LL.M. in International Trade

The LL.M. in International Trade allows LL.M. candidates to take advantage of TJSL’s growing international law curriculum and world-class faculty. This LL.M. in International Trade can serve candidates with either a foreign or U.S. law degree.

LL.M. candidates in International Trade must take at least 2 and no more than 4 credits of independent research and writing under the direct supervision of a TJSL faculty member. The 2-4 credits of research and writing must result in a written product of publishable quality in a subject relating to international trade. This writing is equivalent to an LL.M. thesis.

LL.M. candidates in International Trade may take courses from among the many courses offered on line in the existing International Tax & Financial Services LL.M., as long as the students fulfill the requirement of at least one-semester residency on the TJSL campus. Similarly, students may take 4 credits of courses offered in the summer Nice Program or in the China Program. The China Program will count toward the “residency requirement” because it is sponsored by TJSL. LL.M. candidates can also take other TJSL distance learning courses offered in areas related to international trade.

Foreign law graduates are required to show proof of English-language proficiency by submission of TOEFL scores similar to those required for the LLM. in American Legal Studies.

These foreign law graduates taking an LL.M. in International Trade should also take the 1 credit mini-course offered to foreign law students from August l to August l5 called “Introduction to U.S. Legal System”.
