Venue description

The Law School is expanding its programs in international law and study. For foreign students we offer an LL.M. degree, with emphases in several subject areas. U.S. students may take advantage of our summer programs at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, and the Australian National University in Canberra. The School of Law offers a one-year program for foreign students leading to the Master of Laws (LL.M.) degree. The program is for persons who have completed a basic legal education and received a university degree in law in another country. Students may elect to take courses aimed at developing knowledge in specific areas of the law -- such as international business law, environmental law or comparative law -- or may tailor a custom course of study to suit individual interests or professional needs. Enrollment in the LL.M. program is limited.
