IMMERSION IN U.S. LAW FOR FOREIGN LAWYERS
The focus in U.S. law is designed for students who seek to develop an expertise in specific aspects of American law. The rigorous curriculum immerses students in the foundations of U.S. law and legal thought and provides a thorough training in skills critical to advising clients inthe U.S. and globally.
INTERNATIONAL LAW/SPECIALTY FOCUS
The focus in International Law gives students the flexibility to tailor the curriculum to match their academic interests and professional goals. Students may fully concentrate their studies in the area of private and public international law, or combine international law with a specialization in any field of law offered by Loyola's centers and institutes: arbitration, mediation and negotiation; business and tax; child and family; competition; health; intellectual property, and trade and finance. They also may develop their own focus under the guidance of Loyola's engaged international faculty.
