A system modeling spin-polarized transport in ferromagnetic multilayers is considered. In this model, the spin accumulation is described by a quasilinear diffusion equation with discontinuous, measurable coefficients. This equation is coupled to the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation, a nonlinear, nonlocal equation describing the precession of the magnetization in the ferromagnetic layers. The global existence of weak solutions is proved.
