Master of Laws in International Trade and Business Law (LL.M.) program

The LL.M. program 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.

JD Certificate Program in International Trade and Business Law

The certificate program is designed to provide J.D. candidates at the Rogers College of Law with the same opportunity to prepare themselves for careers in international trade and business law that we have offered to mainly foreign LL.M. candidates for fourteen years. It draws upon the extensive list of courses provided each year in the international law area, but it also recognizes that a good international trade and business lawyer is first and foremost, a good lawyer with strong training in courses related to effective representation of business clients, whether a “Fortune 500” public corporation or a limited liability company.

Second and third year JD candidates at the Rogers College of Law are eligible for one-semester visits under three separate exchange programs, the North American Consortium on Legal Education (NACLE); University of Puerto Rico Law School; and the University of Lyon (Universite Jean Moulin Lyon 3).
