LL.M. in International and Comparative Law
LL.M. in International and Comparative Law
Lawyers from around the world converge at the University of Notre Dame’s London Law Centre to earn an advanced law degree—the LL.M. in International and Comparative Law. The program is designed for graduates of law schools from EU countries who seek additional legal training or who wish to pursue studies comparing their legal systems with those of the United States and Great Britain.
Established in 1986, it is the only overseas graduate-degree program offered by an American law school.
“No longer is international law of interest only to multinational corporations that typically have a need for international expertise. Any practitioner now may need to be conscious of how easily a problem in domestic relations, intellectual property, or even crime can involve an international dimension. A failure to be conscious of this element may in the future prove to be not just undesirable, but reflect a flaw in a legal professional’s training.”
