Admission Eligibility:


This program is open to those who have completed a law degree or are in their final year of their first law degree. On rare occasions, business professionals without law degrees but with strong legal backgrounds are accepted to the program.
The program is designed especially for foreign, particularly Russian, Ukrainian and other continentally trained lawyers, who are interested in Anglo-American common law legal methods. Because the course requirements reflect this intent, this program is not appropriate for U.S. lawyers seeking a second degree in U.S. law.
