UA Law International Program More than Doubles in Size

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The University of Alabama School of Law will host 15 international students during the 2001-2002 school year as part of its growing International Graduate Program.

The program offers attorneys from other countries the opportunity to earn a Master of Laws (LL.M.) degree after completing 24 hours of coursework at the Law School. Students may focus on developing knowledge in specific areas of the law, such as international business law or environmental law, or they may tailor a custom course of study to suit individual interests or professional needs.

This year’s class of international lawyers has more than doubled in size since last year’s class and includes 15 students from Brazil, Bulgaria, China, Germany, India, Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, and Thailand.

“The program provides our students an opportunity to meet attorneys from abroad and challenges all of us to a greater awareness of our expanding global economy,” said Timothy Hoff, Gordon Rosen Professor of Law and director of the International Graduate Program.

Enrollment in the LL.M. program is limited.
