Courses
LL.M. students participate in an orientation progrm and enroll in the U.S. Legal system course as well as Legal Research/Writing for LL.M. sudents.
Additional courses are selected by individual students working in consultation with the Program Director and faculty. By choosing courses from among the range of those offered to all law students, LLM students are able to design a course of study that best advances their own professional agendas.
Students may select courses in areas of study, called
professional pathways, such as Business and Entrepreneurship; Criminal; International; Innovation, Technology and Intellectual Property; Science, Health, and Environment; Public Interest; Litigation and Alternative Dispute Resolution; General and Small Practice.

Classroom instruction is integrated with practice observations at courtrooms, government agencies, law firms, and corporate offices. During these observations, participants interact with judges, attorneys, general counsel, and business executives, who convey critical insights about practice in the U.S., including:
- U.S. business customs
- Liaising effectively with counsel
- Navigating the U.S. judicial system
The College of Law will also provide forums for participants to discuss their legal cultures, as well as to introduce their law firms or institutions to area attorneys and business executives. In this way, participants and local attorneys and executives have many opportunities to network and form lasting professional contacts.
