What is the full form of LLM?

The full form of LLM is Legum Magister. The master’s degree in law is defined in Latin terminology. A Master of Law is frequently referred to as an LLM. An internationally renowned post-graduate degree programme in law is the LLM. It is available in the vast majority of countries around the world.

Most people are unsure about seeing a second L in an LLM. Those who think the two Ls stand for separate things fail to realise that the Latin plural form repeats the letter. LL defines the possessive plural of the Latin term Lex, which means particular law.
