International Law Offerings for an Increasingly Globalized World

Established more than 40 years ago, our international law program includes more summer abroad opportunities than any other law school in the nation. Through the offerings of our Center for Global Law and Policy, students gain practical skills serving others through our International Human Rights Clinic and develop expertise by earning our International Law Certificate or our LLM in International and Comparative Law. Our international law faculty members include global experts in intellectual property, human rights, environmental law, immigration law, and business transactions.
