LAW
LL.M. PROGRAM
The University of Arizona College of Law is now offering a program leading to the degree of master of laws in international trade law. The LL.M. program, approved by the American Bar Association and the Arizona Board of Regents, enrolled its first ten students - law graduates from the United States, Mexico, Spain and Germany - in August 1994.
The one-year, full-time program, offered in coordination with the National Law Center for Inter-American Free Trade, is designed to provide candidates with the theoretical and practical knowledge required to understand current developments in the areas of international trade and commercial law, particularly with regard to Western Hemisphere free trade and economic integration. LL.M. candidates will complete a minimum of 24 credit hours for the degree. The curriculum includes "core" courses such as international trade and investment law, international commercial law and international litigation, as well as related general courses such as corporate law, securities law, administrative law, antitrust law and the Uniform Commercial Code.
All LL.M. candidates must be J.D. graduates of an ABA approved law school in the United States, or demonstrate equivalent academic credentials from an accredited foreign law school. Candidates should have a strong academic record, experience or interest in international law, and fluency in English as well as Spanish or Portuguese.
