Our program is designed to help lawyers trained abroad to explore U.S. law, connect with other international lawyers, our world class faculty, and over 23,000 alumni. These relationships are built through our LL.M. students’ work in our clinics, externships, and pro bono projects, and in the extracurricular community we create.
