LL.M. Student Central

This year, Jessup will be offered as part of the 2 credit, year-long course, Problem Solving in International Law. The first part of this course includes an introduction to the general theories of international law and methodologies of problem-solving and teamwork. How to apply: Applications will be accepted at the beginning of the second week of Fall 2009. Please submit the following: resume, brief writing sample, and a one page statement explaining your interest in participating in Jessup to Professor Reidel at: ireidel@bu.edu. Please also include a transcript (formal or informal), although this is only one, and not necessarily the most important, of the criteria that will be used to evaluate applications. Jessup is open to 2L and 3L students, and LL.M. students who have not yet engaged in the practice of law. Some prior or simultaneous course work in international law is encouraged but not required. Further information can be found at http://www.ilsa.org/jessup/. There will also be an information session in the first week of Fall 2009, and students are encouraged to bring along their questions about the competition itself and the Problem Solving in International Law course. Decisions on team members will be made before the end of the September add/drop period.
