LLM in American Law

The LLM in American Law Program is specifically designed to prepare foreign-trained lawyers for the challenge of global practice. In this program, students are fully integrated into BU Law s JD classes, where they sit side-by-side with American students being trained in the tradition of US legal education. Students not only learn the substance of US doctrine in virtually any area of interest intellectual property, international business transactions, mergers and acquisitions, and alternative dispute resolution, to name only a few they also learn something equally as important: how US lawyers are trained to analyze legal questions and advocate on their clients behalf.
