Editing Master of Laws (section)

===Australia===
In [[Australia]], the LLM is generally only open graduates with a first professional degree in law (typically a JD or LLB).<ref name="lsacLLM" />  There are nearly 100 LLM courses in Australia across 25 institutions taught in English.<ref>{{Cite web |title=LLM Degree in Australia (97 courses) {{!}} LLMStudy.com |url=https://www.llmstudy.com/search/llm-programs/australia/ |access-date=2022-06-01 |website=www.llmstudy.com}}</ref>

Variants of the LL.M. exist, such as the Master of Legal Practice (M.L.P.) available at the [[Australian National University]], where students who have completed the Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice (which law graduates must obtain before being able to be admitted as a solicitor/barrister), will be granted some credit towards the Master qualification. Other variants of the LL.M. are more similar to the LL.M. available in the wider Commonwealth but under a different title, for example Master of Commercial Law, Master of International Law or Master of Human Rights Law. These courses are usually more specialised than a standard LL.M.
