In this program, you are fully integrated into BU Law&#8217;s JD classes, where you sit side-by-side with American students being trained in the tradition of US legal education. This means you will not only learn the substance of US doctrine in virtually any area of interest\u2014intellectual property, international business transactions, mergers and acquisitions, alternative dispute resolution, to name only a few\u2014but you will learn something equally as important: how US lawyers are trained to analyze legal questions and advocate on their clients&#8217; behalf.<\/p>\n<p>By the end of the year, we expect you will have developed skills to make you a more effective global practitioner. You will have gained unique insight into the &#8220;mindset&#8221; of US lawyers and others trained in the common law. You will have the necessary perspective to work across borders, and transact with lawyers from diverse traditions and backgrounds.<\/p>\n<h2>Contact Us<\/h2>\n<p>Graduate and International Programs Office<br \/>\nBoston University School of Law<br \/>\n765 Commonwealth Avenue, Suite 802<br \/>\nBoston, MA 02215<br \/>\nTelephone: 617-353-5324<br \/>\nEmail: <a href=\"mailto:gradint@bu.edu\">gradint@bu.edu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Preparing for Global Practice The LLM in American Law Program is specifically designed to prepare foreign lawyers for the challenge of global practice.
