08/28/2020
A dozen Master of Laws students began their studies at IU McKinney during the Fall 2020 semester. Some traveled from far away, while others are from Indiana. The 12 students are from six different countries and join a total class of 30 LL.M. students from 17 different countries.
In its 18th year, IU McKinney’s LL.M. program offers opportunities for lawyers practicing in the United States to deepen their expertise in a particular area of law, preparation for lawyers licensed in other countries who wish to pass the bar exam in the United States, and help legal scholars advance their legal knowledge or prepare for a career in academia.
Master of Laws students at IU McKinney are admitted to the LL.M. program prior to making their track choice. During orientation, students talk with faculty, staff, and students about the different program tracks, and then meet with an academic advisor, who assists them in deciding which track best matches each student's career goals and interests. Track choices include:
- American Law for Foreign Lawyers
- Corporate and Commercial Law
- Health Law, Policy, and Bioethics
- Intellectual Property Law
- International and Comparative Law
- International Human Rights Law
- World Trade Law
