normative acts to governments.

The LLM is also a good choice for students who are looking to go on to complete a PhD in Law. Our PhD graduates are pursuing successful careers in a variety of professions, including academia, legal practice, public sector, and civil society
