International Law

With the globalization of today's economy, attorneys in both public and private sectors represent clients in the international arena. To be effective, lawyers must understand political, economic, business and legal environments of foreign countries as well as those of the U.S. You'll explore these issues at an advanced level, acquiring sophisticated knowledge of international transactions and American law as they function in the global environment. The expertise of our full-time faculty is augmented by visiting scholars from prominent European law schools and by the School's exceptional semester-abroad opportunities.
