>>Information for Prospective Students
>>Information for Current Students
The Graduate Program in Banking and Financial Law is administered by - and central to the mission of - the Morin Center. The program prepares both U.S. and foreign-trained lawyers for leadership positions in the American and international banking and financial services industries. Established in 1984, the Graduate Program in Banking and Financial Law is the country’s first graduate level program in the field and remains the only such program in the country with its own graduate-level curriculum and faculty.
Students gain expertise from regulatory, transactional and business-oriented courses, taught by a faculty comprised primarily of industry practitioners who are dedicated to sharing the wealth of their experience. The program now offers students opportunities for Financial Services Law Internships and International Development Law Fellowships.

Domestic and international students are welcome and may attend the Graduate Program on a full- or part-time basis (most international students are required to enroll on a full-time basis). All students benefit from the rich array of activities that take place at the Morin Center. For example, new students are encouraged to apply to become part of the staff of the Review of Banking & Financial Law, a student-run journal celebrating its 28th year of continuous publication.
